class cobbler.items.distro.Distro(api: CobblerAPI, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

Bases: Item

A Cobbler distribution object

COLLECTION_TYPE = 'distro'

TYPE_NAME = 'distro'

property arch

The field is mainly relevant to PXE provisioning.

Using an alternative distro type allows for dhcpd.conf templating to “do the right thing” with those systems – this also relates to bootloader configuration files which have different syntax for different distro types (because of the bootloaders).

This field is named “arch” because mainly on Linux, we only care about the architecture, though if (in the future) new provisioning types are added, an arch value might be something like “bsd_x86”.

Returns

Return the current architecture.

property boot_loaders: List[str]

All boot loaders for which Cobbler generates entries for.

Note

This property can be set to <<inherit>>.

Getter

The bootloaders.

Setter

Validates this against the list of well-known bootloaders and raises a TypeError or ValueError in case the validation goes south.

property breed: str

The repository system breed. This decides some defaults for most actions with a repo in Cobbler.

Getter

The breed detected.

Setter

May raise a ValueError or TypeError in case the given value is wrong.

check_if_valid()

Check if a distro object is valid. If invalid an exception is raised.

find_distro_path()

This returns the absolute path to the distro under the distro_mirror directory. If that directory doesn’t contain the kernel, the directory of the kernel in the distro is returned.

Returns

The path to the distribution files.

property initrd: str

Specifies an initrd image. Path search works as in set_kernel. File must be named appropriately.

Getter

The current path to the initrd.

Setter

May raise a TypeError or ValueError in case the validation is not successful.

property kernel: str

Specifies a kernel. The kernel parameter is a full path, a filename in the configured kernel directory or a directory path that would contain a selectable kernel. Kernel naming conventions are checked, see docs in the utils module for find_kernel.

Getter

The last successfully validated kernel path.

Setter

May raise a ValueError or TypeError in case of validation errors.

link_distro()

Link a Cobbler distro from its source into the web directory to make it reachable from the outside.

make_clone()

Clone a distro object.

Returns

The cloned object. Not persisted on the disk or in a database.

property os_version: str

The operating system version which the image contains.

Getter

The sanitized operating system version.

Setter

Accepts a str which will be validated against the distro_signatures.json.

property parent

Distros don’t have parent objects.

property redhat_management_key: str

Get the redhat management key. This is probably only needed if you have spacewalk, uyuni or SUSE Manager running.

Note

This property can be set to <<inherit>>.

Returns

The key as a string.

property remote_boot_initrd: str

URL to a remote initrd. If the bootloader supports this feature, it directly tries to retrieve the initrd and boot it. (grub supports tftp and http protocol and server must be an IP).

Getter

Returns the current remote URL to boot from.

Setter

Raises a TypeError or ValueError in case the provided value was not correct.

property remote_boot_kernel: str

URL to a remote kernel. If the bootloader supports this feature, it directly tries to retrieve the kernel and boot it. (grub supports tftp and http protocol and server must be an IP).

Getter

Returns the current remote URL to boot from.

Setter

Raises a TypeError or ValueError in case the provided value was not correct.

property remote_grub_initrd: str

This is tied to the remote_boot_initrd property. It contains the URL of that field in a format which grub can use directly.

Getter

The computed URL from remote_boot_initrd.

property remote_grub_kernel: str

This is tied to the remote_boot_kernel property. It contains the URL of that field in a format which grub can use directly.

Getter

The computed URL from remote_boot_kernel.

property source_repos: List[Any]

A list of http:// URLs on the Cobbler server that point to yum configuration files that can be used to install core packages. Use by cobbler import only.

Getter

The source repos used.

Setter

The new list of source repos to use.

property supported_boot_loaders: List[str]

Some distributions, particularly on powerpc, can only be netbooted using specific bootloaders.

Returns

The bootloaders which are available for being set.

property tree_build_time: float

Represents the import time of the distro. If not imported, this field is not meaningful.

Getter

Setter

class cobbler.items.image.Image(api: CobblerAPI, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

Bases: Item

A Cobbler Image. Tracks a virtual or physical image, as opposed to a answer file (autoinst) led installation.

COLLECTION_TYPE = 'image'

Setter

Should be of the enum type or str. May raise an exception in case the architecture is not known to Cobbler.

property autoinstall: str

Property for the automatic installation file path, this must be a local file.

It may not make sense for images to have automatic installation templates. It really doesn’t. However if the image type is ‘iso’ koan can create a virtual floppy and shove an answer file on it, to script an installation. This may not be a automatic installation template per se, it might be a Windows answer file (SIF) etc.

This property can inherit from a parent. Which is actually the default value.

Getter

The path relative to the template directory.

Setter

The location of the template relative to the template base directory.

property boot_loaders: List[str]

Represents the boot loaders which are able to boot this image.

Getter

The bootloaders. May be an emtpy list.

Setter

A list with the supported boot loaders for this image.

Returns the display name.

Getter

Returns the display name for the boot menu.

Setter

Sets the display name for the boot menu.

property file: str

Getter

The path to the image location or an emtpy string.

Setter

May raise a TypeError or SyntaxError in case the validation of the location fails.

property image_type: ImageTypes

Indicates what type of image this is. direct = something like “memdisk”, physical only iso = a bootable ISO that pxe’s or can be used for virt installs, virtual only virt-clone = a cloned virtual disk (FIXME: not yet supported), virtual only memdisk = hdd image (physical only)

Getter

The enum type value of the image type.

Setter

Accepts str like and enum type values and raises a TypeError or ValueError in the case of a problem.

make_clone()

Clone this image object. Please manually adjust all value yourself to make the cloned object unique.

Returns

The cloned instance of this object.

property menu: str

Property to represent the menu which this image should be put into.

Getter

The name of the menu or an emtpy str.

Setter

property virt_bridge: str

The name of the virtual bridge used for networking.

Warning

The new validation for the setter is not working. Thus the inheritance from the settings is broken.

Getter

The name of the bridge.

Setter

The new name of the bridge. If set to an empty str, it will be taken from the settings.

property virt_cpus: int

The amount of vCPU cores used in case the image is being deployed on top of a VM host.

Getter

The cores used.

Setter

The new number of cores.

property virt_disk_driver: VirtDiskDrivers

The type of disk driver used for storing the image.

Getter

The enum type representation of the disk driver.

Setter

May be a str with the name of the disk driver or from the enum type directly.

property virt_file_size: float

8.1.3.13. Module contents

This package contains all data storage classes. The classes are responsible for ensuring that types of the properties are correct but not for logical checks. The classes should be as stupid as possible. Further they are responsible for returning the logic for serializing and deserializing themselves.
