RPM's distribution based installation¶
We maintain a repository for RHEL and Fedora (and clones) - you may add it via:
Stable¶
Puppet¶
yumrepo { 'foreman': descr => 'Foreman Repo', baseurl => 'http://yum.theforeman.org/stable', gpgcheck => '0', enabled => '1' }
Quick and dirty¶
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo << EOF [foreman] name=Foreman Repo baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/stable gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 EOF
yum install foreman
Development¶
1.) For RHEL 6 ensure your system is subscribed to EPEL. For RHEL 5 you will need to be subscribed to both EPEL and the RHEL Virtualization RHN Channel
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
2.) Install the foreman-release.rpm for your version of RHEL or Fedora
http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el5/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f16/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f17/foreman-release.rpm
3.) Install foreman and other foreman-* packages to add functionality:
foreman Foreman server foreman-proxy Foreman Smart Proxy foreman-cli Foreman CLI utility foreman-libvirt libvirt provisioning support foreman-ovirt ovirt/RHEV provisioning support foreman-ec2 EC2 provisioning support foreman-vmware VMware provisioning support foreman-console Console additions foreman-mysql MySQL database support foreman-mysql2 MySQL database support foreman-postgresql PostgreSQL database support foreman-sqlite SQLite database support foreman-test Testing support (dependency rpm's not built yet) foreman-devel Development support (dependency rpm's not built yet)
5.) Configure
Edit /etc/foreman/settings.yaml and /etc/foreman/database.yml su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate
6.) Start the foreman service or set up passenger
service foreman start (passenger packages/repos available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/ ***See note )
Example RHEL6 setup:
yum install http://mirror.symnds.com/distributions/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm yum install http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman-release.rpm yum install foreman foreman-proxy foreman-ovirt foreman-sqlite foreman-ec2 foreman-console foreman-cli foreman-libvirt foreman-mysql foreman-vmware vi /etc/settings/settings.yaml /etc/settings/database.yml su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate
***Because Foreman requires ruby 1.8.7 it is upgraded on RHEL5 and so the RPM's at the URL above will not run on RHEL5. Fortunately the answer is fairly easy: yum localinstall http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/5/x86_64/rubygem-daemon_controller-0.2.5-1.noarch.rpm wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/SRPMS/rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm; yum-builddep rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm; rpmbuild --rebuild rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm If you get errors about being unable to find httpd.h or other files, ensure /usr/sbin is in your path so that the axps binary can be found
Getting the RPMS¶
