uberforeman tends to be a simple command-line client for foreman sitting on top of oVirt compute resource. Main goal of uberforeman is to manage multi-host setups and do simple orchrestration of deploying your hosts. With uberforeman, you can define kind of dependenies among your hosts, define provisioning order, so some hosts are installed earlier than others.
- python2.7/3.3
- requests - python http client library
easy_install requests
If you do not have easy_install do yum install python-setuptools
to install just for current user without root access, (you should include ~/.local/bin/ to your $PATH)
python setup.py install --user
or run as root for system-wide install
python setup.py install
You may need to save foreman connection info, credentials and your setup defaults before you start using uberforeman.
Create a file called $HOME/.uberforeman with following content
[Login]
username = foremanuser
password = your pass # skip storing your password here and uberforeman will ask you
[Foreman]
url = https://foreman.yourdomain.org
[Host Defaults]
cluster = default #see sample
Your setup JSON file, which describes VM setup you want to deploy and manage. See sample
with comments (you can easily make it a valid JSON by grep -v "#" samples/main > setup.json).
To see status of your setup run
uberforeman setup.json --status
Initially, it will probably tell you to run --install first.
There are 3 levels of values (VM properties). Higher level has higher priority
- on user level in your
~/.uberforeman - on setup.json level -
default-hostkey - on VM level
You can run bellow command to print your setup.json file with applied defaults
uberforeman setup.json --dump
This project conatins some hardcoded pieces related to one particular datacenter I am using. Please do not file issues or complain about it. Fixing the code and sending patches is much more appreciated.
