The Pulp project has decided to deprecate Ansible installer in favour of containerized installations, see the motivations here.

The error you are experiencing might be related to this change.

Thanks for the reply… Typically the repo is held on-premise. I have following qns…

  1. does it mean that I have create an on-prem kubernetes cluster now and deploy pulp3 via the pulp operator?
  2. If that’s the case, where does it hold the massive binary repository, via some volume mount to the pulp instance mounted via the operator?
  3. All the demo and videos in google search is coming with pulp operator in redhat openshift deployment, can I deploy it in a kubernetes cluster managed by the rancher cluster in the same way for redhat openshift?

Thanks

There are still multiple ways to deploy. If you know what you are doing, you can install from pypi. But there’s really not much expertise around for that method, so you are basically on your own. Then there is the “single-container” flavor of images. They should run on any oci compliant container runtime environment. There’s a podman-compose file around, you can use as a starting point for a single machine micro-service installation (or to understand how the microservices colaborate). And than, of course, the operator you mentioned. I believe, in the end, it depends on the size of your installation, what the best method is. There may be more methods of installation around, but we just cannot take accountability for all of them.
As for the storage, you can configure object storage. See
