18 | 13 | Ohad Levy | h2. Puppet Module ready to use |
19 | |||
20 | You may try out the puppet Foreman module, this should take care for most of the basic setup. |
||
21 | |||
22 | The module could be found here: source:extras/puppet/foreman |
||
23 | |||
24 | 22 | Ohad Levy | The module is included in the official tarbar in the extras/puppet sub directory, you may extract it from this archive: http://thetorque.org/foreman-nightly.tar.bz2 |
25 | 21 | Ohad Levy | |
26 | 22 | Ohad Levy | you may use puppet (if you don't want to add it as a module to your puppetmaster) in the following way: |
27 | 21 | Ohad Levy | |
28 | <pre> |
||
29 | echo include foreman | puppet --verbose --modulepath /path_to/tarball/extras/puppet |
||
30 | </pre> |
||
31 | |||
32 | if you would like to setup passenger as well, you can |
||
33 | |||
34 | <pre> |
||
35 | echo include foreman::passenger | puppet --verbose --modulepath /path_to/tarball/extras/puppet |
||
36 | </pre> |
||
37 | |||
38 | 13 | Ohad Levy | *Its recommend to review the module prior usage.* |

85 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
86 | You can get the latest source code of Foreman from the git repository hosted at github. |

87 | 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. |
||
88 | |||
89 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to get latest "stable" version do: |
90 | |||
91 | 4 | Ohad Levy | <pre><code>git clone git://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
92 | cd foreman |
||
93 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule init |
94 | git submodule update |
||
95 | </code></pre> |
||
96 | |||
97 | * if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.) |
||
98 | 5 | Rama Krishna | <pre> |
99 | git clone http://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
||
100 | cd foreman |
||
101 | 1 | Ohad Levy | sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' .gitmodules |

113 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
114 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Database |
115 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
116 | Foreman uses a database, this database can be shared with Puppet store-configs (they are compatible, as Foreman extends the puppet database schema). |
||
117 | 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+. |
118 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
119 | 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. |
120 | |||
121 | 1 | Ohad Levy | In both cases, please use the *production* settings. |
122 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
123 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to initialize the database schema type: |
124 | 11 | Ohad Levy | <pre> |
125 | RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate |
||
126 | </pre> |
||
