[virt-install PATCH v2 00/14] Add support for unattended installations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series add support for *network* (--location) unattended
installations of a few OSes that libosinfo/osinfo-db provides support
for:
- Fedora;
- CentOS;
- RHEL;
- Debian;
- openSUSE;
- Ubuntu*;

*: Ubuntu needs some pending patches for osinfo-db;

One example** of how to perform a unattended installation is:
`virt-install \
    --name fedora29 \
    --os-variant fedora29 \
    --unattended profile=desktop`

**: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2019-February/msg00173.html
    is needed in order to have the example above working properly

The TODO list:
- Work on Linuxes medias ("--cdrom") unattended installations:
  This will make me bump libosinfo dep to 1.4.0 and we'll also require
  some patches for osinfo-db;
- Work on Windowses medias ("--cdrom") unattended installations:
- Tests, tests, tests ...
- Update man-pages

- Changes since v1:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-February/msg00032.html
  - Tried to address comments 2, 2, 4 from Cole's review***, although I
    didn't get to write tests for those changes (yet)
