I'd urge you to take a look at the Katello project (http://www.katello.org/)
as it is a plugin designed to integrate with Foreman to provide local
content management alongside the power of Foreman.

Do you have the sample of your custom Puppet module or maybe you can share
the manifest/code to the group.

As of today, you install Katello outside of the normal Foreman installation
method. While it is a plugin, it requires it's own installation and setup
(we are working on making it work like a traditional plugin that you can
add to an existing Foreman). Note that the Katello installation setups and
fully configures a Foreman as Katello depends on that to run. Essentially,
when you install Katello you get Katello + Foreman together as a single
application.

It's not so clear to me, as of now I have Forman Server(1.6.2) + Katello

I just don't get how I can make them work together as single application.

Some other users may be able to chime as there have been those with
existing Foreman servers that have simply used both I believe. You could
stand up a Foreman/Katello and then migrate your Foreman data over from
your existing setup to then use a single Foreman/Katello instance.
To be clear, when you install Katello you get Foreman because Foreman is
the application and Katello is a plugin that adds content management
capabilities. The seutp of Katello at present just requires a separate
installation procedure that creates a fresh instance of Foreman.

Thanks Danilo, This looks interesting and I am going to give this a try.
However, it doesn't list OpenSuse support but i don't think that would be a
problem as long as i am using Mrepo for just hosting my repos for Foreman.
Another question,
Most of my developers want specific packages installed when installing the
OS (dev packages, kde for GUI and virtualization packages) . When I use
foreman it just install the Core OS from the repo.
i think the way to do this is to create puppet modules or Docker container
and for each app or feature and install it on the provisioned host. I am
very new to puppet or docker so not sure if there is a more direct way
What i mean is everytime a provision a host it install all the required app
and modules by default
Have you considered adding another step at the Provisioning template to
install this packages?

Gagan,
You can add these packages in Provisioning template, I can send you example
if you want.

If you have installed server and you want the same packages in your new
provisioning server you can check your anaconda file, it's located usually
under root folder and take the packages from there:
[root@puppet ~]# pwd
/root
[root@puppet ~]# ll anaconda-ks.cfg
-rw-------. 1 root root 1439 Jul 9 2013 anaconda-ks.cfg

This works perfect. After adding the packages in the template I can have
GUI and other packages installed
As an experiment I am also trying the set up a katello server. Looks like
the latest 2.2 has issues while installing. Also trying on mrepo.
Since I am just starting i can setup katello from scratch
