Managed host by Foreman but not puppetized, how?

Support
1

I'm figuring out a way how to create a host which is not puppetized or
preseed by Foreman.

I want to be able to change DHCP on proxies and DNS on proxies through
foreman, so I need some sort of Unmanaged Host with the possibility to
change hostname and IP.

Something like here:

Ohad has written some nice DHCP tool, but I'm unable to find a save button
there: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_dhcp_browser

Are there people doing something like this ? For now it seems that I need
to create a host and set it on "unmanaged" after creation… but this is
not ideal…

"Managed" is meant in a manner of Foreman manages
dhcp/provisioning/puppet/ etc. for this host.

You don't need to set up a Puppet master. Simply add create an
environment in Foreman and don't specify Puppet CA/ Master when creating
the host.

I have custom preseed/ ipxe templates to setup my hosts and configure
them with SaltStack.

I'm not using a single line of Puppet code here, except when using the
foreman-installer in

We need to get this integrated. Please submit patches! :slight_smile:

I've extended the preseed templates (besides I use SaltStack within my
templates):

Hope these are fine.

Best regards,
