cyrus_mc: it means that either your vmware setup lacks of clusters, or that you didnt provide the cluster id (directly or via compute profile)

ohadlevy: clusters are there. The compute profile shows the cluster (there is only one). I just tried to edit and then save (with no changes) and then it worked.

ohadlevy: Thanks!

kind of a bug in my opinioin. It shows the cluster set correctly (this compute profile was created via the API) but apparently it isn't

ohadlevy: looking at the compute attributes API, I don't see a parameter I can pass it to explicitly set the cluster

assuming it would be under vm_attrs hash?

cyrus_mc: afair its a hash you pass

yeah

ohadlevy: do you know the exact key name to use? or how I might find that

hi guys, can anyone confirm whether https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/commit/33... has made it into 1.8(.2)?

it's the "plaintext encryption method" feature, for use with non-linux os (ahem, windows)

NuxRo: if you open that link, you would see htr branches its merged in

NuxRo: and it looks like its in 1.9 only

ok :(

thanks

ohadlevy: I just passed in vm_attrs['cluster'] = CLUSTER-NAME and that worked

cyrus_mc: kk :)

ohadlevy: documentation lacks on this a bit .. never fully spells out all that attributes available in certain hashes

ohadlevy: :D

always good the see the foreman's father in here

cyrus_mc: i think the api docs in the website are lacking, and were not generated correctly it is documented afair if you go to /apidoc on your foreman instance

*hoping

ohadlevy: no vacation ?

ohadlevy: did I hear you say that there were videos that talk about plugin development?

jb: there are on you tube

jb: its a good question, eLobato had a talk on it, but I cant find the slides

okey

thomasmckay: Was the data I provided for that subscription issue enough for you to see what happened?

blah, my lack of knowledge for rails is becoming annoying.

jb: http://railsforzombies.org/ taught me

thanks :)

I have a feeling that what I'm doing is super simple, but I'm just too stupid to make it work :)

jb: what are you trying to do?

sec.

stbenjam: https://github.com/joshuabaird/foreman_noenv/bl...

stbenjam: in this initial test, I'm just trying to remove 'environment' from the ENC output for 'test01.dev.local'

stbenjam: I loaded the module in my engine.rb (I think).

jb: it should be alias_method_chain :info, :env

ok, something happened, but it busted the YAML output, and removed everything but " --- produciton \n ..."

jb: and yea, delete() returns the item deleted, not the hash

ah, ok.

jb: rails has a handy thing, you could do info_without_env.except('environment')

ah, ha. except!

that worked.

stbenjam: thanks!

so now, I have a pointless plugin with hosts hardcoded :) guess I need to figure out how to actually present this option to users for each host.

jb: simplest would be to check for a host parameter

jb: fancier would be to add a boolean database column, and override the host view to add a checkbox

yeah, I figured a param would be the easiest.

a database column/form-field would be prettier I guess.

stbenjam: do you know of any examples that use a param for something like this?

gkoch: sorry, i will take a look at that tomorrow

thomasmckay: no problem. thanks.

jb: not that i know of, i think most would go the database route

ok, maybe I should just give that a go.

I think I saw a few plugins that at least show you how to override the host view.

sounds like a more difficult option, but probably the right way to do it.

the DB migration is easy enough.

I'm not able to add a smart proxy to foreman - hosted on the same server, new install, no cert errors

"Unable to communicate with the proxy: ERF12-2530 [ProxyAPI::ProxyException]: Unable to detect features ([Errno::EHOSTUNREACH]: No route to host - connect(2)) for proxy"

Krazypoloc: ERF12-2530 has a wiki page - see http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/ERF...

Thanks nudnik I'll walk through this

stbenjam: so, I have the override and stuff in place, but I'm a bit confused on where I actually update the database?

stbenjam: I also have the db migration to add a column to the 'hosts' table.

jb: you'd have to run db:migrate

stbenjam: to update the schema, right?

yea

stbenjam: I'm referring to actually updating the field if the user checks the box, etc.

jb: oh, the controller should handle that automatically as long as the checkbox has the field name in it

oh, hm

Krazypoloc: "No route to host" is quite telling...

ugh. nothing working for me with content views.

bye bye, day. :(

I hate sqllite.

Yeah that troubleshooting article didn't help

I can dig the hostname and ping it from the host

stbenjam: ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError in HostsController#update - "unknown attribute: noenv"

stbenjam: is that telling me the database column does not exist?

And if I hit https://FQDN/features my proxy log doesn't throw any errors and it displays the features page as it should

Krazypoloc: can you refresh that proxy?

Or https://FQDN:8443/features that is

Cycle the service?

Krazypoloc: in foreman on the smart proxy page

Fresh install, it wouldn't even add initially with foreman-installer

Nor will it add manually

Krazypoloc: some IP/name resolving issue?

I can dig and ping the same dns name from the host

Krazypoloc: on the foreman host, telnet to the fqdn of the proxy port 8443

I also tried https://127.0.0.1:8443

They are on the same box

Krazypoloc: please try it :)

Sure

jb: yea, i think so. did you restart rails after migrating? for your https://github.com/joshuabaird/foreman_noenv/bl..., you might want to just use the helper -> https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/deve...

stbenjam: yeah, I did a 'rake db:migrate' in my foreman directory.

stbenjam: I'm assuming that should work given the way I configured my db/migrate?

stbenjam: ah ok, I'll check out the helper.

jb: yea should do

is the checkbox_f helper a foreman specific thing?
