[Satellite 6] Unable to sync content from Red Hat registries

Environment

• Satellite 6

Issue

• Synchronization of container images from registry.access.redhat.com fails with:

Katello::Errors::PulpError
DKR1008: Could not find registry API at http://registry.access.redhat.com/ 

Katello::Errors::PulpError
PLP0000: Service Unavailable 

Katello::Errors::PulpError
DKR1007: Could not fetch repository xxx/yyy from registry http://registry.access.redhat.com - Service Unavailable 

Discovery failed. Error: 408 Request Timeout container

Resolution

• Modify the repository URL so it uses https instead of http.

For GUI users:

• Go to the following page:

- WebUI --> Content --> Products --> <product_name> --> <repository_name>

• Modify the URL so it looks like this:

Registry URL: https://registry.access.redhat.com/

• Save the changes and start a new sync.

For CLI users:

• Find the registry repositories and note down their ID:

hammer repository list

• Change the URL for a particular repository:

# hammer repository update --id XXX --url "https://registry.access.redhat.com"

e.g.

# hammer repository update --id 121 --url "https://registry.access.redhat.com"
