Thank you for great product. I've been using it for 3 month now… But I
still have some questions. Is there any 'best practice' guide that
describes how to utilize forge modules?
For now I've selected path of creating wrapper classes that uses these
modules. In case if I use raw modules such as apache it's very hard to
configure host for desired task. Configuration becomes too distributed
across multiple parameters.
Or maybe It's better to create foreman orientated modules from scratch?
What are your suggestions?
I don't think there is a best practice with forge modules yet, but from
what I've seen of Puppet 4.0 (or whatever they will call it) it appears
that the Enterprise version is moving MUCH closer to the style of
management we get from theforeman. I agree, right now, not many forge
modules have full configuration from smart parameters/values and i would
love to see more community discussion about what this means for the future.
Some extend the module with a wrapper to include values, others edit them
and some people may just fork them locally and hack them up.

Just curious, what is needed other than configuring parameters to set up a
host? Are there just too many that it gets tedious to configure - in that
case what's the proposed solution? Would a plugin serving preconfigured
hostgroups for some modules help?
