Hello,
i googeled so much, but can't find the answer, so hopefully somebody can
tell me, if it is possible to install foreman smart proxy via foreman
puppets. My problem: I provisioned a new ubuntu host via foreman (bootdisk)
in another subnet. Now i would like to install foreman-proxy on this host,
but not via apt. I found foreman-proxy on puppetlabs, i downloaded and
installed it on the foreman server. I deployed the foreman_proxy class on
the target machine, after that I get an error in the reports:
"
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER:
{"message":"Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a
Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function
Call, Permission denied -
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/foreman_cache_data/oauth_consumer_key
"
So my question, is it possible to install/configure foreman-proxy via
foreman/puppet at all? Sorry, I'm total newbie in foreman, and I don't have
a clue, if I configured something wrong (or didn't configured something),
or if it is absolutely not possible to do this via foreman.
If it is not possible, and I can only install the proxy via apt, is there
somewhere a step by step how to? Installation is no problem, but in the
tutorials that I found there are only "configure it for your needs". And
this is not too much information, about the config… 
Thank you!

This is a permissions issue, try running a "chown -R puppet
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/foreman_cache_data" to reclaim the
directory. Later versions of Puppet Server and Foreman should fix this
by separating the cachedir between apply/master mode.

Have you checked the manual? It has a whole section on installation and
configuration - but you do need to know what modules you need it for to
know what to configure (e.g. Puppet, TFTP).
