Description Rich Jerrido 2016-01-27 17:03:02 UTC

Description of problem:

As a user of Satellite 6, I would like the ability to have a 'lightweight' version of the Satellite capsule. I have remote sites with limited resources and little disk space. I'd like to deploy a capsule there with all the other features (DNS, DHCP, TFTP, Templates, etc) BUT proxy all content related items (RPMs, etc) back to the Satellite itself.

Moving 6.2 bugs out to sat-backlog.

Comment 11 Eric Helms 2017-02-07 18:26:22 UTC

For this idea of "lightweight", do you mean:

 a) lightweight storage (no RPMs/content stored on the Capsule)
 b) lightweight software (no Pulp/mongodb running on the Capsule)
 c) both

In a perfect world c) both (since that is one less service to manage, one less DB to backup, etc), but at a minimum a). 

Especially if a) is a new download policy in Pulp. Then the user can switch to/from any other policy (such as immediate or on-demand) to proxy-only.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
