Greetings:
Sorry for cross-posting this question, but I haven't gotten any love
over on the Google Forum for Foreman
users<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/foreman-users> (their
forum isn't as active as this one). I only recently learned about The
Foreman and I'd like to deploy it on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS workstation
to provision/manage a bunch of VPSs. I have an existing master-agent Puppet
deployment w/PuppetDB on it's own VPS. In the Foreman 1.2 Installation
Manual, the following is mentioned in a couple of places:
The Foreman installer uses Puppet to install Foreman. This guide assumes
> that you've already installed Puppet (without a master)...
Unless there's a huge benefit to allowing the Foreman installer to
overwrite my current puppetmaster configs, I'd like to keep my existing
Puppet master. In perusing through the manual, I then came across *3.2.2
Installer Options*, which suggests that 'all with the world' will be grand
and wonderful again, if I simply copy & edit the answers file found at
/usr/share/foreman-installer/foreman_installer/answers.yaml.
I continued reading and then came across the following: "Other examples are
given in /usr/share/foreman-installer/README.md." Being the obedient-fellow
that I am, I went ahead and read the README file; because, at this point,
my biggest question is this:
If I, in the *answers.yaml* file, set the *puppet* and *puppetmaster* variables
> to *false*, do I need to go back once the Foreman install is finished and
> patch The Foreman to my existing puppetmaster that I am stubbornly hanging
> on to?
In the README file, I came across the following:
Extras
------
If you just want to include the relavant bits to run on your puppet master
> you may
include foreman::params, foreman::config::enc, foreman::config::reports
What exactly does "If you just want to include the relavant bits to run on
your puppet master you may...." mean? Are those parameters what those with
an existing Puppet master need to/should include? If so... where/when?
Before running The Foreman Installer? In the *answers.yaml* file?
Thanks!
