Foreman 0.1-4 is out

Support
1

Hello All,

Its been a while since last release… so I'm happy to announce the next
stable release of Foreman (0.1-4):

Main new features include:

  • host report graphs, this hopefully removes the need for the RRD graphs.
  • support for customized run interval
  • support to browse and filter hosts based on facts
  • extlookup variables store (can replace extlookup csv files)
  • support to trigger puppetrun from the web interface
  • added state to query interface (e.g. get all hosts which are not
    running puppet)
  • Summary Email Supports facts or environment restrictions
  • upgraded rails to 2.3.5 (mostly because of security patches)

As usual, many bugs were fixed - many thanks to all reporters, and those of
you who keep on sending patches :slight_smile:

For a complete change log, please visit
http://theforeman.org/projects/changelog/foreman#0.1-4

Note that now there is also a foreman* users group* (
http://groups.google.com.sg/group/foreman-users) and an *IRC *channel
#theforeman on freenode

If you already have Foreman installed, make sure you go through
http://theforeman.org/wiki/foreman/Upgrade_instructions.

latest version can be fetched from here -
http://theforeman.org/attachments/download/60/foreman-0.1-4.tar.bz2

Note - because of rails upgrade you now require rack 1.0.1 gem
e.g.: gem install rack -v 1.0.1 (as foreman user)

Hi Simon,

http clones are not that stable with github, can you try with git://
instead?

Hi.

I actually did the following:

  1. In the previous version, I installed the foreman via Puppet plugin.
    I actually still not sure how it works :frowning: and will appreciate some
    explanation. I mean, there was no new Foreman explanation or anything like
    that - just some settings was adjusted.
    Is this how it supposed to work - the main git will be used, instead of
    deploying the full Foreman?

  2. Then yesterday, and I did git pull/submodule stuff.

  3. Then I launched the foreman server script.

I actually don't have anything of value in the DB, as I didn't start using
it yet in production, so if there is a quick way to re-create it, it would
be fine.

Thanks.
