Ubuntu based racadm in a docker container? Also is racadm going away!?

Hi,

 

Could this work or help on the dockerfile? I asked a colleague of mine about it:

 

# Use Ubuntu 20.04 as the base image

FROM ubuntu:20.04

 

# Set environment variable to avoid interactive prompts

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

 

# Update and install required packages

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \

    wget \

    curl \

    sudo \

    libxml2 \

    libxslt1.1 \

    unzip \

    gnupg \

    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

 

# Add Dell's repository and install RACADM

RUN wget -q -O - https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/bootstrap.cgi | bash && \

    apt-get update && \

    apt-get install -y srvadmin-idracadm8 && \

    apt-get clean

 

# Add RACADM to PATH

ENV PATH="/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin:${PATH}"

 

# Default command

CMD ["/bin/bash"]

 

In case a need for any reference for Linux and Github: https://linux.dell.com/

 

 

Unfortunately I tried that.  If you look at the script you linked, it's only for redhat based solutions.

# sets $dist
get_dist_version

if [ "${dist}" = "unknown" ]; then
    echo "Unable to determine that you are running an OS I know about."
    echo "Handled OSs include Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS,"
    echo "Fedora Core and Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and OpenSUSE"
    exit 1
fi

In the end, it was easier to find the redfish api and do custom curl statements than install the tool! 

Also I will say your documentation is a mess.  I only found the right documentation after posting a github issue to a script repo that had the (otherwise undocumented in older api versions) upload SSL Key.
