[katello] State of the katello-installer

I promised that I'd send out an update at the end of today with the
state of the Katello installation routine.

We have a big PR we have tested with various scratch/hand built RPMs:

https://github.com/Katello/katello-installer/pull/18

that we are waiting to get merged. With that code and a lot of work
over the last few weeks you can successfully use the new installer to:

  • get Katello and Foreman installed
  • all services running
  • log into the webui
  • hammer-cli list users and auth to the API
  • view new unified navigation with Foreman and Katello

There are a bunch of things broken but it is a great step forward.
Install instructions will follow when the nightly RPM builds land
sometime tomorrow.

Great!

Stupid questions from me:

  1. Does this use the upstream modules so that we only have to maintain
    them once?

  2. Is node-installer just another installer using he same modules?

I am sure I will move more later :slight_smile:

Each module is maintained in it's own repository and brought together to
form the installer similar to the Foreman installer.

Node-installer and the katello-installer are now one in the same. One
repository, re-named to katello-installer and includes both what is needed
to install Katello+Foreman and nodes.
