I have had reasonable luck with foreman using Centos7.
The installs are reasonably painless.
I can help walk through this if you want.

Hello group,
I am at the point where I am going to tell my manager that its folly
to use this product in any way.
I have been working on this for weeks and have made very little
progress in getting errors cleared , certificates working, and
controls in the Foreman web gui working.
I work for the state of Arizona and we are thinking of using Foreman
to manage our Linux hosts.
From the install, there were pages of errors and I have bounced around
trying to use different flavors of O/S and finally was able to get
Foreman installed
using ubuntu 16.02. I tried Centos, SUSE, and ubuntu 14.04.
I am at a point where if I try and run agent test commands, I get many
errors. Here is a sample:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on

I have uninstalled and re-installed the ntp classes. I have tried
clearing and re-signing the certificates. I have had errors where
remote hosts (puppet) are refused, or don't connect at all. Its
getting to point where this product is becoming a major waste of time
to install and configure.
I am installing this in a VMWare environment, and I have full network
access.
Is there a prefered O/S or environment where Foreman will install
correctly the first time? I use the instructions on the Foreman
site, and it doesn't work. Then I search to find solutions from other
sites and I will get a little further, but with not much further
progress.
Is there a site, page/blog that actually works?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
