Pitfalls

If you are planning to setup a foreman server for reporting and totally decoupled from your puppet master, pay attention to the following things

• Set puppet.conf on master to

[master]
reports = foreman
external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb
node_terminus = exec

• Set correct SSL Certs in foreman hosts apache2 (copy over puppet masters)
• Update nodes.rb file from foreman homepage
• Adjust foreman.yaml in /etc/puppet

---
## Update for your Foreman and Puppet master hostname(s)
:url: "https://foreman.example.com"
:ssl_ca: "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem"
:ssl_cert: "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/foreman.example.com.crt"
:ssl_key: "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/foreman.example.com.key"
:user: "admin"
:password: "lol"
:puppetdir: "/var/lib/puppet"
:puppetuser: "puppet"
:facts: true
:timeout: 10
:threads: null

• Copy /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/reports/foreman.rb to your puppet master’s /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/reports/
• Set Puppet server config item to correct master
• Update Trusted puppetmaster hosts to correct puppet master (as an array!)
• IMPORTANT Set ENC environment to No!
