Hi,
I have created a comprehensive Foreman installation using Ansible, enabling DHCP, DNS, TFTP, and Discovery Image. The only thing you need to modify is the Ansible variable values (if you want!), and that’s it. You can find the tutorial on my GitHub here.
I have been working with RedHat Satellite/Foreman since the 2010s, and I am pleased to share this deployment process. Often, we do not have the time or need to go through extensive documentation just to perform a deployment. In this tutorial, I do not delve into the details of how DNS, DHCP, TFTP, and discovery images work. However, once your environment is set up, you can experiment with it, destroy it, and recreate it as needed. This approach will allow you to challenge yourself by implementing new features and simulating real-world scenarios.

I installed it in a vmware fusion vm with a few very minor tweaks and it worked as advertised! We’ll modify it for our ansible environment. Thank you!
Hey, welcome to the community.
isn’t this like GitHub - theforeman/forklift: Helpful deployment scripts for Foreman and Katello ? there’s a section called Production - Forklift where you can already do what you meant and many other cool stuff.
Hi,
Actually, I see it as different I’ve developed some basic features tailored for both lab environments and real-world scenarios, such as configuring an IP on a specific network interface and adjusting the DNS server, DHCP, and TFTP. While Foreman Forklift offers a broader range of options, it can be challenging to customize, especially for those with limited experience. What I’ve created provides a practically ready-to-use environment, significantly simplifying the initial setup process. ^^
