Dears,
I am managing a pool of servers running under RHEL 7.6, I created a local repository of RHEL packages to be able to udpated the other servers by limiting the internet access to the server hosting the local repository.
I used the reposync command to populate my repository but I am downloading a huge number of rpms packages!
I would like to reduce the set of packages to download to the ones already deployed on all the severs, I can do the list using the rpm command, (~750 packages).
I read that there is an includepkgs directive to be used with the reposync command.
How is it working, what is the required format?
I know it is possible to use the yumdownloader command to update the local repository, how is it possible to populate the repository for the first time ?
Any help advice would be appreciated
Regards
Fdv
It seems that the best option is to limit to the last version of the packages by using the option :
-n, --newest-only Download only newest packages per-repo

In order to patch RedHat 7 machines to version 7.9, I've created an RPM repository with RPMs extracted from a DVD.iso file of the patch (example source guide), and updated said machines using yum.
The patch has succeeded with many of the machines (RHEL 7.7 only), but the rest (7.0, 7.2 and some 7.7 as well) have failed the with the following error:
Error: requested datatype filelists not available
I've also tried to gradualize the process and patch the 7.0 and 7.2 ones to 7.7 first by the same process, but yielded the same result. I've made sure I got each and every file in the Packages folder.
It is rather puzzling for me that some succeed and some fail, especially those with the same version. But I'm assuming they were created differently as I don't have the information to say otherwise. So my best direction would be to go by the error.
In this github post, lr1980 says:
https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2015/07/20/yum-repository-internals/
this means the "filelists.xml.gz" is missing on repo => it's a packager.io problem
Indeed, browsing my repository's repodata folder reveals only other.xml.gz and primary.xml.gz files, which are also the only files pointed to in the repomd.xml.
I've tried uploading the filelists.xml.gz file from the dvd.iso and reindexing, but it gets removed (admittedly am not familiar with this area of knowledge.. at all). What does "it's a packager.io problem" mean?
How can I force the repo to have such a file, assuming that's what I need? Or what can I do to solve this issue otherwise?
Many thanks
Steps to reproduce are very easy.
Create a Dockerfile.
My Dockerfile has many more lines, but I have trimmed them so we can focus in the source of the problem.
Said that, these two lines alone (without anything more) show the problem.
FROM microsoft/iis
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; $VerbosePreference = 'Continue'; "]
Run docker build . and you get hcsshim::PrepareLayer - failed failed in Win32: Función incorrecta. (0x1).
Windows 10 Pro 1909 (but it happened too in 1903)
Docker version: 2.1.0.5
Engine: 19.03.5
Machine: 0.16.2
I have found the solution to the problem.
Reading all the https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3884 bug, some have found a simple solution: rename C:\windows\system32\driver\cbfsconnect2017.sys so it isn't loaded the next boot.
Disabling that driver enables me to do a docker build for the first time in windows containers in almost a year.
In my case Box Sync was the one using that driver.
EDIT: #GustavoTM have found that pCloud raises the same problem.
EDIT2: #VonC have noticed that some people in the issue in GitHub has solved it deleting this other file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\cbfs6.sys. I haven't tried that, but i put it if it helps others.
The good thing is that I don't need to uninstall Box, but only rename that file.
This is still an issue (still open) with Win10.
Looks like uninstalling cloud storage providers with file system filters like Dropbox, Box, etc. as a workaround is an option for some users.
Deinstall cloud storage providers or virus scanners; if you identify which one is not working please share in https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3884
In my case was the problem similar but the file cbfs6.sys was placed somewhere in the rest of uninstalled application Jungle disk, somewhere in the folder c:\Program files\Jungle disk .... It's part of Callback File System signed by EldoS Corporation.
The folder could be rename only and not delete directly. So I could delete its immediately after the PC restart, before running the Docker. So it could be delete during the Docker service restart too.
I am trying to make a Django server on AWS. My django app depends on some mathematical python libraries like numpy, scipy, sklearn etc. However there is an issue for which I need to this after every deployment
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
---------------------------------------
add this line in the file
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
---------------------------------------
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd reload
Basically I need "WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}" in my wsgi.conf file otherwise I get 504. I am using a Custom AMI built on top of Amazon Linux 2014 and I am using EB CLI for deployment. However whenever I deploy the wsgi.conf is reset and it does not contain the line that I have added previously and I need to manually SSH into the EC2 instance and do this task myself. It gives a overhead on every deployment and its also not feasible once we scale up (cloning or creating instances also resets it). So is there a way that this will be automatically done after every deployment ?
The content of the wsgi.conf is fixed, so basically I can make a script easily to create it but the issue is how to trigger the script automatically ?
PS:I am new to AWS
You need to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk feature called .ebextensions: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customize-containers-ec2.html
In your case you can't use Files or Commands sections, because:
The commands are processed in alphabetical order by name, and they run
before the application and web server are set up and the application
version file is extracted.
You need to use Container_commands section:
They run after the application and web server have been set up and the
application version file has been extracted, but before the
application version is deployed.
Example .ebextensions/01wsgi.config (not tested :-))
container_commands:
apache_reload:
command: |
echo "WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}" >> /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
/etc/init.d/httpd reload
Feel free to tweak my example as you want, for example you can copy your temporary wsgi.conf file somewhere and then replace original in Container_commands section.
I'm using composer internally for managing internal software dependencies. Our repository server is on our private network and we aren't using any other package from any other repository than ours.
Every time you run
composer.phar [install | update]
It checks on packagist.org repositories after check our own repository. Beyond unnecessary, it takes longer when packagist is slow (or even down) or our internet connection is having a bad day.
Is there any way to tell composer to ignore checking for packagist repositories?
Yes, and it is even documented on https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#disabling-packagist-org
You may try to use this command:
$ composer config repositories.packagist false
You probably want to have a look at Satis: http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/handling-private-packages-with-satis.md
It will make your life easier if you deal with a bit more of local/private packages, because otherwise you'd have to mention EVERY repository that might host required code. And you can use Satis to grab a copy of the versions into a ZIP file that can be hosted locally as well. See http://www.naderman.de/slippy/src/?file=2012-11-22-You-Thought-Composer-Couldnt-Do-That.html#13 for some hints of how to do it (press cursor keys left/right to skip through the presentation)
For extra bonus points, you'd add packagist.org as a Composer repository to Satis, require some needed packages, and set { "require-dependencies": true } to grab their dependencies as well. In your own code, you'd only set your Satis repository and disable Packagist.
I am trying to set up a WebDAV folder on my CentOS server. I have for the most part succeeded. My problem is that I am trying to set up a size limit (quota) on the folder. I found a blog that spelled out how to do that using the "DAVSATMaxAreaSize" command. However, when I restart Apache, I get the error: "Invalid command 'DAVSATMaxAreaSize', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration". Does this mean the module that supports this command is not installed? How can I fix this?
You need to recompile your apache.
Download patch from http://www.geocities.jp/t_sat7/webdav/webdav.html
Download rpm source for apache from centos repos. Patch it with patch u downloaded and recompile apache.
I had the problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 server but I didn't want to recompile my apache. I "solved" it as follows:
I created a file container using dd (for 100MB):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/webdav-file-container bs=1048576 count=100
And created a filesystem in that container:
mkfs.ext4 /var/webdav-file-container
Then I mounted this container as folder for my share:
mount /var/webdav-file-container /var/webdav-share
So, now the filesystem in the container has a fixed size and apache cannot write more than the 100MB.
The only thing is that the user does not know how much space is left on that share. The Windows client report the size of it's own system drive ...
