Installation

Prerequisites

You need nodejs installed in order to use foreman-assets package.

From gem

See complete details in plugin installation from gem

Here is a Debian sample:

• Install foreman from OS packages:

sudo apt install -y foreman foreman-compute foreman-sqlite3 foreman-assets

• Use only foreman user (not root!) sudo -u foreman ...
• In /usr/share/foreman/bundler.d directory, add Gemfile.local.rb file and add this line in it:

echo "gem 'foreman_fog_proxmox'" | sudo -u foreman tee /usr/share/foreman/bundler.d/Gemfile.local.rb

• Install the gem plugin:

sudo -u foreman /usr/bin/foreman-ruby /usr/bin/bundle install

• Precompile plugin assets:

/usr/bin/foreman-ruby /usr/bin/bundle exec bin/rake plugin:assets:precompile[foreman_fog_proxmox]

• Compile plugin translations if (french) needed :

/usr/bin/foreman-ruby /usr/bin/bundle exec bin/rake plugin:gettext[foreman_fog_proxmox]

• Complete installation of foreman 1.22 with foreman-installer:

sudo apt install -y foreman-installer
sudo foreman-installer

If you don't want to have HTTP 503 errors when apt is trying to install puppetserver, then add this before launching foreman-installer:

echo 'Acquire::http::User-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux)";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/96useragent

See complete details in plugin installation from gem

Then you can check plugin installation after login into your new foreman server seeing the about foreman page:

Development

Prerequisites

• You need a Proxmox VE 5.4 server running.
• You need ruby >= 2.3. You can install it with rbenv.
• You also need nodejs in your dev machine to run webpack-dev-server. You can install it with nvm.

Platform

• Fork this github repo.
• Clone it on your local machine
• Install foreman v1.22 on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/theforeman/foreman -b develop

• Create a Gemfile.local.rb file in foreman/bundler.d/
• Add this line:

gem 'foreman_fog_proxmox', :path => '/your_path_to/foreman_fog_proxmox'
gem 'fog-proxmox', :path => '/your_path_to/fog-proxmox' # optional if you need to modify fog-proxmox code too
gem 'ruby-debug-ide' # dev
gem 'debase' # dev
gem 'simplecov' # test

• In foreman directory, install dependencies:

bundle install --without libvirt postgresql mysql2

npm install

• Configure foreman settings:

cp config/settings.yaml.test config/settings.yaml

• Install foreman database (sqlite is default in rails development):

cp config/model.mappings.example config/model.mappings
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/ignored_environments.yml.sample config/ignored_environments.yml
bundle exec bin/rake db:migrate
bundle exec bin/rake db:seed

• You can reset admin password if needed:

bundle exec bin/rake permissions:reset

• You should write tests and you can execute those specific to this plugin:

all:

export DISABLE_SPRING=true
bundle exec bin/rake test:foreman_fog_proxmox

or just one:

export DISABLE_SPRING=true
bundle exec bin/rake test TEST=test/functional/compute_resources_controller_test.rb

• See deface overrides result:

bundle exec bin/rake deface:get_result['hosts/_compute_detail']

• In foreman directory, after you modify foreman_fog_proxmox specific assets (proxmox.js, etc) you have to precompile it:

bundle exec bin/rake plugin:assets:precompile[foreman_fog_proxmox]

• In foreman directory, after you modify foreman_fog_proxmox translations (language, texts in new files, etc) you have to compile it:

bundle exec bin/rake plugin:gettext[foreman_fog_proxmox]

• In foreman directory, run rails server:

bundle exec bin/rails server

• In foreman directory, run in a new terminal the webpack-dev-server:

./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server --config config/webpack.config.js
