aweiteka/pulp-admin repository overview

⁠Running pulp-admin as a Docker container

The pulp-admin client may be run as a container. It works best to create an alias for the docker run command. The ENTRYPOINT for the container is the pulp-admin executable, so commands may simply be passed as arguments to the alias. For example, pulp-client <pulp admin arguments>.

⁠Setup

1. The ~/.pulp directory will be mounted when the container is run. Add the pulp server hostname and any other configuration values to ~/.pulp/admin.conf

    [server]
    host = pulp-server.example.com
   

   Copy

2. Pull the pulp-admin image

    docker pull aweiteka/pulp-admin
   

   Copy

3. Create a directory for uploads for the output of docker save, for example, /tmp/pulp_uploads/. This will be mapped to the container so local files may be uploaded from the container. Use this in the next step.

4. Create an alias for pulp-client. For example, update your $HOME/.bashrc file with the line below and run source $HOME/.bashrc.

    alias pulp-client="sudo docker run --rm -t -v $HOME/.pulp:/.pulp -v /tmp/pulp_uploads/:/tmp/pulp_uploads/ aweiteka/pulp-admin"
   

   Copy
