Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn :-)

The idea is testing Salt and Salt-ssh clients, but NOT traditional clients, which are deprecated.

To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

  1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
  2. Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
  3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
  4. Patching
  5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
  6. Salt remote commands
  7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
  8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
  9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
  10. Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

  • If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
  • If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

Zorin OS

In particular the Education version (https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/system-requirements/ and https://zorin.com/os/education/)

Because of the IDLINK and the UBUNTUCODENAME values, it should be compatible with the bundle and client tools for Ubuntu 20.04 out of the box.

A Fedora based OS, successor of Amazon Linux 2.

Some basic tests showed it should be compatible with our EL9 bundle and packages (bundle is installable, but as this test was done in a container, it was not started as systemd didn't work)

A Debian clone with some adjustments and extra packages for Raspbery Pi devices.

With a bit of luck, the aarch64/armv7l Debian12 client tools will work for the 64/32 bits Raspbian distributions. And if Salt identifies them as Debian based, then everything should work and it will be just a matter of adjusting spacewalk-common-channels, bootstrap repository definitions, sls files, package signatures, and Java detection.

Astra Linux

https://astralinux.ru/en/

PR: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/1915

Originally it was a GNU/Linux developed for the Russian army and intelligence agencies, but it now offers a free (as in free beer) version for general usage. It is based on Debian GNU/Linux, so maybe getting some basic support will not be that hard.

Our team in Russia told me about it, so I joined their Telegram support channel some months ago.

Right now there are more than 1600 users at their Telegram channel (linked to Matrix.org with a bridge, which I suspect is what most of the users use) with a lot of traffic each day talking not only about support, but also about news regarding the distribution.

The distribution is now Linux Foundation Corporate Member (Silver).

  • [W] Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    1. After adding the repositories to spacewalk-common-channels works fine.
  • [W] Onboarding (both salt and salt-ssh)
    1. WebUI works (salt and salt-ssh), with some caveats: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/1915
    2. I can bootstrap using a script.
  • [W] Package management
    1. Works!
  • [ ] Patching
    1. Can't test yet, no patches available.
  • [W] Applying any basic salt state
    1. Works!
  • [W] Salt remote commands
    1. Works!

      Hi, nice project. I was trying to help with the debian 9 onboarding testing https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/1356 since the process is still fairly manual. Looks like mgr-create-bootstrap-repo needs tweaking https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/1495 i am not a developer but i can probably tweak scripts and help with some guidance

      Hi @nicoladm

      If that's the only think that's failing, it's not so hard to fix.

      The packages to be added to a bootstrap repository by mgr-create-bootstra-repo are at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/blob/master/susemanager/src/mgr_bootstrap_data.py

      You just need to add a new variable PKGLISTDEBIAN9 with the list of packages required to bootstrap with salt (salt itself and all dependencies). Most probably the list will be similar to Ubuntu18.04.

      Then at DATA you need a new entry debian8-amd64-uyuni (similar to ubuntu-18.04-amd64-uyuni) using the basechannel debian-9-pool-amd64 and adapting the rest.

      And finally, you maybe you will need to adjust https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/susemanager-utils/susemanager-sls/salt/bootstrap (specifically init.sls) if the bootstrap procedure itself fails to find the repository.

      It would be good if you can add both Debian9 and Debian10 :-)

        systems used: KVM VM openSUSE Leap 15.1 with Uyuni 2020.01 KVM VM debian 9.9 Salt minion version: salt-minion2019.2.0+ds-1all.deb

        NOTE: The following repo as mentioned by mateiw on github should contain the patch for salt-minion deb package that suppose to fix the problems related with removing/disabling Debian repos during the bootstrap hence i am using this version salt patch (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement:saltstack:products:testing:debian/salt): https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/saltstack:/products:/testing:/debian/Debian_10/

        Debian 9 repos synced successfully, created a test/qa channel using the Content lifecycle section and created an activation key (1-qa-debian9-test) with the qa channels added to it.

        spacecmd softwarechannel_listchildchannels

        debian-9-amd64-main-security debian-9-amd64-main-updates debian9-opensuse-salt debian9-servers-qa-debian9-debian-9-amd64-main-security debian9-servers-qa-debian9-debian-9-amd64-main-updates debian9-servers-qa-debian9-debian9-opensuse-salt

        After the bootstrap the file pushed by salt is empty.

        /etc/apt/sources.list.d/susemanager:channels.list

        First question that is puzzling me: Is it normal that the channels are not subscribed automatically even if the activation key has the debian channells assigned correctly? Has this something to do with the susemanager-sls state you have mentioned right?

        I will have a closer look to the below files on the uyuni server tomorrow and start play with them

        /usr/share/susemanager/mgrbootstrapdata.py /usr/sbin/mgr-create-bootstrap-repo

          What's the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/susemanager\:channels.list

          Is it normal that the channels are not subscribed automatically even if the activation key has the debian channells assigned correctly?

