Description Sean O'Keeffe 2016-10-04 12:53:01 UTC
It would be great to be able to run custom scripts on a smart proxy as well, this is particularly useful in environments where clients that cannot connect directly to the foreman server.

E.g. you have a hook that when you create a host it connects to the servers iLO to configure it first. If the foreman server cannot connect directly to the iLO this useless, running the script from the smart proxy would be a better solution, especially in situations where you have proxies all over the world.

Can this be accomplished with changes to networking behavior, effectively directing Satellite Server to host communications through the Capsule. It seems like a better solution than adding more complexity to the Capsule.

Comment 4 Sean O'Keeffe 2016-10-04 18:28:38 UTC
The other options we have come up with are:
- use a http proxy (squid)
- use port forwarding 
- use SSH tunnel
- copy script to Capsule & and get the hook to run it on the capsule via a something like: "ssh user.com "./path/to/script <args>"

The first 3 options are obviously less secure and I really don't like them. Option 3 could work I guess
