Problem:

.
tried now installation of discovery plugin with automatic image installation:
foreman-installer --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery --foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery-install-images=true

This failed for downloading

ERROR is:

Hello and welcome!

I will let @ekohl to comment on the installer issue, but the workaround is to download the tar file manually to the location: /var/lib/tftpboot/boot/fdi-image-latest.tar and then re-run the installer and it will continue from there.

This is https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10365. Should be fixed in 6.15.0 but I don’t know when that’ll be released. For now I’d suggest the workaround from @lzap.
