I am using VirtualBox with Centos 7 installed along with open source puppet
master version 3.7.
I also have an agent node set up on another VM (both of them are working
properly). I have tried a few basic manifests and verified their working. I
have experience with Ansible and I am currently trying to get the feel of
Puppet ( Ansible pushes the configuration to its nodes in push mode,
whereas with Puppet the Agent nodes mostly fetch the configurations. I am
sure pull interval or something of the like can be varied).
eth0 of both my VMs are bridged (so that they appear as part of the real
Network 192.168.1.x). I have disabled DHCP on these interfaces so that I
can access them with a Static IP Address.
Now I want to install Foreman on my Puppet Master VM because I want to
provision an Operating System (another CentOS 7 VM) in VirtualBox.
What interfaces and settings would I need to do this. Any guide or
introduction would be much appreciated.
I'm afraid we don't support VirtualBox as a Compute Resource provider,
so there's no way to have Foreman create VirtualBox VMs automatically.
The best you could do would be to spin up machines manually and then
connect them as effectively bare-metal machnes to Foreman once they're
booted up (the easiest way would be to simply run Puppet on the new
machine and Foreman should auto create a new host for you).

Thank You for that vital information Greg.
Right now I don't have any rack/blade servers free for bare-metal
provisioning. How about VMWare Workstation as an option ?
Once provisioned, I want to install OpenStack modules (using Stack Forge)
on the recently provisioned nodes and after that I want to configure the
OpenStack Setup to provide High Availability.
It is all a little far fetched at the moment but right now I am just
looking into installing an OS on my nodes
Cheers
Hi,
You can first :
Create the host in foreman, and grab the generic boot disk.
After that you can create a VM in virtualbox and configure it to boot on
the iso you download previously.
The VM should provision itself on boot.

You can start here : https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_bootdisk
You only need to create VM by hand. Foreman takes care of provisionning the
OS.

For VmWare, it depends if you use vcenter + esxi server or only esxi
server. With vcenter you can do everything in foreman. With only esxi you
have some tricks to do before.
If by vmware you mean Vmware workstation, yes, it will be the same process.
