I'm just starting to take a look at Spacewalk as a potential solution
for managing an internal cloud of linux servers... this is the
opensource version of Redhat's Satellite. Traditionally its been
hosted on an Oracle database, but they now also support PostgreSQL, but
with this caveat...
PostgreSQL Pre-Requisites
In order to get Spacewalk ro run with PostgreSQL database backend,
you need PostgreSQL 8.4 server installed on the same or different
machine. UsePostgreSQLServerSetup
<https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLServerSetup>as a
guide to get the server installed and setup.
Please note that the functionality of Spacewalk on PostgreSQL is
limited and sooner than later you may hit Internal Server Error.
(from https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall)
not real thrilled with that last line, although I haven't even fired it
up yet to know just how rough it is.
anyways, wondering if anyone in the postgres community is working with
this project to help smooth things out?
