Problem:
Iam trying to upgrade foreman from 3.1 to 3.7 version.
The Proxy version and core version of foreman does not match.
the Proxy version is 3.7
Core version is 3.1.2.
Can I Upgrade direclty from 3.1 to 3.7???
We don’t test this explicitly, so it’s safer to go each version by version (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc up to 3.7).
But if you do want to try out, please do, as long as it’s on EL8 it could work.
I upgraded the foreman using the manual. But in the web interface its showing the old foreman version.
Can you please give me a guide on foreman upgrade.
Thank you.
Well, the documentation is the guide. So if you followed that…
What OS are you running? What are the exact steps you performed for the upgrade?
Iam running Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS.
- I updated the foreman repository /etc/apt/source.list.d/foreman.list
- stopped the foreman services
- Updated the repository using apt update
- Updated the ruby and foreman packages apt-get --only-upgrade install ruby* foreman*
- foreman-rake db:migrate
- foreman-rake db:seed
- foreman-rake tmp:cache:clear
- foreman-rake db:sessions:clear
- foreman-installer --noop --verbose
- foreman-installer
During foreman-installer there was no error.
These are the steps performed for upgrade.
Ok, cool. Can you show me the output of the following commands please?
apt policyapt policy foremandpkg -l | grep foremansystemctl status foreman
These are the following output of the following commands.

Thanks!
Couple of observations that explain your current situation:
This indicates (if the output is not cut of or anything) that the only remote repository apt knows is the Puppet one. Which in turn means there is no repository you would be getting Foreman (or Ubuntu!) updates from.
Can you you show the output of grep -r "" /etc/apt/sources.list*?
3.1.2 is the only Foreman version known to apt right now, so no update possible.
This is a scratch build, that should not exist in a release repository. I wonder where this comes from?
Given this is the only 3.7 package, it must have came to the system by some other means than the regular update process.
The output of grep -r "" /etc/apt/sources.list* are as follows

These are the results can you show me the steps to update the foreman repository in apt??
Thank you…
Can anyone Help me in this topic.
I am desperate…
Thank you.
So it looks like you just don’t have any repos for Foreman defined right now.
And without the repos, you won’t be getting any updates.
Can you please ensure you have a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list with the right content as described in the upgrade docs:
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ bullseye 3.7
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins 3.7
and you have the signing key present:
# wget https://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/foreman.asc
after that, please run apt update and post the output here so we can check if it pulls down the repository metadata correctly and everything
