Is this your first installation? I highly recommend to follow the docs and start with a simple installation and then later add additional plugins. If you follow the docs you wouldn’t break it to start with. --no-enable-foreman-proxy is definitively never mentioned in any katello server docs and it absolutely doesn’t make any sense, in particular if you even add foreman-proxy options, too.
Follow the docs. You’ll need the standard options, certs, and for the database. Add the rest later, if you really need, one by one.
And as the error message tells you at the end:
The log file should show why it cannot seed the database or what failed exactly.
Yes, that is expected. That’s one of the problems if you start installing with so many options: all your previous options are saved and remembered. Some configuration has already been applied. With –no-enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup you only tell the installer not to use the default-hostgroup plugin configuration module, i.e. it does not consider it and doesn’t make any changes to that part, but any configuration already in the database is still there. --no-enable-... doesn’t undo everything the enable option did before.
The safest way would be to start over on a new system with a fresh os installation, only using the absolutely necessary configuration options and later add plugins one by one… Otherwise you make the whole thing overly complicated.
@evgeni Any timeline for the patch so that I can use ‘–enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup’?
Also want to test couple of options.
–enable-foreman-plugin-memcache
–enable-foreman-plugin-discovery
Will it work if I just run below command or do I have to install again from scratch?
foreman-installer --scenario katello --enable-foreman-plugin-memcache --enable-foreman-plugin-discovery
There is no need to reinstall Foreman/Katello again. You can install plug-ins such as discovery later. See Configuring the Discovery Service in Provisioning Hosts guide.
I was able to install couple of plugins. installed them one by one.
–enable-foreman-plugin-discovery
–enable-foreman-plugin-default-hostgroup
However, getting errors when I ran below.
