Problem: After a VM is built it boots, but the puppet service does not run. Systemd tells me, it is not enabled.
There is no journal for Puppet that indicates a problem.
How is that possible? Is there a deployment log I could check?
Expected outcome: Puppet should start (again; it did in past) after VM creation to apply the required configurations.
Foreman and Proxy versions: 2.0
Distribution and version: Installed OS is Ubuntu 18.04 ( not the latest minor release)
Other relevant data:
No updates were applied and no configuration changes (or at least we know of) were done.
As far as I understand the finish template calls the puppet_setup template.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Setting "run-puppet-in-installer" is UNSUPPORTED!
The default mode of operation in Foreman is only to set up Puppet, but to not run it inside the installer environment.
Running Puppet inside the installer can cause various hard to diagnose errors, many of them resulting from the fact that
services are not started inside the installer.
If you are aware of the downsides, you can trigger a Puppet run inside the installer by setting the variable
run-puppet-in-installer to true.
Note, that this is an *unsupported mode of operation* and not supported by Foreman at all. You have been warned!
