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. Channel
Also be advised, that on RHEL5 the Foreman Repo will update Ruby to version 1.8.7. This has
the potential to break stuff (like passenger, notes below on getting it working again below),
so be sure you want to proceed before committing to the installation.
<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
yum-builddep 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-libvirt 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:
