I'm currently testing foreman, thinking of integrating it with our
current puppet setup and trying to think ahead: what if one day I
would like to migrate from foreman to another solution? or just
rollback to basic puppet setup, with the nodes defined in manifests/
site.pp.
Was wondering if there was any script already lying around somewhere
that could rebuild node definition in puppet code extracting data from
foreman db.
Searched the mailing list a bit but did not find any thread related to
this subject.
Any suggestions as to how to address this question is mostly
welcomed
There aren't any tools to do this as far as I know, as there isn't any
demand. (Seems people migrate to Foreman and really like it.)
However, Foreman has a robust REST API, and writing such a script
should be trivial.
Cheers,
Brian

Apropos REST API: Is the API complete, i mean can all relevant data be
exported and imported with it?

Thanks for the quick reply and confirming what I was suspecting.
Reformating the yaml produced by the REST API is indeed something I
had thought about.
One goal of this enquiry was also to ask if someone had already
designed such a script
Thanks!
Ben.

Since foreman provides data to puppet in a standardize format (ENC), its
trivial to take any ENC output (foreman other otherwise) and either convert
it to another ENC or to a nodes statement.
Foreman actually has the ability to import from another ENC (exactly in the
same way).
Writing such a script should not be a big deal, if you need help, let us
know and I'm sure we can scatch something up.

I am currently working on improving the API and adding documentation.
It should be merged this week.

Good news!
Does this mean the API will be complete with the auto-generated Ruby API
bindings available with Foreman 1.1?
That would be great for semi-automatic pre-configuration of Foreman and of
course backup/restore.

I think that the auto-generated API bindings will be a separate project or
gem. I assume the installer will include this in the 1.1 release, but
can't say for sure.
