while installing katello using `yum -y install katello` I am getting following package version conflict error: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/vwECmkDnU...

can somebody share a thought on how to overcome this, please.

i have read the template syntax but the preview shows trash to me by not resolving global variables, so there comes up the question: how can i access @host.ip for example but actually all (foreman variables) in the section: kickstart default, %post, cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enoXY << EOF?

Hi theforeman team, how can I install puppet-agent on a server without internet connection ?

hi all

I would like to add a new disk to an existing host in foreman but the button "add volumes" is grayed

i don't understand why

Hey guys , anyone using ansible with foremanP

I get the following error message: Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

ssh from foreman-host to target-host works as expected

any ideas?

and do I need the smart proxy package when I install the ansible plugin on our central foreman instance? rubygem-smart_proxy_ansible-1.1.1-1.fm1_15.el7.noarch.rpm

or is this package only needed for the smart-proxies/Capsules?

Ok i need both packges, hail to irc logs 😁

does anyone use the pulp foreman plugin against a remote pulp repo

I'm trying to poc something at the moment, and I'm trying to understand the difference / usage of pulpnode.yml v pulp.yml in the proxy setup

there isn't readme / docs in the git repo for the pulp proxy plugin

curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -k -u myuser:mypasswd -X POST -d '[{"name":"parameter1","value":"3000"}' '{"name":"parameter2","value":"6000"}]' http://myurl/foreman/api/hosts/myhost/parameters/ |python -mjson.tool

"error": "There was a problem in the JSON you submitted: 419: unexpected token at ''"

i don't undestand why

kqkq, there is a ' between each object

kqkq, try this: curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -k -u myuser:mypasswd -X POST -d '[{"name":"parameter1","value":"3000"}, {"name":"parameter2","value":"6000"}]' http://myurl/foreman/api/hosts/myhost/parameters/ |python -mjson.tool

he say "name": [ "can't be blank"

kqkq, is there a " on the original value of name?

ik_5 : yep

kqkq, do you escape it?

no

kqkq, the " char in JSON should be escaped, or it is considered part of the syntax

{ "name": "\"foo" }

always not :(

curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -k -u myuser:mypasswd -X POST -d '[{"name":"\"parameter1","value":"\"3000"}' '{"name":"\"parameter2","value":"\"6000"}]' http://myurl/foreman/api/hosts/myhost/parameters/ |python -mjson.tool

sorry

curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -k -u myuser:mypasswd -X POST -d '[{"name":"\"parameter1","value":"\"3000"}','{"name":"\"parameter2","value":"\"6000"}]' http://myurl/foreman/api/hosts/myhost/parameters/ |python -mjson.tool

kqkq, why do you keep the ' char between each object? it's a shell string because you'ved started with it

curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -k -u myuser:mypasswd -X POST -d '{"name":"\"parameter8","value":"3000"}' http://myurl/foreman/api/hosts/myhost/parameters/ |python -mjson.tool

is 's work

but 2 parameters don't works

kqkq, based on the documentation it expects only a single object, unless i'm missing something (I'ved read the code and documentation)

hi there. I'm using foreman with ansible (no puppet) and adding hosts also ansible to add hosts. the problem is, that foreman says, that there are no reports for these hosts (i assume that foreman just wants the puppet reports). my question is: is possible to disable this?

Alucard616: this was covered (for me) in an old conversation

ansible doesn't create the reports by design was my understanding

ikonia: this would be okay for me. but it would be nice if i could disable this status :)

(I could be wrong, that's just my understanding)

Alucard616: it should be possible to get reports from ansible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTwePoc4jw&...

Alucard616: there is reporting for ansible. you will need to have a ansible callback configured for this. see https://theforeman.org/plugins/foreman_ansible/...

Alucard616: Since it is not common to have hosts report via ansible to asses their status on the regular basis, we are looking into making changes to handle it better.

Alucard616: There has been a setting introducede to allow an ansible specific "out of sync" interval for example. another change we look into is to allow optionall disregarding host states for Ansible.

aruzicka: thanks. I'll have a look

bastilian: that would be very nice :) we 're currently switching from puppet to ansible

ik_5: so we can not pass him several parameters

?

kqkq, to my understanding, you can't

ik_5 : I did not find the place in the doc?

kqkq, https://theforeman.org/api/1.16/apidoc/v2/param... look for POST /api/hosts/:host_id/parameters

kqkq, "Create a nested parameter for a host"

ik_5: thks
