RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2016-06-01 17:32:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
I noticed that package docker now requires package subscription-manager.
Technically docker should require subscription-manager-plugin-container (which in turn already requires subscription-manager).  Package subscription-manager-plugin-container is where the magic is done to share entitlements from the docker host with its running containers.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# rpm -q docker
docker-1.8.2-8.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# rpm --query docker --requires
/bin/bash
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
config(docker) = 1.8.2-8.el7
device-mapper-libs >= 7:1.02.90-1
docker-selinux >= 1.8.2-8.el7

Actual results:
  above

Expected results:
  replace "subscription-manager" with "subscription-manager-plugin-container"




Additional info:
subscription-manager-plugin-container in turn requires subscription-manager
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# rpm --query subscription-manager-plugin-container --requires

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2016-06-01 19:39:59 UTC 
Lokesh can you update this.
Comment 3 John Sefler 2016-08-17 12:45:33 UTC 
I am having some second thoughts on this and would like an opinion from one of the original sub-man developers to determine if docker should require subscription-manager or subscription-manager-plugin-container.

After some experimenting, subscription-manager-plugin-container package does not appear to be a requirement for an entitled host to share it's entitlement with a running docker container.

So what is the purpose of package subscription-manager-plugin-container?  Is it only needed to pull docker images from a red hat registry?
Comment 4 Devan Goodwin 2016-08-17 15:19:19 UTC 
To the best of my recollection, the container plugin configures Docker to be able to pull from our registry, however last I heard we do not currently enforce authentication, so today it may not seem required and would make no difference. I don't know where efforts stand on enabling cert auth in the prod registry. However it's probably a good idea to get that dep in there if possible.

Then there's the question of being able to use yum in the containers themselves, but I think this is implemented externally to the plugin as an actual patch to Docker itself? (memory is getting a little fuzzy here, but I think the plugin is just for configuring Docker to be able to pull from the registry)
Comment 5 John Sefler 2016-08-17 16:02:53 UTC 
Thank you Devan for confirming my observations and understanding.

Therfore, updating docker to require subscription-manager-plugin-container would be making a proactive future fix for enabling cert auth to the production registry that is not immediately necessary today.
Comment 6 Lokesh Mandvekar 2016-08-17 16:19:51 UTC 
This change will go in for 7.3.0 for docker, and I'm cloning this bug for docker-latest in 7.2.7 extras
Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2016-08-19 21:02:20 UTC 
Lokesh can we move this to the modified state?
Comment 9 Luwen Su 2016-11-10 09:07:58 UTC 
This is fixed in docker-1.12.3-4.el7.x86_64, move to verified

Comment 13 Daniel Walsh 2017-02-20 18:26:28 UTC 
Lokesh, looks like subscription-manager-plugin-container is not required, can you fix this in the docker we are about to ship?
