Scheduling a Publish

A repository can be published automatically using an iso8601 interval. To create a scheduled publish, the interval, publish override config, and other schedule options must be set on a repository’s distributor.

Method: POST
Path: /pulp/api/v2/repositories/<repo_id>/distributors/<distributor_id>/schedules/publish/
Permission: create
Request Body Contents:
  • schedule (string) - the schedule as an iso8601 interval
  • override_config (object) - (optional) the overridden configuration for the distributor to be used on the scheduled publish
  • failure_threshold (number) - (optional) consecutive failures allowed before this scheduled publish is disabled
  • enabled (boolean) - (optional) whether the scheduled publish is initially enabled (defaults to true)
Response Codes:
  • 201 - if the schedule was successfully created
  • 400 - if one or more of the parameters are invalid
  • 404 - if there is no repository or distributor with the specified IDs
Return: schedule report representing the current state of the scheduled call

Sample Request: 

{
 "override_config": {},
 "schedule": "PT1H",
 "failure_threshold": 3,
}

Retrieving Publish History

Retrieve publish history for a repository. Each publish performed on a repository creates a history entry.

Method: GET
Permission: read
Path: /pulp/api/v2/repositories/<repo_id>/history/publish/<distributor_id>/
Query Parameters:
  • limit (integer) - (optional) the maximum number of history entries to return; if not specified, the entire history is returned
  • sort (string) - (optional) options are ‘ascending’ and ‘descending’; the array is sorted by the publish timestamp
  • start_date (iso8601 datetime) - (optional) any entries with a timestamp prior to the given date are not returned
  • end_date (iso8601 datetime) - (optional) any entries with a timestamp after the given date are not returned
Response Codes:
  • 200 - if the history was successfully retrieved
  • 404 - if the repository id given does not exist
Return: an array of publish history entries
