Description

The installer should support installing plugins on top of Foreman, and provide classes which can install and configure plugins appropriately for most/all of those we provide packages for.

It should also support installing the optional Foreman components like foreman-compute, -libvirt, -vmware etc.

I assume all we really need here is an array of extra packages to install?

I think we should provide more than that, bearing in mind the kafo installer interface, i.e. --foreman-libvirt=true is clearer than --foreman-extra-packages=foreman-libvirt.

For plugins, I don't think a package install is sufficient. I'd say an additional Puppet class that can be enabled is needed (especially if it can use kafo's module + parameter support), as we'll probably want to provide configuration as well as just a package. Consider column_view as an example, which has an associated config file. Even for plugins that don't have config yet, we can seamlessly add it later.

Some support for plugins went into the foreman module, thanks to Ewoud: https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman/pull/132

However we're missing support in foreman-installer itself (blocked on #3887), plus support for extra meta-packages.

I'm looking into this at the moment.

Some other plugins worth including in the installer:

puppetdb_foreman
foreman_chef

Updated by Greg Sutcliffe about 10 years ago

Daniel - I'm not sure puppetdb or foreman_chef need to be installed by default. As Ewoud says, we already have the puppetdb one in the repo, I can easily add the foreman_chef entry as well, so you can call it if you like :)

No, not by default, but they should be available in the installer.
