Workflows

This chapter assumes you have a working pulp installation including the pulp_deb plugin.

All REST API examples below use httpie to perform the requests. The httpie commands below assume that the user executing the commands has a .netrc file in the home directory. The .netrc should have the following configuration:

machine localhost
login admin
password admin

If you configured the admin user with a different password, adjust the configuration accordingly. If you prefer to specify the username and password with each request, please see httpie documentation on how to do that.

In order to make the workflows usable via copy and paster, we make use of environmental variables in all examples:

export BASE_ADDR=http://<hostname>:24817
