Foreman docker-compose

Docker compose of Foreman in a LB (using haproxy) setup, including basic client (fact uploads), postgres and memcache.

Installation

Install docker-compose from docker compose (or via native packaging)

cd into this directory and run docker-compose build. This will build a Foreman (develop branch) image and create web assets (which takes a while).

Afterwards, run docker-compose up and log in at http://localhost. SSL is disabled for this deployment.

Change admin password

The admin password is auto-generated and printed out during the build. You can generate a new one as follows:

$ docker-compose run --rm foreman-init bundle exec rake permissions:reset

Known issues

fact uploading

The client container can upload facts, however, you would need to change the following setting:

restrict_registered_smart_proxies=false
require_ssl_smart_proxies=false

SELinux Denials

The way haproxy auto configure itself based on scale, is by quering docker itself, this raises a selinux alert, if you want haproxy to autoconfigure currently you need to setenfore=0.

Please note that docker-compose up -d binds your localhost:80 to the haproxy container port 80, so once complete you can go to http://localhost

Once completed you may scale your services - e.g. docker-compose scale foreman=3 client=10
