Setting custom repo directories for installer

[pineapplebun]

Problem:

I have come across a similar discussion but the arguments passed are no longer supported in the recent versions of foreman-installer.

Foreman Installer - is there a simple way to stop it changing the repos?

Hi, I set my system up to us the epel, puppet & foreman repos. I do a yum install puppet and it installs ok including some updates etc. from epel.

For future reference, we regard these parameters as advanced since most users don’t need them. To avoid overwhelming the user, there is --help to show common parameters, but there is also --full-help to show all of them (I recommend paging it via less, it’s long). There you should find --foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible-manage-runner-repo which you can set to false. AFAIK it’s the only repo we do manage.
