Ansible Role: install_foreman

Install and configure The Foreman or Red Hat Satellite 6.

Description

This role is designed to install The Foreman, or Red Hat Satellite 6 with an extremely basic configuration.

The intent is to have this role be compatible with either The Foreman, or Satellite 6. Installing both in a way that they should function the same. This role will not do any configuration of either application beyond the initial setup of an Organization with DNS and DHCP. This should place the application in a state that is almost ready to start provisioning hosts.

Requirements

To utilise this role to install Red Hat Satellite 6, you will need the required subscriptions for RHEL and Satellite 6.

To utilise this role for either The Foreman or Satellite 6, you will need to ensure the Foreman Ansible Modules are present and usable by Ansible. This will only be required until these modules are pushed into mainline Ansible.

Modules used:
