How to tell if plugin were added to a Foreman installation

foreman

I am planning a migration from an old Foreman install to a new version and a new server.
I wish to know how can I find out if any plugins were added to the old installation and so that I can install them on the new system as well.

Best Answer

Here is some answers I got on the Foreman IRC channel:

  • First place to look -> The 'about' page, it lists all properly registered plugins (But some plugins may not register)
  • 2nd place -> the OS packaging system - many plugins are installed as packages with names that include 'foreman' somewhere
  • 3rd place -> the gem command - run 'gem list' with the foreman user, look for gems that have 'foreman' in their names.
  • If you suspect there are faulty/unregisted plugins: Foreman actually looks for plugins in its Gemfile, or in files in the 'bundler.d' directory under the Foreman installation directory. If its not there, Foreman does not load it.
