Problem getting RedHat extras repo on workstations

[vrmerlin]

What you expected to happen?

I've grabbed the master branch with fix #168. However, when I tried it, it still doesn't work on my system.

What happened?

I get the error:

Error: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y --enablerepo=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms install docker-ce' returned 1: Error getting repository data for rhel-7-server-extras-rpms, repository not found

How to reproduce it?

My system is a workstation, not a server. The fix for #168 seems to only work on servers. Try doing a docker installation on a RedHat workstation to reproduce.

Anything else we need to know?

My yum list of repos contains the following:

!rhel-7-workstation-extras-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workstation - Extras (RPMs) enabled: 34

Versions:

$ puppet --version
5.3.5
$ docker version
(doesn't get installed)
$ facter os
{
  architecture => "x86_64",
  distro => {
    codename => "Maipo",

@vrmerlin the module does not currently support workstations. You can override repo_opt param in your node definition to change the repo name in this case.

We're happy to review a PR from the community to support it.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by how i would override repo_opt in my node definition. Is there an example someplace?

I'll play around with putting a PR together, but I'm not sure yet how to tell the difference between a workstation and a server (e.g. "facter" doesn't contain the word "workstation" anywhere).

[davejrt]

In the setup portion of the readme it provides an example of how to override the default repo options.

Could you update your initial post with your manifest?

In your case I would suspect that something like this would do the trick

node docker_host {

  class { 'docker':
    repo_opt => 'rhel-7-workstation-extras-rpms',
  }
}

[vrmerlin]

Close! Here's what worked:

repo_opt => '--enablerepo=rhel-7-workstation-extras-rpms',

Thanks!
