docker-foreman

A simple Docker image to run Foreman

Running

Set -h to a hostname, that's what Foreman and Puppet will use as fqdn.

docker run -ti -h foreman.local --name foreman -p 443:443 -p 8443:8443 -p 8140:8140 csanchez/foreman

Then go to port 443 of your docker host (e.g. http://localhost:443)

To see more hosts in Foreman, you can run more Puppet agents

docker run --link foreman:puppet --rm -ti csanchez/foreman /puppet-agent.sh puppet

Then sign the new certificate in Foreman under Infrastructure -> Smart Proxies -> Certificates.

If you want to open a shell session and play with the installed Puppet and other tools

docker run -ti -h foreman.local -p 8443:443 csanchez/foreman bash

Then run foreman-installer to customize the instance with the new hostname, and anything else you want to run.

foreman-installer
puppet agent --test
...

Customizing

Create your Dockerfile and run any commands, eg. to install the docker plugin (csanchez/foreman-docker image)

FROM csanchez/foreman
RUN yum -y install ruby193-rubygem-foreman_docker

Building

docker build -t csanchez/foreman .
