orcharhino 5.11. Release Notes

Features

• orcharhino Clients
  • We are now providing orcharhino clients for ARM64 for Ubuntu 20.04. For example, you can now attach and serve content to Raspberry Pi’s running Ubuntu 20.04.
  • We’ve added the `tracer` package for Oracle Linux 8 to ensure the hosts reports a required reboot back to orcharhino if a Kernel update has been installed.
  • On a multi-arch Debian or Ubuntu host, we’re now suppressing the warning that a repository only supports certain architectures. Set the supported architecture on the given repository on your orcharhino Server.
• SCC Manager:
  • You can now pass a new parameter to the API function that returns the SCC products for an account. It will return only the subscribed products if you set the `subscribed_only` parameter to true. hammer scc_manager scc_accounts scc_products list --scc-account-id 1 --subscribed-only true
• Salt:
  • New API endpoint for SaltStack users: You can now set Salt parameters for Host Groups. This has been possible with the GUI for a while, now it’s also possible via API.
• Foreman ACD:
  • We’ve added a filter on the Hosts > All Hosts page to filter hosts using a specific ACD application instances.

  • New content management guide for APT and YUM content.
    You can use orcharhino to serve content to hosts running Alma Linux, Amazon Linux, CentOS, Debian, Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu. This guide helps you step-by-step to import content to orcharhino, version it according to your needs, and serve it to hosts. If you are using RHEL or SLES, you can import a Manifest file or connect to your SCC account to conveniently import content.

  • Extended application centric deployment (ACD) guide.
  • New procedure to switch SCC accounts in orcharhino.
  • New section to run REX jobs on orcharhino Server itself as part of our security guide.
  • We now recommend running orcharhino Server on hosts with at least 20GiB RAM to prevent synchronization failure with large repos like Debian main.
  • New detailed procedure for SLES client requirements in form of products from SCC Manager. This helps you provide the proper content when attaching hosts running SLES.
  • We’ve added a new warning about custom repositories to prevent version mismatches when installing and upgrading orcharhino. Everything you need to run orcharhino Server and orcharhino Proxy comes from ATIX’s ACC.
