SmartProxy Install Fails with Discovery

azurepancake · July 24, 2020, 9:43pm

Problem:
I am trying to setup a SmartProxy with the following command:

foreman-installer --scenario foreman-proxy-content                   
--certs-tar-file "/root/proxy.example.org-certs.tar"                  
--foreman-proxy-content-parent-fqdn "foreman.example.org"                   
--foreman-proxy-register-in-foreman "true"                   
--foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url "https://foreman.example.org"                   
--foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts "foreman.example.org"                   
--foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts "proxy.example.org"                  
--foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key "blah" 
--foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-secret "blah"                   
--puppet-server-foreman-url "https:///foreman.example.org"                   
--foreman-proxy-dhcp "false"                   
--enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery

However, I get the below error (taken from " foreman-proxy-content.log"):

If I remove --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery, the install goes fine.

Expected outcome:
I would expect for installation to finish with Discovery enabled.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.12

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
N/A

Distribution and version:
CentOS 7

I think the problem is that I need to run the below first:

foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-discovery

However, that returns error message:

ERROR: Unrecognised option '--enable-foreman-plugin-discovery'

Not sure why it would be missing?

That option needs to be enabled on the foreman server.

Oh, I see. Thank you!

Do I also install the discovery image and setup PXELINUX templates on the Foreman server? Does this stuff get sync’d down to the Smart Proxy?

I’m really new to this, so sorry for all the questions.
