Problem: I cant see the templates I registered for a particular operating system
I added a template that runs salt-minion setup to an operating system (Ubuntu 18.04) but Foreman can’t find any configured templates for that OS in the Create Host wizard on the Operating system tab.
I tried both the network based and image based provisioning method, but neither do help. I am not sure if the template I created is invalid for some reason, therefore I added it to the end of this post.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 1.24.0-RC2
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Foreman templates 6.0.3
Distribution and version:
Ubuntu 18.04
Other relevant data:
Here’s some details about the template:
Excerpt from the template:
<%#
kind: snippet
name: saltstack_setup
model: ProvisioningTemplate
description: this snippet will configure the Saltstack Minion
snippet: true
%>
<%
etc_path = (@host.operatingsystem.family == 'Freebsd') ? '/usr/local/etc/salt' : '/etc/salt'
bin_path = (@host.operatingsystem.family == 'Freebsd') ? '/usr/local/bin' : '/usr/bin'
%>
<% if @host.operatingsystem.family == 'Debian' -%>
apt-get update
apt-get install -y salt-minion
<% elsif @host.operatingsystem.family == 'Freebsd' -%>
pkg install -y py27-salt
<% elsif @host.operatingsystem.family == 'Redhat' -%>
yum -t -y install salt-minion
<% end -%>
This is the log output when I click the “resolve template” button:
