Problem: I would like to get our Foreman installation to the current version, as well as address some SSL certificate issues with Puppet/Foreman (our old cert expired). If the upgrade from our version to the current version is too big of a jump, we can deploy a new server. We only use Foreman for patching and puppet at this time.
Anyone out there with extensive experience in these areas that might be available for a few hours/couple days of consulting time? (for pay, of course)
Foreman and Proxy versions: Foreman Version 1.21.3 / No Proxies Installed
I know at least Netways (Hi @Dirk!), ATIX (Hi @Bernhard_Suttner!) and credativ do consulting for Foreman, so maybe someone of them will look in here or reach out to their respective sales departments.
All three mentioned are Germany based. Not sure in which timezone you are located, but perhaps something to keep in mind.
Last time I did a similar update and some additional work it was about two days work, perhaps doable in one day if nothing goes wrong and depending on required changes.
I am not sure about my schedule as it is managed by my managers and depends on their willingness to fill in my team managing role, but feel free to contact sales@netways.de and I hope they find a time slot that will work.
My 2 cents, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to redesign your Foreman environment using the Ansible modules. That way you’ll be able to ‘just’ roll out a new Foreman server with the same config on a newer version should you desire.
