Hi,

thanks for the information.

I am wondering if it makes sense to move the Puppet CA also to the external 
Puppet Server. Do I even need a puppet instalation at all on the Foreman server?

Background is we are already using a Puppet Server and I don't want to use a 
second one without having a reason to do so (e.g. Foreman requires it).

I have read in the documentation but unfortunatelly the documentation is more 
or less vague how Foreman is connected to puppet. I am often thinking 'why is 
that so' and 'why isn't there more deeper information to read'.

Greetings
Tobias

When we looked at the scenario guide at 
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.13/index.html#3.2.3InstallationScenarios
towards the bottom it explains how to create a separate foreman with the 
installer.
foreman-installer \
  --puppet-server=false \
  --foreman-proxy-puppet=false \
  --foreman-proxy-puppetca=false

Then on your current puppet master


foreman-installer -v \

--no-enable-foreman \

--no-enable-foreman-cli \

--no-enable-foreman-plugin-bootdisk \

--no-enable-foreman-plugin-setup \

--enable-puppet \

--puppet-server-ca=false \  *if this does not have ca services***

--puppet-server-foreman-url=https://foreman.com \

--enable-foreman-proxy \

--foreman-proxy-puppetca=false \

--foreman-proxy-tftp=false \

--foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url=https://foreman.com \

--foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts=foreman.com \

--foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key=***Copied from you foreman install \

--foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-secret==***Copied from you foreman install \

--puppet-ca-server=ca_server.com



I hope this helps. If I am incorrect please let me know.



Have a great day.

Hi,

we already have a productive Puppet Server (4) running on another machine.

Is there a way to use Foreman with this existing Puppet Server and if yes how 
is it possible? The manual is a little bit difuse on that topic.
