A Docker-ized Centos Content Host for Red Hat Satellite 6

Current automated tags are: centos5, centos6, centos7, sles11, sles12, opensuse

Manual tags are: rhel6, rhel72, rhel7

docker pull jacobcallahan/content-host-d:<tag>

or specify a directory and build the image manually

docker build -t ch-d:sles11 SLES11/.

docker run <arguments> jacobcallahan/content-host-d:<tag>

-e (e.g. -e "SATHOST=my.hostname.domain.com")

• AK - Name of the Activation Key to use.
• AUTH - Satellite username and password. (AUTH=username/password)
• ENV - Name of the Environment to use.
• KILL - If this is not passed, then the container will be kept alive and goferd running.
• ORG - Name of the Organization to use.
• SATHOST(Required) - Hostname of the Satellite (not url).
• LOCAL - IP Address of the Satellite Server when we are not able to retrieve the correct info via DNS.

If you want to be able to use katello-agent, you must mount your /dev/log to the container at runtime. (i.e. -v /dev/log:/dev/log)

docker run -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:5

docker run -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "LOCAL=192.168.0.10" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:5

docker run -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "ENV=Dev" -e "AUTH=username/password" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:6

docker run -d -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "AK=sat62" -e "KILL=1" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:7

docker run -h DockerCH -v /dev/log:/dev/log -d -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "AK=sat62" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:5

for i in {1..10}; do docker run -d -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "AK=sat62" -e "KILL=1" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:6; done;

for i in {1..10}; do docker run -d -h Docker$i -e "SATHOST=my.host.domain.com" -e "AK=sat62" jacobcallahan/content-host-d:7; done;

This repo also contains a flood.py helper script to orchestrate container creation and deletion. You will need python and docker-py (via pip) installed locally.

See python flood.py -h for usage.

There are two primary modes:

• Traditional - Create normal content host containers.
• Virt - Create fake hypervisors on the Satellite, then create guest container hosts.

You can also use the available playbooks in playbooks folder of this project to setup a container host or run the flood.py script.

container host setup

ansible-playbook --inventory=containerhost.example.com, --extra-vars 'WORKSPACE=/home/testlab/workspace/content-host-d CONTAINER_OS=RHEL7' chd-setup.yaml

Run flood.py

ansible-playbook --inventory=containerhost.example.com, --extra-vars 'SATELLITE_HOST=satellite.example.com CONTENT_HOST_PREFIX=testhost ACTIVATION_KEY=rhel7ak NUMBER_OF_HOSTS=3 EXIT_CRITERIA=registration CONTAINER_TAG=rhel7' chd-run.yaml
