CentOS/RHEL package

[fabiankrack]

PR is still in a rough state, but i'd like to get some initial feedback and discussions about that topic.

Current state of the generated RPM is that sudo ralphctl migrate fails with:

$ source /opt/ralph/ralph-core/bin/activate
(ralph-core) $ sudo ralphctl migrate
SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:

ERRORS:
trade_marks.TradeMark.image: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed.
	HINT: Get Pillow at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow or run command "pip install Pillow".
(ralph-core) $

although Pillow is installed. Not sure whether the actual issue is a missing package/library, i'm not a Django expert.

Great start 👍 Are you sure Pillow is installed? What does pip freeze show?

[fabiankrack]

Yep, Pillow seems to be installed:

$ sudo ralphctl migrate
SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:

$ source /opt/ralph/ralph-core/bin/activate
(ralph-core) $ which pip
/opt/ralph/ralph-core/bin/pip
(ralph-core) $ pip freeze
...
Pillow==5.3.0

Haven't tried it on CentOS 8 yet.

hello.

amazing tool and initiative for RHEL users.

Is there any update on the progress of the rpm ?
I would like to use it to install raplh on a new RHEL8 machine.

Thanks :)

Sorry, i wasn' aware that this PR is still open, but i consider it abandoned from my side. Volunteer welcome to continue :-)

Thank you for the quick reply. Too bad.

The ralph solution is great. Lightweight, simple UI and easy to configure. I really would like to implement it in my ITSM stack for our infra.

I am quite novice and discovering how to convert package for debian/ubuntu to rhel but cannot seem to make it work.
Hopefully someone with more experience than me will take over your great work!!

maybe do you have any advice on how to run it on openshift as containerisation is my second option to run the app.

Have a great day

ps: Do you have any advice, tutorial to convert packages from one linux distro to another?