          Well, if the activation key had the channels assigned BEFORE the onboarding, then that's a bug.

          If you add channels to an activation key AFTER the onboarding, then already onboarded clients will not get the channels.

            What's the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/susemanager:channels.list

            root@debian9-uyuni:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list/susemanager:channels.list # Channels managed by SUSE Manager # Do not edit this file, changes will be overwritten

            To double check I have tried to deselect and reselect the debian channels from the activation key and bootstrapped again and i can confirm I had the same behaviour - i needed to manually subscribe the channels from Systems --> Debian host --> Software --> Software channels because shown as none, disable service.

            Where is the place to raise this bug?

                Not yet, at least not automatically.

                I am facing like a chicken and the egg situation where i need salt-minion-2019.2.0+ds-1.all-deb to be installed in order for the bootstrap to work properly (disable default debian channels and assign the susemanager channels and so on).

                I am looking at the bootstrap script there might be something we need to tweak there as well which is failing with:

                pkg|-salt-minion-package|-salt-minion|-latest(retcode=2): No information found for 'salt-minion'. file|-/etc/salt/minion.d/susemanager.conf|-/etc/salt/minion.d/susemanager.conf|-managed(retcode=2): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package file|-/etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub|-/etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub|-managed(retcode=2): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package service|-salt-minion|-salt-minion|-running(retcode=2): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package, bootstrap./etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem, bootstrap./etc/salt/minion.d/susemanager.conf, bootstrap./etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub, bootstrap./etc/salt/minionid file|-/etc/salt/minionid|-/etc/salt/minionid|-managed(retcode=2): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package file|-/etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem|-/etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem_|-managed(retcode=2): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package<\code>

                Regarding the mgr-bootstrap i made the changes you suggested to /usr/share/susemanager/mgrbootstrapdata.py and it seems to be working fine:

                  Is it normal that the channels are not subscribed automatically even if the activation key has the debian channells assigned correctly?

                  Then in this case, I think it normal. The first thing the bootstraping does is disabling the repositories, and then add the bootstrap repository.

                  no information found for 'salt-minion' seems to show that the package was not found, despite I can at the log you offer.

                  First, check that you can find the package at /srv/www/htdocs/pub/repositories/debian/9/bootstrap/(most probably you will).

                  If that's the case, then it's time to check the susemanage-sls package, as there is where the association between an OS and the bootstrap repository happens, according to the salt grains available during bootstrap (check susemanager-utils/susemanager-sls/salt/bootstrap/).

                  Maybe a patch is needed there, most probably at the init.sls file.

      I'm trying to move away from Spacewalk, but getting stuck with my Fedora clients. It seems there aren't Uyuni client tools built for Fedora, I've got the repo's syncing and salt seems to work, machines are registered. Can't access the susemanager repos. I assume client tools need to be built, but where can I start?

      • juliogonzalezgil
        over 3 years ago by juliogonzalezgil | Reply

        Well, that depends. New distributions will only support salt (unless community actually takes care of maintaining traditional for them)

        You could start by creating an OBS repository based on Fedora and try to build salt there. You can use https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Master:CentOS8-Uyuni-Client-Tools as inspiration.

        But I guess we'd also need changes at other packages, so Uyuni is able to recognize this new distribution. My PR to Add Astra Linux (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/1915) can also be used as insperation (Astra Linux is Debian Based, but even with this in mind, it can be of help).

        As soon as we have someone to take care of them, I will add them :-)

        I understand you want to take care of Alibaba, right @pagarcia?

              Other than traditional stack (untested), everything else tested and works for Alibaba Cloud Linux 2

      Project is updated, in preparation for Hackweek 21.

      As always, we can add more distributions if someone wants to work on them. I plan to focus on finishing Ubuntu 22.04, and testing AlmaLinux9 :-)

      Please can someone correct the SUSE spacewalk GitHub links for openSUSE Leap Micro ( https://github.com/SUSE/spacewalk/issues/20349 and https://github.com/SUSE/spacewalk/issues/20306 ) as they both give "Page not found"

        Yes, I reused things reported for SUSE Manager, and those are private. But they are described at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/6550

      Closing for now, and reopening for next hackweek.

      For this hackweek: - Support for SLE1SP5 and openSUSE Leap 15.5 is added (pending merging) - Support for openSUSE Leap Micro 5.3 is almost there, we just need a fix for the bootstrap problem to have the basic stuff (under research), and then the other fixes that are common for SLE Micro as well. - Support for openSUSE MicroOS is not there, but we'll see if we can get the bundle built in the next few months, as PoC.

      I'll be doing raspbian (or any similar alternative) in the next hackweek (apart from any missing remainings from openEuler).

      Some details:
