Hi,
when I installed foreman I thought it installed Katello too. Now I’m reading from Katello manual the installation on existing environment is not supported.
Is there a way to integrate Katello into foreman without reinstalling the whole environment?
Thanks,
Fabio
For a long time the general consensus has been that technically it should be possible but it’s largely untested. @Daniel_Lobato did try this earlier this week. He made some notes.
thanks @ekohl.
I tried to install as smart proxy but now I’m encountering an issue when running:
foreman-proxy-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn “myproxy.example.com”
–certs-tar “~/myproxy.example.com-certs.tar”
that’s the output:
Installing Done [100%] […]
Something went wrong! Check the log for ERROR-level output
The full log is at /var/log/foreman-proxy-certs-generate.log
Do you have the full log available?
Yes, but before uploading just a simple question (and I’m sorry for that but I never used foreman before): installing katello as smart proxy is like a plugin for foreman or, anyway, I still need to install katello package?
Hi,
I followed, again, the guide and I tried to run the command
foreman-installer --scenario katello
the scripts return me an error:

at this point I don’t know if it’s better to perform a katello standalone installation or not. In that way is there a way to orchestrate through foreman?
I’m in a stuck and I force katello installation over foreman… I need both in my environment, so what’s the best way to install them in order to work together?
Thanks!
Installing Katello initially is the best, most tested way. We are working on supporting installing over existing Foreman installs, but that path may not be there yet.
i am getting the below error while installing smart proxy for externat puppet master. Also can any one share the required options for external puppet masters for centrally located katello server which is also act as central ca authority for all masters.
