| 09:10 | <err404[m]> Hello all
| |
| 09:10 | can we use ltsp to install machine over the network? (I have a preseed.cfg etc...)
| |
| 09:11 | <alkisg> err404: no, but you can just add an entry in ltsp.ipxe for it, for example:
| |
| 09:11 | https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/wiki/Non-LTSP-iPXE-entries
| |
| 09:11 | So you'd be using dnsmasq, ipxe and nfs to boot the iso, and then it would continue the installation using preseed etc, without using any of the ltsp code
| |
| 09:13 | <err404[m]> ok, thanks
| |
| 09:13 | <alkisg> Another way would be to use ltsp to clone installations; you could maintain your installations as virtualbox images, and have an ipxe menu that loads ltsp, that in turn runs dd
| |
| 09:15 | <err404[m]> yes, my goal is to avoid multiple config, I want use same config for some VM (qemu/kvm with virt-manager) and also the same config for personal computer (booted via ltsp or by the disk drive)
| |
| 09:15 | <alkisg> Btw I think Ubuntu is giving up on preseed.cfg, they've switched to cloud-init
| |
| 09:16 | <err404[m]> yes, I use Debian, with a minimalist preseed.cfg, meaning I will swith to another way (cloud-init or other)
| |
| 09:17 | preseed.cfg is not easy to set, and have some limitations
| |
| 09:18 | <alkisg> I've settled with "a school.deb for dependencies and configuration", and "netboot via ltsp and dd for cloning"
| |
| 09:18 | That way it takes me minimal time to have the same config in any distro, and installation takes 10 minutes = dd...
| |
| 09:19 | (and I didn't have to learn about preseed, ansible, cloud-init etc :D)
| |
| 09:19 | <err404[m]> I cannot use dd, because I have encrypted partitions
| |
| 09:20 | (btw, I can use dd, but it will copy all the encrypted disk, not only the used sectors)
| |
| 09:20 | <alkisg> Can't you maintain an e.g. 10 GB encrypted installation, then dd, then resize and change the key?
| |
| 09:21 | I haven't used full-disk encryption, no idea about it
| |
| 09:22 | <err404[m]> I am still in a experiment stage :p
| |
| 09:23 | (and I already encrypted the wrong disk, loosing many personnal config, needed to reach the backup from the last month... :p )
| |
| 09:25 | <alkisg> Hehe
