Elwood_5G: did you get any better?

hi, i think im missing 2 bits in understanding whats going on.. a) is a foreman host supposed to be running a normal puppet agent later on? if so, what modules/codebase to use for that? - b) any example of nodeclassification in such a usecase?

lembron: a) no need to run puppet or anything on your foreman hosts, it doesnt harm to run it though, so you can manage it directly from foreman

dLobatog ive also read that the installer itself uses puppet, but i cant seem to line up "how to copy that into my custom controll repo in the end"

or should one just leave this to manual-provision, include the host in puppet, but dont touch the puppet/foreman parts?

and b) i just found i think =) https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.13/#3.5.5Facts...

lembron: the installer uses the modules here https://github.com/theforeman?utf8=%E2%9C%93&am... , I don't think it's worth importing those to your own puppet masters, best to leave installations to the installers

ocassionally I've found them useful to do things like deploy dhcp on my own etc.. but for installing foreman I just defer it to the installer

so whats the supposed way? manually instal, craft around, regulary update documentation with the used installer command and "reset every week" to test that out? (i assume a few months of playing around before a solid stack/plugin list and such is found...)

im not planning on going hyperHA on 20nodes yet, but 2-3 puppetmasters it will be...

lembron: install using foreman-installer, and yeah keep track of what options you used as those will be saved for when you run it again to upgrade, /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-answers.yaml is where the installation answers are saved

lembron: not sure what you mean by reset every week but that doesn't sound good :) you can run the installer in '--noop' mode too to just see what would be the changes without making them

is it possible use a hosts facts to narrow a search via /api/hosts? i can't find anything about that in the docs and facts.$fact doesn't work

ntnn: yeah, add parameters just like in the UI search

does anyone know how to make virt-who report to the right content host? http://i.imgur.com/sMRwpgV.png

it's just adding a new UUID instead of adding its info to the content host

is salt supported in foreman 1.14.x?
