Puppet modules for managing Foreman

Installs Foreman as a standalone application or using apache passenger.

Installs Foreman Proxy

May install an example puppet master setup using passenger as well, including the tweaks required for foreman.

Installation

Stable release

Releases of foreman-installer are made via RPM and deb packages and are published via the normal Foreman repositories.

See the manual and quickstart guide available at theforeman.org.

Using GIT

git clone --recursive git://github.com/theforeman/foreman-installer.git -b develop

Requirements

if you are using RHEL, EPEL repo must be enabled http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

if you are using Debian (or Ubuntu), see the additional notes in README.debian

The Puppet Labs repositories may optionally be enabled for newer versions of Puppet than are available in base OS repos.

Setup

Please review the "answers" or setup file: /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-answers.yaml. This file allows you to override any of the default parameters (as specified in <module>/manifests/params.pp)

Once you are fine with your answer file, install it with this command:

foreman-installer

or if you prefer interactive mode

foreman-installer -i

The answer file is a yaml format. For a module just using the defaults, simply put "modulename: true" to include, or false to exclude. For a module which you wish to override any defaults, it becomes a hash, with each overridden parameter as a key-value pair.

A few sample files now follow:

All-in-one installation:

---
foreman: true
puppet:
  server: true
foreman_proxy: true

Just Foreman on its own:

---
foreman: true
puppet: false
foreman_proxy: false

Foreman and Foreman-Proxy:

---
foreman: true
puppet: false
foreman_proxy: true

Puppetmaster with Git and Proxy:

---
foreman: false
puppet:
  server: true
  server_git_repo: true
foreman_proxy: true

Foreman & proxy with a different username:

---
foreman:
  user: 'myforeman'
puppet: false
foreman_proxy:
  user: 'myproxy'

Extras

If you just want to include the relavant bits to run on your puppet master you may

include foreman::params, foreman::config::enc, foreman::config::reports
