I've just been tasked with an installation that utilises Packer.

When I went to add the repos to our Satellite installation for distribution to our servers, I
noted that there aren't any RHEL repos that seem to be working atm?


This was taken from the hashicorp.repo file available here https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/hashicorp.repo

As advertised here

Cheers

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've reached out internally to figure out who owns these and what's going on.

The team can't reproduce -- can you file a bug report with exact steps to reproduce?

Doesn't take much - go to the URL in my original email for instance. Screen shot attached.

I'm using up to date Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04.1

Cheers

But did you actually try to install via the directions given or just go to that url?

I just went to the URL because I'm not installing directly - I'll be recreating the repo in a Satellite instance for our local servers.

Cheers

Okay, we figured it out. The problem is that the repos don't support index listing yet, so there's no folder navigation via browser. This is in our backlog but not implemented yet.

RHEL is supported, and a package can be downloaded directly by specifying a specific product/version following the above link, such as:
https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/8/x86_64/stable/packer-1.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm

Package managers know how to navigate this standardized repository structure, so following the instructions on the linked tutorial will result in a successful installation.

To recreate the repo for local use, you can use dnf reposync, for example:
dnf reposync --repoid=hashicorp -p ./

Cool, thanks.

In Satellite it's more like

hammer repository create \
--name "My_Repository" \
--content-type "yum" \
--publish-via-http true \
--url http://yum.postgresql.org/9.5/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/ \
--gpg-key "My_Repository" \
--product "My_Product" \
--organization "My_Organization"


Thank you!
