Here is a Debian sample:

• Install foreman 1.17 with foreman-installer
• Use only foreman user (not root!)
• In /usr/share/foreman/bundler.d directory, add Gemfile.local.rb file and add this line in it:

gem 'the_foreman_proxmox'

• Install the gem plugin:

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

• Install plugin assets (proxmox.js, etc):

You need nodejs installed and foreman-asset package.

Edit /usr/share/foreman/config/environments/production.rb:

config.cache_classes = false

• Restart the server:

touch ~foreman/tmp/restart.txt

Precompile plugin assets:

/usr/bin/foreman-ruby /usr/bin/bundle exec bin/rake plugin:asset:precompile[the_foreman_proxmox]

Edit /usr/share/foreman/config/environments/production.rb:

config.cache_classes = true
