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 tftp-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/<release-name>/amd64 cd /srv/tftp/debian/<release-name>/amd64
- Copy
linux
andinitrd.gz
from/usr/lib/debian-installer/images/9/amd64/gtk/debian-installer/amd64/
to/srv/tftp/debian/<release-name>/amd64
- Edit
srv/tftp/boot/grub/grub.cfg
