Setting Up the Client Host

Once the CIQ Depot Client has been installed, you must register the host with the core CIQ Depot services. CIQ will provide you with the [USER STRING] and the [USER TOKEN] to use for this step.

You can do this with the following command:

sudo depot login -u [USER STRING] -t [USER TOKEN]

Note: the [USER STRING] and [USER TOKEN] are not secure credentials, nor do they need to be. These tokens are persisted in clear text on the host system in multiple locations as part of the configuration of DNF, YUM, APT, Rsync, and other processes. The goal is to provide a gateway to access distributable packages, not to be a secure vault.

Enabling dnf repositories

Products are a group of repositories, and each repository can have different system requirements. To list available products, run:

sudo depot list

This will list available products, you can enable a specific product by running:

sudo depot enable PRODUCT_ID
