Installing VSatellites on RHEL, Oracle, and Rocky Linux¶
If you plan to install VSatellites on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Oracle Linux, or Rocky Linux, carefully review the following information.
Special considerations¶
For all RHEL, Oracle, and Rocky installations, VSatellite requires two additional packages to be installed: container-selinux
and k3s-selinux
.
The VSatellite installer installs k3s-selinux
for you automatically. For details about k3s, refer to the k3s documentation.
However, you will need to install the container-selinux
package, which is detailed below.
Install the RPM¶
Before installing the RPM on RHEL, see the RHEL prerequisites below.
To install the RPM, run the following:
yum -y install container-selinux
RHEL prerequisites¶
Before you install the RPM on RHEL, verify the following:
- You must have a valid RedHat subscription
- RHEL has the
container-selinux
package installed:yum list container-selinux
- Verify the list of your yum repositories:
yum repolist all
-
container-selinux
is available on RHEL through a separate repo (which must be enabled)- RHEL 7.x:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
- RHEL 8.x:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-server-extras-rpms
- RHEL 9.x:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-9-server-extras-rpms
NOTE
RHEL 8.x and 9.x cloud-based RHEL VMs commonly utilize a different repository for delivering this package:
- RHEL 8.x:
rhel-8-appstream-rhui-rpms
- RHEL 9.x:
rhel-9-appstream-rhui-rpms
