osinfo-install-script - generate a script for automated installation

osinfo-install-script [OPTIONS…] MEDIA-FILE|OS-ID

Generate a script suitable for performing an automated installation of MEDIA_FILE or OS-ID. MEDIA_FILE should be a path to an installer or live media (typically an ISO file). OS-ID should be a URI identifying the operating system, or its short ID.

By default a script will be generated for a JEOS style install.

–profile=NAME

Choose the installation script profile. Defaults to jeos, but can also be desktop, or a site specific profile name

–installation-source=NAME

Set the installation source to be used with the installation script. Defaults to media, but can also be network.

–config=key=value

Set the configuration parameter key to value.

–config-file=config-file

Set the configurations parameters according to the config-file passed. Note that use of –config-file is strongly recommended if the user or admin passwords need to be set. Providing passwords directly using –config= is insecure as the password is visible to all processes and users on the same host.

The following configuration keys are available

“hardware-arch”

The hardware architecture

“l10n-timezone”

The local timezone

“l10n-keyboard”

The local keyboard layout

“l10n-language”

The local language

“admin-password”

The administrator password This option has been deprecated, use –config-file for setting the admin password.

“user-password”

The user password This option has been deprecated, use –config-file for setting the user password.

“user-login”

The user login name

“user-realname”

The user real name

“user-autologin”

Whether to automatically login the user

“user-admin”

Whether to give the user administrative privileges

“reg-product-key”

The software registration key

“reg-login”

The software registration user login

“reg-password”

The software registration user password

The configuration file must consist in a file which contains a install-script group and, under this group, key===value pairs, as shown below:

[install-script] l10n-timezone=GMT l10n-keyboard=uk l10n-language=en_GB admin-password=123456 user-login=berrange user-password=123456 user-realname=“Daniel P Berrange”

The following usages generate a Fedora 30 kickstart script:

/path/to/config/file \ fedora30 # osinfo-install-script \ –profile jeos \ –config l10n-timezone=GMT \ –config l10n-keyboard=uk \ –config l10n-language=en_GB \ –config admin-password=123456 \ –config user-login=berrange \ –config user-password=123456 \ –config user-realname=“Daniel P Berrange” \ fedora30

The exit status will be 0 if an install script is generated, or 1 on error
