Description

It would be awesome to be able to schedule pre and post hook before specific action.

This is one of my use case I'd like to be able to achieve with Foreman :
If I click on "Build an host", I'd like to be able to program an hook to make wget on a webservice I wrote to schedule a Nagios Downtime during the server rebuild"

I'm sure we could find a lot of different use cases.

Thx in advance

Seconded - for unattended ArchLinux installs, it is (currently, this may change) necessary to start a Network Block Device (NBD) serving the Arch Install ISO to the PXE booted client. This would replace the manual step of starting and stopping the NBD device.

This could also be used for users to provide arbitrary scripts, such as downloading vmliuz/initrd/iso files for PXE to use, and so on.

Ohad, is this similar to what Foreman does when downloading the initrd/vmlinuz files for existing supported distributions?

not at all, Foreman simply tell the proxy where to fetch the boot file from, then the proxy is fetching and putting it in the right place.

I'm guessing we can add observer actions to most stuff

i think we can do it by adding additional callbacks (such as after_built, before_built etc)

I submit a pull request https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/311 which adds a custom callback callback called :ready_for_build
