Is anyone running Foreman in production in a container? I'm working on a
new installation and I'd much rather get it running in a container than on
a VM.
I see some containers on Docker hub (there's a foreman nightly build https://hub.docker.com/r/foreman/foreman/ ) but it looks mostly abandoned
because last push was a year ago.
It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult if I put postgres on an
external host and opened the correct ports to the container.
Anyone already doing this and have an example I can build from or someone
have thoughts on components that may be hard to containerize?

I tried one few years ago (https://github.com/lzap/foreman-docker) just
to get familiar with Docker. When I found how it works (and its
weaknesses), I abandoned my effort. I personally don't like their idea
and the tool itself, a container should have been just a compressed
image (squashfs or tarball) from the day one. The git-like history is
absurd idea. Sorry for the out-of-topic
I know someone else from the team tried some time ago as well. That
effort went little further, I assume.
Has this gotten any further traction or consideration?
Just wondering if it was abandoned or anyone has done more with this?

Even though you said production, I think you might still be interested to
know that we have toyed with the idea of Foreman/Katello in containers here
[1]. I believe it works with some caveats (documented in the readme there).
