= How do I do a network based installation in Telehouse? = robideau is configured to offer a Debian jessie installer, stretch installer and memtest via the network (via tftp) in our Telehouse location. If you would like to use it, follow these steps: * Determine the MAC address of the network device you are using * On robideau, * Edit /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and add a stanza for the server so it is "known" * start the DHCP server: {{{ systemctl start isc-dhcp-server }}} * start the tftp server: {{{ systemctl start tftpd-hpa }}} * Configure the target server to boot from the network device * You should be all set. * After you are done, be sure to shutdown the dhcpd and tftp services == Setup == If you want to download the installer for a newer version of debian: * Either on robideau (or on your laptop if it is not available on robideau), install: `apt-get install debian-installer-9-netboot-amd64` (replace "9" with the version you want) * On robideau, make the directory: {{{ mkdir -p /srv/tftp/debian//amd64 cd /srv/tftp/debian//amd64 }}} * Copy `linux` and `initrd.gz` from `/usr/lib/debian-installer/images/9/amd64/gtk/debian-installer/amd64/` to `/srv/tftp/debian//amd64` * Edit `srv/tftp/boot/grub/grub.cfg`
