I have version 3.2.2 . I get a signature error when trying to import almalinux9.0. It's in the rhel9 breed. I did 'cobbler sgnature update' and it gets https://cobbler.github.io/signatures/3.0.x/latest.json. I then do 'cobbler signature reload' and it says

There was an error loading the signature data in .
Please check the JSON file or run 'cobbler signature update'.

I copied the laest signature file from github to /var/lib/cobbler/distro_signatures.json. Again i get an error when doing 'cobbler signature reload' but when I restart cobblerd redhat9 now appears. i still can't import almalinux though. i get

I am using CentOS Linux release 8.5.2111 and Cobbler 3.2.2 is all I'm offered to install by yum. I don't mind building and installing from source but am worried that is going to break my setup.

@emyr666 You can normally see a more detailed error in /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log

Got to the bottom of it. The signature file needs to have "Minimal" added to the rhel9 signatures list since the minimal iso for Alma has the Packages directory under a folder called Minimal not one called BaseOS.

  "rhel9": {
    "signatures": [
      "BaseOS",
      "Minimal"
    ],

I believe importing the minimal versions of an ISO is not yet supported:
#2623

Have you tried the full image?

emyr666 commented Dec 12, 2022

No I have not tried the full image because I only want the minimal one. Anyway, with the change I suggest above it works fine.

Looking at that bug report, I think the exact same fix will solve it. I.e just add 'Minimal' to the signatures list.

@NileshChandekar I'm assuming your tests were with the RHEL9 boot ISO, which is simply not supported (yet?) in cobbler. I would suggest filing a separate request for that. I'll just note that after playing with this myself some yesterday, I'm not sure it really possible to make use of an imported RHEL boot ISO. Install will fail because there is no .treeinfo or repositories defined. I was able to hack that up manually as well, but I'm not sure that is something that cobbler really should support itself.
