Just in case you don’t have time to do a full test, but still want to give this a spin, you can try out using out docker image instead 
all is required is docker and docker-compose to get started:
setting up docker / docker-compose
sudo groupadd docker
sudo yum install docker docker-compose
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
sudo service docker start
then, on some directory download:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theforeman/foreman/1.23-stable/docker-compose.yml
edit the file, and change:
diff --git a/docker-compose.yml b/docker-compose.yml
index cfca7a3b0..467acb736 100644
--- a/docker-compose.yml
+++ b/docker-compose.yml

This will download the latest 1.23 stable version, if you want to be more explicit, you can download the RC1 tag directly(use 1.23.0-RC1), for all available tags, you can visit Quay.
then start the environment
docker-compose pull
docker-compose run app bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate
docker-compose run app bundle exec rake db:seed permissions:reset password=changeme
docker-compose up
Happy testing…
