How to update the SSR repository?

Symptoms


Plugins are not available in the conductor UI.



Solution

 

This could be a repository issue where SSR is unable to fetch:

 

Run below after switching to the root user:

 

install128t repo list

install128t repo authenticate -u <username> -t <password> 

install128t repo enable alpha beta

dnf clean all

dnf -v makecache

install128t repo list

 

Username/Password (tokens) that you use to download the SSR file from https://software.128technology.com/

 

If you get an error below after running 'dnf -v makecache', then comment below line in  /etc/yum.repos.d/128tech-release.repo file:

 

 #mirrorlist=https://mirrors.128technology.com/repo/Release/Mirrors/CentOS/$releasever/$basearch/mirror-list.html
