Easy setup of Foreman and Puppetmaster as well as two agent hosts.

• [Vagrant] (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html), Creates and configures lightweight, reproducable, and portable development environments.
• vagrant-hostmanager plugin, automatically ensure all DNS entries are consistent between guests as well as the host, in the '/etc/hosts' file.
• vagrant-vbguest plugin, keeps the vbguest tools updated.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

• Requires Ansible 1.7 or newer
• Expects CentOS 7.x host/s

RHEL7 version reflects changes in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 7:

1. Network device naming scheme has changed
2. iptables is replaced with firewalld
3. MySQL is replaced with MariaDB

Clone the repository into the directory of your choosing. Run Vagrant up and wait for the provisioning to complete.

git clone https://github.com/kamigerami/vagrant_foreman_puppet.git
cd vagrant_foreman_puppet
vagrant up theforeman.example.com

Vagrant uses ansible as a provisioning tool. Provision the Foreman host theforeman.example.com first and then if you require more hosts, the agents agent01.example.com, agent02.example.com.

When the provisioning of theforeman.example.com is complete, note the output from Vagrant. The output provides the admin login password and URL for the foreman web interface. Example output below.

==> theforeman.example.com:   Success!
==> theforeman.example.com:   * Foreman is running at https://theforeman.example.com
==> theforeman.example.com:       Initial credentials are admin / changeme
==> theforeman.example.com:   * Foreman Proxy is running at https://theforeman.example.com:8443
==> theforeman.example.com:   * Puppetmaster is running at port 8140
==> theforeman.example.com:   The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-installer.log

The Vagrantfile retrieves multiple VM configurations from a separate nodes.json JSON file. All VM configuration is contained in that JSON file. You can add additional VMs to the JSON file, following the existing pattern. The Vagrantfile will loop through all nodes (VMs) in the nodes.json file and create the VMs. You can easily swap configuration files for alternate environments since the Vagrantfile is designed to be generic and portable.

Error: Unknown configuration section 'hostmanager'. => **Solution: **Install the vagrant-hostmanager plugin with vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
