Thank you for taking the time to read this and I apologize in advanced if
the question is very dumb. I am very very new to Foreman and Puppet and I
just got it installed and configured with Puppet but now I don’t know where
to go from here. I already have a Windows Server 2013 DHCP Server and a
Windows Server 2013 DNS Server so my question is, do I need to configure
DHCP/DNS in Foreman as well? Almost every instruction out there I see
people setting up the “foreman-proxy” but not really sure how that ties in
if I already have both DHCP and DNS servers and I don’t want to impact
anything there. Again I am very very new to Foreman and Puppet and I want
to use this for provisioning but almost all the instructions are telling me
to configure DHCP/DNS and I really don’t want to unless I absolutely have
to.
Thank You
Anthony
If you want Foreman to be aware of DHCP and DNS in your infrastructure,
then you have to install a Smart Proxy in the DHCP/DNS servers. See the
section 'Smart Proxy for DNS, DHCP…' of the manual
http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.9/index.html#3.2.3InstallationScenarios
After you install it, you should configure it - see
http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.9/index.html#4.3.4DHCP
and
http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.9/index.html#4.3.5DNS
I would also recommend installing the plugin foreman_setup -
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_setup , which will find the
network your Foreman host is in, and will give you the right command to
install a smart-proxy in this network.
If you're deploying Windows systems, Wimaging can also be of great help
to you, see https://github.com/kireevco/wimaging
