Subscription Manager for Debian

To use the subscription-manager built by ATIX, add the repository and import the required GPG public key (Fingerprint: CA56 F29E 0006 0B63 D089 0D0F 5BD9 6651 DF50 FFFB) as follows:

Note that the subscription manager only has been built for Debian 11 and Debian 12 on architecture amd64, codename stable, and component main.

Ensure to add the Katello CA to your managed hosts as follows:

wget --no-check-certificate -O katello-rhsm-consumer https://foreman.example.com/pub/katello-rhsm-consumer

/bin/bash -x katello-rhsm-consumer 2< /root/katello-rhsm-consumer.log

You can now run subscription-manager register --org="my-organisation" --name="my-host.example.com" --activationkey="my-activation-key" to subscribe your host to Foreman.
