Troulbe installing foreman-installer with Katello

Support
#1

Problem:
Error when trying to install foreman w/ katello, I installed everything following this documentation:
https://docs.theforeman.org/3.0/Installing_Server_on_Red_Hat/index-katello.html#installing-the-satellite-server-packages_foreman

Everything went smoothly and all repos downloaded, even puppet version should be right. Confused why this isn’t working now since I had it running before for testing. I posted logs below I’d appreciate if someone could help me.

Expected outcome:
Clean install
Foreman and Plugin versions:
Foreman 3.0 & Katello 4.2

Hi @austin299

I checked 2 boxes and see those values blank in mine:

katello:
  candlepin_oauth_key:
  candlepin_oauth_secret:

Did all of the rpms install correctly without any errors? Was the first error from the installer, or did you try to run it multiple times?

@installer team if you want to take a look too.

Yes all the rpm were downloaded without error, following the instructions. as soon as it was all set up I ran the foreman-installer scenario=katello and ran into this error. Where do I find the value of candlepin_oauth_secret? By now I’ve ran it multiple times trying to fix this issue.

#4

One thing to note that did change, is we added a brand new dns to our domain. So I was running a test katello page. I decided to whipe it and create brand new VM with a fresh OS install so the foreman can grab the new hostname and set it up as proxy. I thought it would be faster this way, but now when I do the steps this time, errors are occuring.

#5

The values are located in this file:

/etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/katello-answers.yaml

In that file do you see the new hostname or the old hostname?

Nope don’t see anything for my hostname and no candlepin settings:

Hi @austin299 , it looks like an issue where puppet is failing to load default values from the puppet modules in /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules. That causes a problem because not all necessary values are defined in the answers file ordinarily – the installer instead relies on those lookups of those puppet module defaults in some cases.

We can see from this log string the puppet executable that is being called: RUBYLIB=/usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-6.4.0/lib/kafo/../..//modules: /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet apply --config=/tmp/kafo_installation20210826-2833-1b54llt/puppet.conf

And then the issue Could not get default values, cannot continue.

Could you check please some information about that puppet executable?

# which puppet
# rpm -qf /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet
# rpm -qi $(rpm -qf /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet)

As well as some other information about your installer, so that we can compare to my working fresh install of Katello 4.2:

# scl enable tfm 'gem list' | grep kafo
# rpm -qi foreman-installer

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Well issue has been solved, I installed it on a fresh Centos 8 VM, I think somewhere my VM configurations I had where messing it up. We use kickstarter files to preconfigure our VMs for corporate authentication and other rpms. I think something is conflicting with the solution. I might of also messed up a step somewhere in the process as well. Thanks for the patience and help guys. If you still have a solution for what could be the issue i’d like to hear it in case I have this issue again
