Provisioning Settings

Setting	Default Value	Description
Host owner		Default owner on provisioned hosts, if empty {Project} uses the current user.
Root password	*****	Default encrypted root password on provisioned hosts.
Unattended URL		URL that hosts retrieve templates from during the build. When it starts with https, unattended, or userdata, controllers cannot be accessed using HTTP.
Safemode rendering	Yes	Enables safe mode rendering of provisioning templates. The default and recommended option Yes denies access to variables and any object that is not listed in {Project}. When set to No, any object may be accessed by a user with permission to use templating features, either by editing templates, parameters or smart variables. This permits users full remote code execution on {ProjectServer}, effectively disabling all authorization. This is not a safe option, especially in larger companies.
Access unattended without build	No	Enable access to unattended URLs without build mode being used.
Query local nameservers	No	{Project} queries the locally configured resolver instead of the SOA/NS authorities.
Installation token lifetime	360	Time in minutes that installation tokens should be valid for. Set to 0 to disable the token.
SSH timeout	120	Time in seconds before SSH provisioning times out.
Libvirt default console address	0.0.0.0	The IP address that should be used for the console listen address when provisioning new virtual machines using libvirt.
Update IP from built request	No	{Project} updates the host IP with the IP that made the build request.
Use short name for VMs	No	{Project} uses the short hostname instead of the FQDN for creating new virtual machines.
DNS timeout	[5, 10, 15, 20]	List of timeouts (in seconds) for DNS lookup attempts such as the dns_lookup macro and DNS record conflict validation.
Clean up failed deployment	Yes	{Project} deletes the virtual machine if the provisioning script ends with a non-zero exit code.
Type of name generator	Random-based	Specifies the method used to generate a hostname when creating a new host. The default Random-based option generates a unique random hostname which you can but do not have to use. This is useful for users who create many hosts and do not know how to name them. The MAC-based option is for bare-metal hosts only. If you delete a host and create it later on, it receives the same hostname based on the MAC address. This can be useful for users who recycle servers and want them to always get the same hostname. The Off option disables the name generator function and leaves the hostname field blank.
Default PXE global template entry		Default PXE menu item in a global template {endash} local, discovery or custom, use blank for template default.
Default PXE local template entry		Default PXE menu item in local template {endash} local, local_chain_hd0, or custom, use blank for template default.
iPXE intermediate script	iPXE intermediate script	Intermediate iPXE script for unattended installations.
Destroy associated VM on host delete	No	Destroy associated VM on host delete. When enabled, VMs linked to hosts are deleted on Compute Resource. When disabled, VMs are unlinked when the host is deleted, meaning they remain on Compute Resource and can be re-associated or imported back to {Project} again. This does not automatically power off the VM
Maximum structured facts	100	Maximum number of keys in structured subtree, statistics stored in {project-context}::dropped_subtree_facts.
Default Global registration template	Global Registration	Global Registration template.
Default 'Host initial configuration' template	Linux host_init_config default	Default 'Host initial configuration' template, automatically assigned when a new operating system is created.
CoreOS Transpiler Command	[false, --pretty, --files-dir, /usr/share/foreman/config/ct]	Full path to CoreOS transpiler (ct) with arguments as an comma-separated array
Fedora CoreOS Transpiler Command	[false, --pretty, --files-dir, /usr/share/foreman/config/ct]	Full path to Fedora CoreOS transpiler (fcct) with arguments as an comma-separated array
