gwmngilfen: no this is not reliable for that what I want. Because the owner can be set to someone else even though by default it uses the logged in user

as i said, a lot of template rendering isn;t handled by a logged in user - for example, with you PXE boot a host, there's no login information there, it's an anonymous call

s/with/when

what are you trying to achieve, perhaps we can help find another way

gwmngilfen: get the logged in username, who triggered the installation of a host within the template

idea behind is that, the users ssh pub key is automatically retrieved via post install, so after the installation only this user via ssh pub key can login

no password logins

gwmngilfen: continue talking tomorrow. Have to leave. But thanks a lot so far

MrBy: sure, i'm interested in chating more about it

we've found some interesting behaviour in foreman v2 API. When doing a PUT, some parameters absence have no effect but others clean the previous values. As an example, calling /api/hosts/:id without environment_id clears the previous value or change it to another one (production in our case)

any info about this?

davidmogar: what version?

dLobatog: 1.11

ehelms: yesterday you helped gkoch start the katello 3.0 upgrade. It ran for about 18 hours before failing. The first significant failure was foreman-rake db:migrate and the upgrade kept on. Then it failed and exited on impot_package_groups. Can we run these steps manually or do we need to rerun the installer?

rimma_: what was teh failure on the migrate step?

does anyone know if there is a way to merge two operating systems? I have windows 6.3 and 2012R2 server. I cant delete either cause they are being used, but I shouldnt have 2 OS's for the same OS

ehelms: I likely got more than you needed -- http://paste.fedoraproject.org/386311/8418146/

or if there is a way to move all from one to the other so I can delete the dupe

rimma_: and yall ran the preupgrade host check?

yes, we did

here is the end of the log - http://paste.fedoraproject.org/386315/14672086/

rimma_: so the migrate issue we saw reportedbut have not been able to reproduce ourselves

rimma_: if you re-run just foreman-rake db:migrate you hit the same issue ?

i would be happy to do that, but wanted to check with you first.

the katello instance is currently down - should it stay down or is it safe to bring it up?

rimma_: keep it down for now, since the upgrade hasn't completed

ehelms: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/386317/20893614/

ehelms: I actually re-ran the db:migrate script earlier. The installer started everything and I stopped it all before re-running. It had the same result

rimma_: gkoch would you be up for running some commands to help debug this?

sure

rimma_: open a console 'foreman-rake console'

ok

rimma_: once its up, run Katello::System.all.select { |system| system.foreman_host.nil? }

rimma_: actually: systems = Katello::System.all.select { |system| system.foreman_host.nil? }

so we capture the output into a variable

Hello, I want to use foreman to host software repo's for a closed network. I believe that pulp is the way to do this, but I'm struggling to find documentation on how to configure the repositories and configure the hosts to use them. Where should I be looking?

rimma_: what is the value of systems.length?

rimma_: and the value of systems.select { |system| system.class.name == 'Katello::Hypervisor' }.length

ehelms: 30

ehelms: is that the same as systems.length?

ehelms: systems.length is 78

rimma_: the 30 is the query I just gave you containing Hypervisor?

yes

rimma_: k, give me a few minutes to look over some code

thanks

rimma_: in theory, prior migrations shouldn't have ended up with systems in this state

that doesn't seem promising

hi, iam trying to install foreman and puppet with format but i want to install them on custom directory (for exemple on /home), do you know if it's possible ?

rimma_: would be able to generate and email me a foreman-debug ?

i will do it

bacula811: only from source, which I'd only recommend if you're familiar with their full configuration by hand

ok thanks Dominic, I see severals configuration options on the foreman manuel. I'll try and hope not to forget arguments :p

morgen

Guten morgen, blahblahblah

how goes it to you

Trying to see if I can find some simple how-tos for foreman so I can better understand how all the moving parts work with each other.

You?

eh

ok i suppose.. documenting

Narolad: feel free to ask away if you can't make sense of something

gwmngilfen: yeah, that'd be really helpful :)

i've been talking about it for over a year

I've got 13 pages of bash cli instructions for installing this

basically copy/paste into a shell to make it work with centos 7.2

that sounds like a lot ;)

including all the SELinux context, iptables, etc... changes needed

Part of my issue is just trying to bounce around a few different things. I need to figure out the best way to deploy smart-proxies on windows. Looks like I need to compile the ruby module but not certain if I need to compile it on each host or not.

yeah, but this is to make it work in a non-internet connected system

:)

Also trying to see about adding existing hosts but don't see where I can change the deployment from Bare Metal to "Unmanaged"

Aaand, I'd like to add VMware as a compute resource, but not sure where to populate providers yet.

easiest way to add unmanaged hosts is just to run puppet on them

when foreman gets the facts or reports from them, it'll create an unmanaged host

Puppet should be running every 30 minutes by default though.

this is assuming you have reporting and/or the enc set up ofc

Which I may not....let's check out that rabbit hole...

lemme find you a really short video ;)

Sure!

I do really like how most pages have direct links to documentation though.

Narolad: this is from a while back, but it's still accurate - https://youtu.be/2dwyzPpFJYQ?t=269

you'll see a puppet agent run, followed by the host showing up in the Host index

that's from a default installer run, which sets up both the ENC and reporting, but you only need one of those to enable auto-creation of hosts

Ahh, the reporting sent me down the right path I think!

Need to configure it on the puppet master.

i need to understand how puppet works

rimma_: please let me know once you've generated and sent it

and when i should be using it

ehelms: it is xz-ing the files right now.

would it be ok to upload it to dropbox.redhat.com?

rimma_: I don't know that site

oh, ok. i used it with jsherrill. let me see how big it is when it is done

blahblahblah: thats a pretty big topic - plenty of materials on the puppet website though

yeah

problem is, my attention span is shorter than my ping latency to google
