+## Foreman Architecture
+
+A Foreman installation will always contain a central Foreman instance
+that is responsible for providing the Web based GUI, node
+configurations, initial host configuration files, etc. However, if the
+Foreman installation supports unattended installations, then other
+operations need to be performed to fully automate this process. The
+Smart Proxy manages remote services and is generally installed with all
+Foreman installations to manage TFTP, DHCP, DNS, Puppet, Puppet CA,
+Ansible, and Salt.
+
+## Smart-Proxy
+
+A [Smart-Proxy](manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#4.3SmartProxies) is located on or near a machine that performs a specific function and helps Foreman orchestrate the process of commissioning a new host. Placing the Smart Proxy on or near to the actual service will also help reduce latency in large distributed organizations.

+[The Foreman installer](/manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#3.2ForemanInstaller) uses Puppet **(6 or later required)** to install Foreman. This guide assumes that you have a newly installed operating system, on which the installer will setup Foreman, a Puppet server, and the [Smart Proxy](/manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#4.3SmartProxies) by default. It's **not advisable** to follow the steps below on an existing system, since the installer will affect the configuration of several components.

+If you want to manage content (for example, RPMs, Kickstart trees, ISO and KVM images, OSTree content, and more) with Foreman please follow the  <a href="https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/">Katello</a> installation instructions. If you are a new user, ensure that you familiarize yourself with  <a href="https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/">Katello</a> and decide whether you want to use its features because installing Katello on top of an existing Foreman is unsupported. Note that you cannot install Katello on Debian systems.

+
+The installation run is non-interactive, but the configuration can be customized by supplying any of the options listed in `foreman-installer --help`, or by running `foreman-installer -i` for interactive mode.  More examples are given in the [Installation Options](/manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#3.2.2InstallerOptions) section.  Adding `-v` will disable the progress bar and display all changes.  To run the installer, execute:
+

+
+After it completes, the installer will print some details about where to find Foreman and the Smart Proxy. Output should be similar to this:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+  * Foreman is running at https://theforeman.example.com
+      Initial credentials are admin / 3ekw5xtyXCoXxS29
+  * Foreman Proxy is running at https://theforeman.example.com:8443
+  The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-installer.log

+
+#### Next-generation documentation
+
+Over the last year, Foreman community members have been open-sourcing Red Hat documentation to make more comprehensive guides available to Foreman users. At the moment, the following guides have been migrated to a work-in-progress [Foreman and Katello documentation site](https://docs.theforeman.org). This project is not yet complete, but you might find useful information in some of the following guides:
+
+* [Provisioning Guide](https://docs.theforeman.org/master/Provisioning_Guide/index-foreman.html)
+* [Administering Foreman Guide](https://docs.theforeman.org/master/Administering_Red_Hat_Satellite/index-foreman.html)
+* [Managing Hosts Guide](https://docs.theforeman.org/master/Managing_Hosts/index-foreman.html)
+* [Content Management Guide](https://docs.theforeman.org/master/Content_Management_Guide/index-foreman.html)
+* [Configuring Smart Proxies with a Load Balancer](https://docs.theforeman.org/master/Configuring_Load_Balancer/index-foreman.html)

+After installation, the Foreman installer will have set up a Puppet server on the host, fully integrated with Foreman.  First run the Puppet agent on the Foreman host which will send the first Puppet report to Foreman, automatically creating the host in Foreman's database.
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+sudo puppet agent --test
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+<div class="alert alert-info">Puppet will show a warning the first time that the node can't be found, this can be ignored.</div>
+
+In Foreman, click on the *Hosts* tab and your Foreman host should be visible in the list with an "O" status.  This indicates its status is OK, with no changes made on the last Puppet run.
+
+#### Downloading a Puppet module
+
+Next, we'll install a Puppet module for managing the NTP service from [Puppet Forge](http://forge.puppetlabs.com) to our "production" environment (the default):
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+sudo puppet module install puppetlabs/ntp
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+In Foreman, go to *Configure > Classes* and click *Import from hostname* (top right) to read the available Puppet classes from the Puppet server and populate Foreman's database.  The "ntp" class will appear in the Puppet class list if installed correctly.
+
+#### Using the Puppet module
+
+Click on the "ntp" class in the list, change to the *Smart Class Parameters* tab and select the *servers* parameter on the left hand side.  Tick the *Override* checkbox so Foreman manages the "servers" parameter of the class and change the default value if desired, before submitting the page.
+
+* More info: [Parameterized classes documentation](/manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#4.2.5ParameterizedClasses)
+* Screencast: [Parameterized class support in Foreman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksr0tilbmcc)
+
+Change back to the *Hosts* tab and click *Edit* on the Foreman host.  On the *Puppet Classes* tab, expand the *ntp* module and click the + icon to add the *ntp* class to the host, then save the host.
+
+<div class="alert alert-info">Managed parameters can be overridden when editing an individual host from its <i>Parameters</i> tab.</div>
+
+Clicking the *YAML* button when back on the host page will show the *ntp* class and the servers parameter, as passed to Puppet via the ENC (external node classifier) interface.  Re-run `puppet agent --test` on the Foreman host to see the NTP service automatically reconfigured by Puppet and the NTP module.
+
+#### Adding more Puppet-managed hosts
+
+Other hosts with Puppet agents installed can use this Puppet server by setting `server = foreman.example.com` in puppet.conf.  Sign their certificates in Foreman by going to *Infrastructure > Smart Proxies > Certificates* or using `puppet cert list` and `puppet cert sign` on the Puppet server.
+
+Puppet classes can be added to host groups in Foreman instead of individual hosts, enabling a standard configuration of many hosts simultaneously.  Host groups are typically used to represent server roles.

+
+The Foreman installer is a collection of Puppet modules that installs everything required for a full working Foreman setup.  It uses native OS packaging (e.g. RPM and .deb packages) and adds necessary configuration for the complete installation.
+
+Components include the Foreman web UI, Smart Proxy, a Puppet server, and optionally TFTP, DNS and DHCP servers. It is configurable and the Puppet modules can be read or run in "no-op" mode to see what changes it will make.
+
+The installation will require 4GB of memory, see [System Requirements](manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#3.1SystemRequirements) for more information.
+
+#### Supported platforms
+
+* Enterprise Linux 8, x86_64
+* Enterprise Linux 9, x86_64
+* Debian 11 (Bullseye), amd64
+* Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), amd64
+* Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy), amd64
+
+#### Enterprise Linux
+
+The Foreman packages and installer are tested on AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Stream 9, but other RHEL derivatives can work because they're similar. Sometimes additional work may be needed. For any queries for these platforms raise a question in [discourse support section](https://community.theforeman.org/c/support/10)

+The hardware requirements for Foreman depend primarily on the number of requests that it will receive, which depends on the number of configuration management clients, web UI activity and other systems using the API.
+
+The default installation when including Puppet server will require:
+
+* 4GB memory
+* 2GB disk space
+
+For a bare minimum installation with few clients and no Puppet server, the requirements are:
+
+* 2GB memory
+* 1GB disk space
+
+#### Scaling notes
+
+* The default Puma configuration is 2 workers with a maximum of 16 threads and a minimum of 0 threads per worker.
+* When using a Puppet server, consult the requirements outlined in the [Puppet server system requirements](https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/server/install_from_packages.html#system-requirements).
+* Disk usage will increase as more data is stored in the database, mostly for facts and reports. See the [reports cronjob configuration](manuals/{{page.version}}/index.html#3.5.4PuppetReports) to change how they are expired.
