[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk and Satellite question

[Andreas Dijkman]

For OEL you can also use Oracle Linux Manager 2.10. It’s a patched version of Spacewalk 2.10 with additional support for OEL8.

Source-code: https://github.com/oracle/spacewalk/tree/OracleLinuxManager-2.10
Public yum-repo: http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/oraclelinuxmanager210/server//x86_64/

Works like a charm on OL7 as OS for Oracle Linux Manager itself with PostgreSQL as a backend. Here with PostgreSQL12 as DB.

Satellite 5 and lower only supported RHEL and Solaris for support SLA reasons. Spacewalk can support multiple distributions at once with their own repositories, but the Solaris support was removed due to lack of interest/user base that still required it.

Thank you for answer.

So, if Satellite is v5.x or lower is it possible to use it to access a different repos depending on the distro you are using?

Spacewalk was  the upstream open source code base for Satellite prior to version 6. so Satellite 5.x and lower were Spacewalk. Starting with Satellite version 6 Red Hat based it on Katello.
Spacewalk was a Red Hat project until very recently.
That said, I think it would be difficult to install both on the same machine because you would have conflicting versions of some of the same components. You can install SAM and spacewalk on the same box (with a lot of difficulty) and even sync them but it would probably be extremely difficult if not impossible to install Satellite and spacewalk on the same machine without using virtualization.

Hi experts,

I facing a problem to upgrade/update my Oracle linux. Currently my network has many RHEL using Satellite to upgrade/update but now we are going to start using OEL. Per security policies is not allow to connect directly linux with a proxy. We solved RHEL with Satellite but it's not available for OEL. I see that OEL can use Spacewalk (based on Deb) but I don't know if installing Spacewalk on the same server than Satellite could be the solution.

Could you give me ideas?

Thank you in advance
