Yesterday I was thinking about writing a blog series "Katello from scratch" which doesn't use the installer but just regular packages and manual work. Could be interesting to discuss certificates at some point.
Is there anything missing?
Is there additional information that would be helpful in understanding?
I think there are 2 ways of looking at it: the various settings and where files end up being deployed.
I'd like a table with all the installer parameters that affect these and what their default values are.

This is really Katello terminology that we don't use for Foreman. I'd be explicit in that.

I couldn't find a spot where we laid this out in detail, so I wrote it up and am starting here to capture the information. Perhaps this best lives here, perhaps best in foreman-documentation.
There is some information, that is out of date in some spots, also collected in these locations:
Consolidating and making this better will be a useful activity that I will continue to look into. I do not want that cleanup to necessarily detract from this information which I hope can be helpful in understanding and being able to make changes in the future.
A few questions:
