h1. RPM's distribution based installation We maintain a repository for RHEL and Fedora (and clones) - you may add it via: h2. Release 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. 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 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/releases/1.0/el5/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.0/el6/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.0/f16/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.0/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 </pre> 7.) Set up Nginx + Passenger [[Setting up Nginx + Passenger ]] On RHEL5 the RPM's at the URL above will not run after updating ruby. 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: <pre> 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> h2. Development 1.) For RHEL 5 & 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.

This has the potential to break stuff (like passenger, notes 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. This will only work when there is an RC that is in the repository for testing. Fedora <pre> http://yum.theforeman.org/rc/el5/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el5/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/rc/el6/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/rc/f16/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f16/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/rc/f17/foreman-release.rpm http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f17/foreman-release.rpm </pre> 3.)

Start the foreman service or set up passenger <pre> service foreman start </pre> Or: Passenger packages/repos are available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/ On RHEL5 the RPM's at the URL above will not run after updating ruby. 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: <pre> 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> h2. Nightly Builds Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman-nightly.repo with the following contents: el5: <pre> [foreman-nightly] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el5/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [foreman-nightly-source] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el5/source gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 </pre> el6: <pre> [foreman-nightly] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el6/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [foreman-nightly-source] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el6/source gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 </pre> f16: <pre> [foreman-nightly] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/f16/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [foreman-nightly-source] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/f16/source gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 </pre> f17: <pre> [foreman-nightly] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/f17/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [foreman-nightly-source] name=foreman-nightly baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/f17/source gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 </pre> h2.
