2025-02-05, 09:00–13:00, Foreman (B.1.031)
As part of the Foreman fringe event we want to provide a workshop for users new to Foreman at all or the orchestration functionality of Remote Execution
The workshop will give an introduction to Foreman and an overview over its components. We will install Foreman with Remote Execution using Forklift which requires Vagrant and Virtualbox or Libvirt or on a virtual machine running CentOS Stream 9 prepared by the attendee. We will look into Remote Execution and how it works, using the script provider to run bash commands and Ansible provider to execute playbooks. Furthermore we look into writing our own templates, how to implement recurring jobs and how jobs can be pulled by a host instead of getting push. And last but not least we will look into the Cockpit integration based on Remote Execution providing a Web console and graphical management interface.
