Problem:
I am trying to create my first proxy on different subnet from my primary foreman install. Eventually I want it to manage DHCP and TFTP for that subnet so I can provision additional servers there. In order to setup the initial server, I am trying to use the bootdisk plugin but I’m running into an issue.
If I use the built in Centos 8 Install Media, it works fine. I would like to use RHEL for my infrastructure since it’s better supported and I have the free Developers subscription for my use at home. The problem is that the free subscription doesnt include rights to use the katello subscription so it doesnt integrate as designed. I instead had to download the iso, share it out as an nfs export, and create a custom install media. I have no problems installing RHEL when I TFTP boot a server on the current subnet.
When I try to use my nfs exported rhel iso as the install media for the bootdisk, I start getting internal server errors. It appears that the bootdisk plugin is only looking for an http server. I dont see any documentation in the plugin README about it only working for http sources.
Error Message displayed :
Oops, we’re sorry but something went wrong Failed to open TCP connection to nfs-1.app.mydomain:80 (Connection refused - connect(2) for “nfs-1.app.mydomain” port 80)
Expected outcome:
Bootdisk creates an ISO using nfs exported
