Foreman » Installer

RHEL9 + Foreman 3.10 + Katello 4.12

Adjusting settings via postgresql::server::config_entries in /etc/foreman-installer/custom-hiera.yaml or parameter --tuning medium creates these settings in /etc/postgresql.conf instead of /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf.
The parameter postgresql::server::postgresql_conf_path does not change anything.

The settings have no effect (during and after the installation) as one can see with:

psql -c 'show max_connections' # as user postgres -> 100

As a result the installation fails with 8 cores since there are too few connections possible.

With 6 cores it works but the performance for further tasks is really bad and the settings must manually be fixed.
