Description of problem: When RHSM is used during the IPU, the proxy defined in RHSM is used, as it generates the redhat.repo file with the proxy setting. But in case of RHUI repositories, there is no equivalent. Usually customers choose /etc/yum.conf to define it, but this is not taken into account in the target userspace container (/etc/yum/* are symlinked to /etc/dnf/* but not the main config file). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): leapp-upgrade-el7toel8-0.15.0-6.el7_9 How reproducible: Always for AWS Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to upgrade a RHEL 7.9 OS (PAYG on AWS, not BYOS) behind a proxy. Actual results: Unable to reach RHUI repos. Additional info: * to workaround the issue, the proxy has been added to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, and then the DNF config has been added by patching /usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/actors/scanfilesfortargetuserspace/libraries/scanfilesfortargetuserspace.py. * the suggested feature I mentioned in rhbz#2040706 could help
Hi Chris, thanks for the report and sorry for delayed answer. The mentioned feature could be the solution / workaround for this bugzilla. For now as a workaround customer can create a custom actor that does basically the same, so they are not blocked till a solution is delivered. To see how to create a custom actor follow: https://access.redhat.com/articles/4977891#actors Such an actor.py file could look like this in the simplest example: ~~~ from leapp.actors import Actor from leapp.models import CopyFile, TargetUserSpacePreupgradeTasks from leapp.tags import FactsPhaseTag, IPUWorkflowTag class MyDNFProxyWorkaround(Actor): name = 'my_dnf_proxy_workaround' consumes = () produces = (TargetUserSpacePreupgradeTasks,) tags = (FactsPhaseTag, IPUWorkflowTag) def process(self): # In case the current /etc/yum.conf file is compatible with DNF # from RHEL 8, it can be used in the src instead of the dnf one preupgrade_task = TargetUserSpacePreupgradeTasks(copy_files=[ CopyFile(src='/etc/dnf/dnf.conf', dst='/etc/dnf/dnf.conf'), ]) ~~~ Ideal solution for this BZ would be migration of the yum configuration file, but it's unlikely that this happen. Note: Keeping the feature aside for now as we have some discussions around.
The example above expects the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file is already configured correctly for the RHEL 8 DNF (with the proxy added).
