Problem:

The above error shows when deleting the host. This is b/c of the following error:

2022-08-26T16:35:38 [I|app|140e6c8f] Deactivating node in PuppetDB: ------001

I just installed foreman using:
foreman-installer \

--scenario katello \

--enable-certs \

--enable-foreman \

--enable-foreman-cli \

--enable-foreman-cli-ansible \

--enable-foreman-cli-azure \

--enable-foreman-cli-katello \

--enable-foreman-cli-puppet \

--enable-foreman-cli-remote-execution \

--enable-foreman-cli-virt-who-configure \

--enable-foreman-plugin-ansible \

--enable-foreman-plugin-azure \

--enable-foreman-plugin-discovery \

--enable-foreman-plugin-hooks \

--enable-foreman-plugin-openscap \

--enable-foreman-plugin-puppet \

--enable-foreman-plugin-puppetdb \

--enable-foreman-plugin-remote-execution \

--enable-foreman-plugin-rh-cloud --scenario katello \

--enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible \

--enable-foreman-plugin-setup \

--enable-foreman-puppet

I’ve removed everything from the installer that contains puppet +
foreman-installer --puppet-server false --foreman-proxy-puppet false --puppet-server-ca false --foreman-proxy-puppetca false

I sadly still get the error and i’m not sure how to resolve this problem. I’ve found here that puppet isn’t really needed anymore: Foreman-installer --scenario katello does not install puppet-server
But it does seem to cause some issues when deleting a host.

Expected outcome:
Host should be deleted.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
