Chapter 1. Notable differences between RHUI 4 installer and RHUI 5


The RHUI 5 installer, while essentially maintaining the same Ansible playbooks as RHUI 5, looks different compared to the previous version of the installer.

  • It is launched as a container image runtime from any RHEL host capable of running containers.
  • It requires --target-host to deploy the RHUA image. Compare this to the current behaviour of the installer where it installs the RHUA on the machine running the installer itself.
  • It requires only one hard parameter, --target-host.
  • It requires some additional command line arguments supplied to the installer to pass the user supplied certificate files. For example, you can supply volume mounts using the -v podman option.
  • It has improved parameter default assignment logic.
