External Libraries for SCS
Three external libraries to install SCS are:
...
Podman 3.0.1 - Required for HTTP support. Version 3.0.1 is the source from the Kubic repo maintained by SUSE.
...
Minimal Requirements and Needs
Requirement | Need |
|---|---|
CentOS/RHEL | RHEL/CentOS 7 or RHEL/Rocky Linux 8. See Setup RHEL/CentOS for SCS. |
Offline repository | Creating an offline repository of RPM dependencies is required to install SCS on VMs with air-gapped network. |
io_pause container image | k8s.gcr.io_pause:3.2 is a container and the offline copy is required to hold the network namespace for the |
...
Bash Autocompletion - Required for tabbing on scsctl. It is sourced from the EPEL repository for CentOS.
Set up the Environment
Offline installation for CentOS requires RPMs and dependencies for all those packages on a repository. This is a real challenge in air-gapped networks or networks with no internet access, so the best way is to create a local offline repository.
Here are the minimal installation requirements to start with:
Install a VM with CentOS 7.9 (or the previous version) and the “Minimal Server” profile.
Run
yumto resolve dependencies for a package.Need CentOS 7 server with internet access and some disk space to pull repo files.
SCS Dependencies
Install a set of packages to download RPMs and dependencies then create a repository. To pull, RPMs and their dependencies use a yum-plugin called downloadonly. To create the repository for offline usage, we use a tool called createrepo.
Steps to check SCS dependencies
Install the yum-downloadonly plugin
yum -y install yum-plugin-downloadonly
By default, this package comes in large installations.Create a directory for download packages.
mkdir packagesQuery RPM’s dependencies. First, install SCS and then query the RPM for dependencies.
rpm -qpR swarm-scs-{version}.x86_64.rpm
Result is:
...
glibc >= 2.17
bash-completion
bash-completion-extras
dhcp
python3
iproute
chrony
NetworkManager
rsyslog
logrotate
cronie
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
Download SCS Dependencies
Pull the following from the above list to download SCS and RPM’s dependencies:

yum -y install --downloadonly --downloaddir=packages/ python3

Download Podman 3.0.1 Repo
To pull the correct version and its dependencies, enable the Kubic repository.
Download Kubic repo from SUSE.
Code Block language bash cd /etc/yum.repo.d/ curl -L -o /etc/yum.repos.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/CentOS_7/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.repoDownload Podman packages and dependencies.
yum -y install --downloadonly --downloaddir=packages/ podman
