  • Disable Modular Filtering in Kickstart Repos

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I'm running into an issue while trying to create a Kickstart ISO with custom content. As described by the MySQL documentation[0], the AppStream mysql module prevents installation of commercial MySQL RPMs and must be disabled. Without disabling it, Kickstart fails with an error like this:

    • package mysql-commercial-server-8.0.19-1.1.el8.x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering

      I want this process to be automated through Kickstart so the resulting system has the correct version of MySQL installed. The only way I can make it work is by extracting the module metadata from the AppStream repo, deleting the mysql module, and then repacking it. It's a very ugly solution and I'm looking for something a little cleaner. Here's what I've tried so far:

    • When specifying the custom repo in the Kickstart file, add --excludepkgs=@mysql to try and disable the module

    • In the Kickstart %pre script, disable the module manually like so:
      dnf --repofrompath AppStream,/run/install/repo/AppStream --nogpgcheck module disable -y mysql

    Is there a way to do this through Kickstart?
