Foreman Proxy not accessing hostss

Problem: I’m on version 3.10 and my current setup is using an image to provision hosts on libvirt. I have dhcp and DNS proxy set up to configure ip and domain names using the libvirt api but somehow, the foreman proxy isn’t connecting to the hosts using ssh

Expected outcome: The proxy is not ssh’ing into the hosts

Foreman and Proxy versions: foreman version 3.10

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:

My memory here is a bit rusty (:eyes: @lstejska), but I think during provisioning SSH always happens from the Foreman Server and never from the Proxy.

@evgeni, you are correct; during image-based provisioning, the SSH connection is established directly from the Foreman instance.

The SSH connection through Smart Proxy is done when the remote job is invoked.

Yes I misunderstood but the actual problem is that foreman is logging into itself (the foreman server ) instead of the hosts ‘VMs’

The vVM’s are on a libvirt network 192.168.122.0/24 and my foreman host is on 192.168.0.6

The libvirt api is connected to foreman and creates dhcp and dns records succesfuly
