Hello guys
Sorry but I need some help installing foreman for the first time,
reading the docs there are too many option which is good but Im confused
I have a puppet server 5 already running, puppetdb is already running on
the same server also, so I want to install foreman on it, do you know if
the options
given bellow will work? I created a db already called foreman, the user
foreman and the password, I installed foreman 1.15 repo , this
PostgreSQL is the same
used by puppet, any advice on this? should I install a separate engine
like MySQL to use with foreman and leave PostgreSQL alone for puppetdb
usage?
foreman-installer --foreman-db-host=x.x.x.x
--foreman-db-database=foreman --foreman-db-adapter=postgresql
--foreman-db-username=foreman --foreman-db-password=thesecretpassword
--foreman-admin-email=user@domain.com
--foreman-admin-password=SZENhbFNvQCzXH8u
--foreman-admin-username=foremanadmin --puppet-server=false
--puppet-agent=false --foreman-db-manage=false
Thanks
Regards
I agree that the installer is complex and the wealth of options and tweaks
is initially confusing.
If you don't want to install puppet at all you can just pass the --no-enable-puppet option which will fully disable the puppet module within the installer. You also need the --foreman-db-type=postgresql to be present.
Apart from that I think you are probably ok, assuming you want the rest of the defaults.
A better approach may be it initially use the interactive installer (foreman-installer -i), and spend a little time going through the options there, I generally use it to build a foreman-answers.yaml then if I am rebuilding or doing another temporary test server just use that file.

Hi Scott
Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that and see how it goes, and yes, the idea is not to install the whole puppetserver because I have it configured already along with PostgreSQL and puppetdb.
