118 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Latest stable release |
119 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
120 | 30 | Ohad Levy | Latest stable version can be found under the files section |
121 | 19 | Ohad Levy | |
122 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Latest source code |
123 | 7 | Ohad Levy | |
124 | You can get the latest source code of Foreman from the git repository hosted at github. |
||
125 | This is the preferred way to get Foreman if you want to benefit from the latest improvements. By using the git repository you can also upgrade more easily. |
||
126 | |||
127 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to get latest "stable" version do: |
128 | |||
129 | 4 | Ohad Levy | <pre><code>git clone git://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
130 | cd foreman |
||
131 | 1 | Ohad Levy | git submodule init |
132 | git submodule update |
||
133 | </code></pre> |
||
134 | |||
135 | * if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.) |
||
136 | 5 | Rama Krishna | <pre> |
137 | git clone http://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman |
||
138 | cd foreman |
||
139 | 1 | Ohad Levy | sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' .gitmodules |
140 | git submodule init |
||
141 | 5 | Rama Krishna | git submodule update |
142 | </pre> |
||
143 | |||
144 | 12 | Ohad Levy | h3. Daily snapshot |

150 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h1. Initial setup |
151 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
152 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Database |
153 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
154 | Foreman uses a database, this database can be shared with Puppet store-configs (they are compatible, as Foreman extends the puppet database schema). |
||
155 | 14 | Ohad Levy | By default, SQLite is used, if you want to use other database (e.g. [[FAQ#I-want-to-use-MySQL|MySQL]]) please modify the configuration file under +config/database.yml+. |
156 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
157 | 6 | Ohad Levy | If you want to share the database with Puppets (storeconfig), just modify +config/database.yml+ to point to the same database configuration as puppet is. |
158 | |||
159 | 1 | Ohad Levy | In both cases, please use the *production* settings. |
160 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
161 | 1 | Ohad Levy | to initialize the database schema type: |
162 | 11 | Ohad Levy | <pre> |
163 | RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate |
||
164 | </pre> |
||
165 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
166 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Import Data from Puppet |
167 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
168 | At this point, you might want to go through the [[FAQ]] to see how can you import your data into Foreman. |
||
169 | |||
170 | 8 | Ohad Levy | h2. Start The Web Server |
171 | 6 | Ohad Levy | |
172 | 26 | Ohad Levy | if you installed via rpm, just start the foreman service, or start the built in web server by typing: |
173 | 1 | Ohad Levy | <code>./script/server -e production</code> |
174 | |||
175 | 6 | Ohad Levy | and point your browser to http://foreman:3000 |
176 | 1 | Ohad Levy | |
177 | 26 | Ohad Levy | If you would like to keep the server running, its recommend to setup passenger or use the RPM. |
178 | example usage with passenger can be found here: http://github.com/ohadlevy/puppet-foreman/blob/master/foreman/templates/foreman-vhost.conf.erb |
