Hammer CLI Foreman Templates

This Hammer CLI plugin contains set of commands for foreman_templates, a plugin to Foreman for syncing the contents of the Foreman Community Templates repository (or a git repo of your choice).

This is the list of which version of Foreman Templates is needed to which version of this plugin.

$ gem install hammer_cli_foreman_templates

$ mkdir -p ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/

$ cat <<EOQ > ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman_templates.yml
:foreman_templates:
  :enable_module: true
EOQ

# to confirm things work, this should return useful output
hammer import-templates --help
hammer export-templates --help

See our Hammer CLI installation and configuration instuctions.

With this guide, you'll be able to set up hammer_cli_foreman_templates with hammer-cli-foreman for development.

These are the requirements for this setup. Note that some may not be needed at all depending on your setup.

• git
• ruby
• rvm
• foreman

First, cd into the directory where your projects will live. Then clone everything.

git clone https://github.com/theforeman/hammer-cli-foreman.git
git clone https://github.com/theforeman/hammer-cli-foreman-templates.git

Before we bundle, we need to setup our local Gemfile. Edit Gemfile.local.rb in your hammer_cli_foreman_templates directory to point to the local projects instead of using the gems. Enter the following:

gem 'hammer_cli_foreman', :path => '../hammer-cli-foreman'

Now, let's create the directories we need for configuration.

mkdir -p ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d

Edit ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml and enter any hammer-cli config values you want.

Next edit ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman.yml and enter the following:

:foreman:
  :enable_module: true
  :host: 'http://foreman.example.com/'
  :username: 'admin'
  :password: 'changeme'

Edit ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman_templates.yml and enter in the following:

:foreman_templates:
  :enable_module: true

And then finally test out your installation:

bundle exec hammer -vh

You should see in the output:

Extension module hammer_cli_foreman_templates (version) loaded

If you see no errors, you should be good to go.
