Désactivation de SELinux

/etc/selinux/config

SELINUX=disabled

setenforce 0

Après l'activation des dépôts EPEL

yum install cobbler-web cobbler dhcp xinetd
systemctl start xinetd

On cherche le nom du service

#rpm -q --filesbypkg cobbler |grep systemd
rpm -ql cobbler |grep systemd

/usr/lib/systemd/system/cobblerd.service

systemctl start cobblerd.service
systemctl status cobblerd.service
systemctl enable cobblerd.service
 
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd

/etc/cobbler/settings

# IP du serveur Web Cobbler. Koan devra pouvoir joindre cette IP
server: 192.168.100.159

# IP du serveur Cobbler/PXE (interface qui fera office de DHCP)
next_server: 192.168.102.1

manage_dhcp: 1

Souvent server et next_server aurons la même adresse IP. Dans mon cas, j'ai mis Cobbler dans une VM en CentOS. La VM cobbler ici à deux interfaces réseaux :

• 192.168.100.159 Sur réseau NAT, qui peut sortir sur internet pour les yum install et autres
• 192.168.102.1 Sur réseau isolé, destiné au PXE et au DHCP

Après avoir modifié ce fichier

systemctl restart cobblerd.service

cobbler check

The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : For PXE to be functional, the 'next_server' field in /etc/cobbler/settings must be set to something other than 127.0.0.1, and should match the IP of the boot server on the PXE network.
2 : SELinux is enabled. Please review the following wiki page for details on ensuring cobbler works correctly in your SELinux environment:
    https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Selinux
3 : some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to download them, or, if you only want to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely.  Files in this directory, should you want to support all architectures, should include pxelinux.0, menu.c32, elilo.efi, and yaboot. The 'cobbler get-loaders' command is the easiest way to resolve these requirements.
4 : enable and start rsyncd.service with systemctl
5 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
6 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart
7 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobbler/settings) is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new one
8 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to use them

Nous continuons de suivre les recommendations de cobbler check

cobbler get-loaders

yum install pykickstart

systemctl start rsyncd.service
systemctl enable rsyncd.service

openssl passwd -1

On change le default_password_crypted de /etc/cobbler/settings

systemctl restart cobblerd.service

cobbler sync

Soit nous utiliserons Preseed, le systeme de Debian/Ubuntu

Soit nous utiliserons Kickstart, le système de RedHat/CentOS partiellement porté sur Ubuntu

PS : C'est que je n'ai pas suivi correctement la doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cobbler/Import

De plus il faut faire

On jette un œil dans

• http://cobbler.github.io/signatures/2.6.x/latest.json
• /var/lib/cobbler/distro_signatures.json

Solution

cobbler signature update

et mettre le bon --os-version

cobbler import --name=ubuntu-server --path=/mnt --breed=ubuntu --os-version=xenial --arch=x86_64

Pour info :

trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-server-x86_64 -> /var/www/cobbler/links/ubuntu-server-x86_64

Un profile a été crée

cobbler profile list

ubuntu-server-x86_64

Copions-le

cobbler profile copy --name=ubuntu-server-x86_64 --newname=buntutest1

Interface d'administration Web Cobbler https://192.168.100.159/cobbler_web
utilisateur : cobbler
pass : cobbler

Sur le serveur Cobbler --interface OK ?

cobbler system add --profile=CentOS-7-x86_64 --name=test01 --mac=52:54:00:DD:EE:FF --interface=eth0

Sur l'hyperviseur

koan --virt --wait=-1 --system=test01 --virt-bridge=virbr0

Voir Notes debmirror

yum install debmirror

Une fois que debmirror est configuré

cobbler reposync --only=ubuntu-server-x86_64

Exemple

cobbler system remove --name=ttest02
cobbler profile remove --name=ubuntu-server-16.04.vm
cobbler profile remove --name=ubuntu-server-x86_64
cobbler distro remove --name=ubuntu-server-x86_64
cobbler repo remove --name=ubuntu-server-x86_64
