Migrate uyuni from bare metal to k8s

[gustavalentin]

HI team how are you? I want to ask a question. I'm checking the documentation on how to migrate uyuni from bare metal to k8s and I see that a new server is required, which will do the migration and manage uyuni. Can you explain to me why this server is necessary? And if it needs to be bare metal or can I use a pod with the openSuse image? Regards

@cbosdo any insides on this one?

I would not recommend to migrate to kubernetes at the moment: there are huge changes going a head and I fixed a big number of issues. You can check out PRs uyuni-project/uyuni-tools#450 and uyuni-project/uyuni-tools#507 to monitor or test them. The documentation about kubernetes is also old and more like dev notes than real user-facing one.

@cbosdo ok, i Have a question, can I upgrade to Uyuni 2024.10 on bare metal? the documentation is not clear about it. In the documentation appear only the procedure to migrate to Kubernetes, and not in bare metal

You can migrate to podman. This should also be documented. Staying on the old rpm based installation is not supported anymore.
Containers are required now.

Here is the official documentation to migration to podman containers running on a bare-metal (or Virtual) machine: https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/installation-and-upgrade/container-deployment/uyuni/migrate-uyuni-to-a-container.html
