Hello,
After a long holiday pause, it’s time for our first FPIG meetup in 2026.
When: First Tuesday in February, 03.02.2026, 2 PM.
Where: Online, I’ll share the link before the event starts.
Topics: Open for all, feel free to share whatever you’d like to discuss
I have set up foremen in a disconnected network and trying to use it for provisioning, so far I have only got 2 bring up the default Pxe boot load screen. I would like to discuss how I can set up provisioning in this way without being connected to the network
Cool,
Could you share your setup details, host groups, repositories, and so on? It might help us with the debugging.
can the meeting go back in the foreman calendar if possible, that was really useful to keep local diary in sync
have one foreman server that I use to pick the boot and then install Linux on clients. The foreman server has services enabled TFTP DNS and DHCP. The server is in a disconnected network to where I do not have Internet access so I am looking umm to configured the repositories by myself. I have set up a subnet to hold the host or clients and I have a hose group that contains an activation key and that installation media. The installation media points to the path of a copy of the Linux distribution that we use and is just copied directly from the DVD. The DVD is copied over to a repository and made under a product… I have a content view created that will use a activation key and lists the repository.
When I boot the client it gets a DHCP address, it pulls the default kickstart screen that is provided by the TFTP server, and appears to attempt to pull the image but does not. I think my problem is that I set up the repos incorrectly I had been reading and it looks like there should be a info tree file but I am not exactly sure where to put this file or what information do you put in it through all my readings it is not clear
i got directions on everything except repo setup
FYI, this is config management camp date/time 
Was able to get kick start work the problem was my install media was HTTPS instead of HTTP but the problem is now Linux boots into single user mode not graphical is there any way to change this
I added it to the calendar, at least I see it there. TheForeman

Huh, I missed that. Sadly, I won’t be at the CFGMGMT camp this year, which is why I didn’t notice that.
Are you sure it is single user? It should be multi user just not graphical. If it is the Red Hat osfamily, you need to install the UI you want and run the graphical installer so it defaults to graphical target (or you could change the default target afterwards, but as the other option is already prepared I use it).
So for CentOS Stream 9 as an example you can use the parameter additional-packages with @graphical-server-environment and use_graphical_installer with true.
thank you, that worked
