Possibly a silly question. Is there a way for foreman to build machines without pxe booting?

Say I had a ubuntu minimal install cd in a vm template?

Hi, I tried to provision some VM with foreman on Digital Ocean but I can't pass the "wait to come online" step. In the logs I got "could not connect to ssh-agent" and I checked on the created VM and "authorized_keys" is empty?

NVM. I set up a proxydhcp server

how can I test my tftp server?

When setting DNS up with MS DNS the dns_tsig_prinicpal should be user/host_smart_proxy_is_on@MY.DOMAIN.COM right?

hi :)

I have a question about using the isc dhcp server with Foreman

Currently I have DHCP listening on a subnet and it gives IP addresses in the range I have specified to all hosts/systems connected to that specific VLAN/subnet when it is setup to use automatic/dhcp

But I would like to change that behavior to just only give addresses to known hosts, aka the hosts configured/managed by Foreman. I had a discussion with our Network guy over here who was not very happy about the current situation

Priyantha: I am not very familiar with that part of foreman, but sound like something that the foreman smart-proxy could do

Priyantha: take a look at http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.9/index.html#4....

combatdud3: sounds right

thx tbrisker :)

Can't find it yet, but looking into it now

Priyantha: remove the range from dhcpd's subnet config

ah that should do it already Dominic ? :)

is my current config

indeed

okay thx

will test it now:)

great stuff it works :)

thx Dominic !

Dominic: Hi, do you have any experience in provisioning on Compute Resource like Digital Ocean :)

I can't answer your question, if that's what you mean

Dominic: thank anyway :D

samidarko: what image are you using? I just created a Ubuntu 14.04 box on DO and it worked fine

eLobato: I'm using Debian 8 x64

eLobato: are you using your own image or one of DO's?

samidarko: one of do's

eLobato: btw I followed you last advise, created a VM and checked authorized_key for root and it was an empty file

samidarko: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with foreman's default user_data template

eLobato: I'm not using user_date template that's maybe why

eLobato: In Compute Resource => your image = do you check User data?

samidarko: yes

samidarko: you also need to associate your operating system in Foreman with the user data template

eLobato: thanks for helping me out :)

eLobato: there is also a couple of options in interface and not sure if they should be checked or not? like managed, primary and provision? I'm supposed only primary should be?

samidarko: I uncheck just managed as I don't have a smart-proxy on DO

samidarko: you need provision so that when the interface is up the user_data gets sshed

eLobato: I provisioned a new VM but still in build mode, I'm debugging it

eLobato: but I didn't have the same problem than before which is already good :)

samidarko: awesome. use DO's vnc if you want to see if the user_data was transferred properly
