| 15:23 | <adbenitez> hello
| |
| 15:25 | can some one give some advice on where I must to put scripts to be excecuted by the thin clients? I read about /opt/ltsp/<arch>/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/ but that dir doesn't exists in my chrootless setup
| |
| 15:26 | <alkisg> executed on boot as root, or on login as the user?
| |
| 15:27 | On boot => systemd unit. On login => /etc/xdg/autostart.
| |
| 15:27 | (or, INIT_COMMAND_XX for very early boot before services start)
| |
| 15:28 | (or, RCFILE_xx)

| 18:35 | <spaced0ut> any links to a clean way to allow all thin clients to be able to login via ssh? when i plug in a new device it hits dhcp and gets 192.168.168.X then X=hostname and username and password. i can only log in as of now if i manually create each user (ltsp77) on the ltsp server
| |
| 18:37 | <alkisg> spaced0ut: what? they already login via ssh...
| |
| 18:37 | ldm is using ssh as the backend
| |
| 18:37 | <spaced0ut> it cant get that far
| |
| 18:37 | unless i create the user manually
| |
| 18:37 | i see the failures in auth.log
| |
| 18:38 | <alkisg> spaced0ut: do you mean that you haven't been able to get ltsp towork at all?
| |
| 18:38 | !install
| |
| 18:38 | <ltsp> install: http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Installation/Ubuntu for Ubuntu, or http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Installation for other distributions
| |
| 18:38 | <spaced0ut> sec
| |
| 18:39 | <alkisg> This is a tutorial for ubuntu, if you haven't managed to set up thin clients before...
| |
| 18:39 | Users are created on the server, not in the chroot etc
| |
| 18:40 | <spaced0ut> So am I misunderstanding that there is a way on the server to set LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True and have clients dynamically generate machine/usernames and add them to the server?
| |
| 18:41 | <alkisg> Yes, those accounts need to preexist
| |
| 18:41 | <spaced0ut> wowow
| |
| 18:41 | <alkisg> But, do you want a kiosk style thing?
| |
| 18:41 | Start with stating your specifications
| |
| 18:42 | <spaced0ut> Lightweight desktop environment. Non-persistent when changes are made on the client side.
| |
| 18:42 | Fat clients. They'll be running browsers mainly and there will be about 200 of them so no need to put that load on the server
| |
| 18:43 | <alkisg> OK, here's the workflow:
| |
| 18:43 | you create a single user named ltsp, with password qwer1234
| |
| 18:43 | You specify LDM_USERNAME=ltsp, LDM_PASSWORD=qwer1234, LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True
| |
| 18:43 | All that's left is to create a "local" home for the users, so that it's different for each "client"
| |
| 18:44 | So, on the server, you set up your /home/ltsp folder as you want it, with the light desktop environment and the browser and the setting etc etc,
| |
| 18:44 | then you make a squashfs image out of it, and you sent it as a template for client /home with nbd
| |
| 18:44 | This way the clients *think* they have a local /home/ltsp, so that you don't need multiple users, when it's actually a cow view of the image you prepared on the server
| |
| 18:45 | <spaced0ut> right on
| |
| 18:45 | thank you so much
| |
| 18:45 | <alkisg> If you want professional help in setting that up quickly, i'm available
| |
| 18:46 | <spaced0ut> I'll get back to you on that monday but i think i can handle it from here.
| |
| 18:46 | <alkisg> np
| |
| 18:47 | <spaced0ut> in my nbd-server.conf the files are readonly
| |
| 18:47 | yet changes on the client side still save across reboots. i just found this out a few minutes ago and was surprised
| |
| 18:47 | exportname = /opt/ltsp/images/amd64.img
| |
| 18:47 | readonly = true
| |
| 18:47 | authfile = /etc/ltsp/nbd-server.allow
| |
| 18:48 | <alkisg> client /home/username by default is served by sshfs, not nbd
| |
| 18:48 | It needs a special cow setup
| |
| 18:51 | <spaced0ut> the single user is working beautifully so far. just have to tackle that part now

| 20:07 | <spaced0ut> ugh. sorry to keep bugging you guys. i'm so close. man nbd-server has examples and when you use them theyre out of date. does anyone have an example nbd-server/conf.d/ltsp_amd64.conf file that specifies a directory being exported? does that also need to be configured on nbd-client as well? it looks like it automounts everything by default but havent confirmed
