123 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Latest source code |
124 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
125 | 7 | Ohad Levy | You can get the latest source code of Foreman from the git repository hosted at github. |
126 | 7 | Ohad Levy | 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. |
127 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
128 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to get latest "stable" version do: |
129 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
130 | 4 | Ohad Levy | <pre><code>git clone git://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
131 | 4 | Ohad Levy | cd foreman |
132 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule init |
133 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule update |
134 | 1 | Ohad Levy | </code></pre> |
135 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
136 | 1 | Ohad Levy | * if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.) |
137 | 5 | Rama Krishna | <pre> |
138 | 5 | Rama Krishna | git clone http://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
139 | 5 | Rama Krishna | cd foreman |
140 | 1 | Ohad Levy | sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' .gitmodules |
141 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule init |

152 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
153 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Database |
154 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
155 | 6 | Ohad Levy | Foreman uses a database, this database can be shared with Puppet store-configs (they are compatible, as Foreman extends the puppet database schema). |
156 | 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+. |
157 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
158 | 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. |
159 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
160 | 1 | Ohad Levy | In both cases, please use the *production* settings. |
161 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
162 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to initialize the database schema type: |
163 | 11 | Ohad Levy | <pre> |
164 | 11 | Ohad Levy | RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate |
165 | 11 | Ohad Levy | </pre> |
166 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
167 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Import Data from Puppet |
168 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
169 | 6 | Ohad Levy | At this point, you might want to go through the [[FAQ]] to see how can you import your data into Foreman. |
170 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
171 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Start The Web Server |
172 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
173 | 26 | Ohad Levy | if you installed via rpm, just start the foreman service, or start the built in web server by typing: |
174 | 1 | Ohad Levy | <code>./script/server -e production</code> |
175 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
176 | 6 | Ohad Levy | and point your browser to http://foreman:3000 |
177 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
178 | 26 | Ohad Levy | If you would like to keep the server running, its recommend to setup passenger or use the RPM. |
179 | 26 | Ohad Levy | example usage with passenger can be found here: http://github.com/ohadlevy/puppet-foreman/blob/master/foreman/templates/foreman-vhost.conf.erb |
