h1. RPM's distribution based installation We maintain a repository for RHEL and Fedora (and clones) - you may add it via: h2. Stable h3. Puppet <pre> yumrepo { 'foreman': descr => 'Foreman Repo', baseurl => 'http://yum.theforeman.org/stable', gpgcheck => '0', enabled => '1' } </pre> h3. Quick and dirty <pre> cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo << EOF [foreman] name=Foreman Repo baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/stable gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 EOF </pre> <pre> yum install foreman </pre> h2. 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 <pre> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL </pre> 2.) Install the foreman-release.rpm for your version of RHEL or Fedora <pre> 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 </pre> 3.) Install foreman and other foreman-* packages to add functionality: <pre> 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) </pre> 5.) Configure <pre> Edit /etc/foreman/settings.yaml and /etc/foreman/database.yml su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate </pre> 6.) Start the foreman service or set up passenger <pre> service foreman start Or: Passenger packages/repos are available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/ Note that 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 it is fairly easy to get it working again. After foreman is installed ensure /usr/sbin is in your path so that the axps binary can be found, otherwise the rpm's may fail to build while complaining about being unable to find some files. Then do the following: 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 http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/SRPMS/rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm; yum-builddep rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm; rpmbuild --rebuild rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm </pre> Example RHEL6 setup: <pre> 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 </pre> h2. Getting the RPMS If you just want to get the rpms: http://yum.theforeman.org
