There’s no real need to make a module for that. The existing modules for subscription manager can take care of registering a system to Foreman.

  1. Configure /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf to point to the foreman server/smartproxy
  2. Run a 2 tasks like:
- name: 'Ensure katello-ca-consumer'
  ansible.builtin.yum:
    name: "http://{{ rhsm_foreman_server }}/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm"
    state: 'present'
    disable_gpg_check: true
  when: rhsm_server_type != 'cdn'

- name: 'Register system'
  community.general.redhat_subscription:
    state: 'present'
    org_id: "{{ rhsm_organization }}"
    activationkey: "{{ rhsm_activation_key }}"
    server_hostname: "{{ rhsm_foreman_server }}"
    force_register: "{{ rhsm_force_register }}"

The role this came from is on github :slight_smile:
