Hi,
we already have a productive Puppet Server (4) running on another machine.
Is there a way to use Foreman with this existing Puppet Server and if yes how is it possible? The manual is a little bit difuse on that topic.
Greetings

When we looked at the scenario guide at
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.13/index.html#3.2.3InstallationScenarios
towards the bottom it explains how to create a separate foreman with the
installer.
foreman-installer
–puppet-server=false
–foreman-proxy-puppet=false
–foreman-proxy-puppetca=false
Then on your current puppet master
foreman-installer -v \
–no-enable-foreman \
–no-enable-foreman-cli \
–no-enable-foreman-plugin-bootdisk \
–no-enable-foreman-plugin-setup \
–enable-puppet \
–puppet-server-ca=false \ if this does not have ca services**
–puppet-server-foreman-url=https://foreman.com \
–enable-foreman-proxy \
–foreman-proxy-puppetca=false \
–foreman-proxy-tftp=false \
–foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url=https://foreman.com \
–foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts=foreman.com \
–foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key=***Copied from you foreman install \
–foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-secret==***Copied from you foreman install \
–puppet-ca-server=ca_server.com
I hope this helps. If I am incorrect please let me know.
Have a great day.

Hi Mr. McMahan,
thank you for the answer. I'll try it out.
I have tried the interactive version
foreman-installier -i
Is there somewhere a mapping of the command line options with the interactive options or where do I have to check it in the scripts?
Greetings and thanks,
Tobias

Hi,
thanks for the information.
I am wondering if it makes sense to move the Puppet CA also to the external Puppet Server. Do I even need a puppet instalation at all on the Foreman server?
Background is we are already using a Puppet Server and I don't want to use a second one without having a reason to do so (e.g. Foreman requires it).
I have read in the documentation but unfortunatelly the documentation is more or less vague how Foreman is connected to puppet. I am often thinking 'why is that so' and 'why isn't there more deeper information to read'.
Greetings
Tobias

The command line options are in the form "–MODULE-PARAMETER", so
–puppet-server is the module 'puppet' (first menu), parameter 'server'
(second menu), and --foreman-proxy-puppet is in the 'foreman_proxy'
module, 'puppet' parameter.
