||

22 | The module could be found here: source:extras/puppet/foreman |

23 | |||

29 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Latest source code |
30 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
31 | You can get the latest source code of Foreman from the git repository hosted at github. |
||
32 | This is the preferred way to get Foreman if you want to benefit from the latest improvements. By using the git repository you can also upgrade more easily. |
||
33 | |||
34 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to get latest "stable" version do: |
35 | |||
36 | 4 | Ohad Levy | <pre><code>git clone git://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
37 | cd foreman |
||
38 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule init |
39 | git submodule update |
||
40 | </code></pre> |
||
41 | |||
42 | * if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.) |
||
43 | 5 | Rama Krishna | <pre> |
44 | git clone http://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
||
45 | cd foreman |
||
46 | 1 | Ohad Levy | sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' .gitmodules |
47 | git submodule init |
||

57 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h1. Initial setup |
58 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
59 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Database |
60 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
61 | Foreman uses a database, this database can be shared with Puppet store-configs (they are compatible, as Foreman extends the puppet database schema). |
||
62 | 14 | Ohad Levy | By default, SQLite is used, if you want to use other database (e.g. [[FAQ#I-want-to-use-MySQL|MySQL]]) please modify the configuration file under +config/database.yml+. |
63 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
64 | 6 | Ohad Levy | If you want to share the database with Puppets (storeconfig), just modify +config/database.yml+ to point to the same database configuration as puppet is. |
65 | |||
66 | 1 | Ohad Levy | In both cases, please use the *production* settings. |
67 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
68 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to initialize the database schema type: |
69 | 11 | Ohad Levy | <pre> |
70 | RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate |
||
71 | </pre> |
||
72 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
73 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Import Data from Puppet |
74 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
75 | At this point, you might want to go through the [[FAQ]] to see how can you import your data into Foreman. |
||
76 | |||
77 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Start The Web Server |
78 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
79 | Start the built in web server by typing: |
||
80 | 1 | Ohad Levy | <code>./script/server -e production</code> |
81 | |||
82 | 6 | Ohad Levy | and point your browser to http://foreman:3000 |
83 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
84 | 14 | Ohad Levy | If you would like to keep the server running, I would recommend to setup passenger, an puppet manifest example could be found source:extras/puppet/foreman/templates/foreman-vhost.conf.erb |
