So I am giving it a try to Landscape but I am having multiple issues along the way, what I want to attempt top do is to create a local or main repository on my Landscape server, so all the clients when they search and install for a package, they get it through the landscape server and not themselves on the internet.
I have created a distributions
# landscape-api create-distribution lala-ubuntu
I also created series and pockets that according to the documentation, will hold the actual packages:
# landscape-api create-series --pockets release,updates --components main,extras,restricted --architectures i386,amd64,x86_64 --gpg-key secret-key --mirror-uri http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ --mirror-series xenial xenial lala-ubuntu
However, the issues occurs once I start the sync mirror process:
# landscape-api sync-mirror-pocket release xenial apl-ubuntu
# landscape-api sync-mirror-pocket updates xenial apl-ubuntu
I get something like this:
{u'activity_status': u'undelivered', u'children': [{u'activity_status': u'undelivered',
u'children': [],
u'completion_time': None,
u'creation_time': u'2016-12-28T13:52:00Z',
u'id': 151,
u'parent_id': 150,
u'pocket_id': 9,
u'pocket_name': u'release',
u'progress': 0,
u'result_code': None,
u'result_text': None,
u'schedule_after_time': None,
u'schedule_before_time': None,
and when I query the ID I get:
u'result_text': u"Could not find 'main/binary-x86_64/Packages' within './lists/update-xenial_xenial_InRelease'\r\nThere have been errors!\r\n", u'schedule_after_time': None, u'schedule_before_time': None, u'summary': u"Sync pocket 'release' of series 'xenial' in distribution 'apl-ubuntu'",
Anybody has any experience with this or has successfully managed to create a local repo for landscape clients? Any help will be very very appreciated
