i’m running Foreman 3.3 in EL 7, trying to upgrade foreman from 3.3 to 3.4.
Not able to do as https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/3.4/el7/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm and https://yum.theforeman.org/katello/4.6/katello/el7/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm are not available, looks like it’s available for EL8.
Is there any document to follow for upgrading OS from EL 7 to 8 and then upgrade foreman 3.3 to 3.4?
Thanks in advance.!
Yes.
While on 3.3, upgrade EL7 to EL8 using the docs: Upgrading and Updating Foreman
Then do a normal 3.3 to 3.4 upgrade.
thank you, should i follow the same document for Smart proxy server running in EL7?
Yes.
Upgrade EL7 to EL8 completed.
Now i’m trying to upgrade foreman from 3.3 to 3.4. Getting an error while run installer.

Tasks: TOP => db:seed => db:load_config => environment
i tried to disable foreman_plugin_default_hostgroup, but getting the same error, hence i restored foreman from backup, and disabled foreman_plugin_default_hostgroup.
Now tried upgrade, getting same error even after disable the plugin.
foreman-installer --help | grep -i Hostgroup
–[no-]enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup Enable ‘foreman_plugin_default_hostgroup’ puppet module (default: false)
= Module foreman_plugin_default_hostgroup:
–foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup-hostgroups An array of hashes of hostgroup names and facts to add to the configuration (current: )
How did you disable it? Removing the package and telling the installer is usually not sufficient, as there are still DB entries of the plugin.
disabled using the installer
foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup
Below done and the upgrade completed successfully.
disabled the plugin using the installer
foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup
I uninstalled rubygem-foreman_default_hostgroup package
ran foreman-rake db:seed
Performed upgrade. Looks good, thanks.
It seems another plugin has been hit by the settings change, see the other thread where other two plugins were identified. There’s no good solution atm.
