	== ~~Final Configuration~~ ==		== Next Steps ==
	The ~~only remaining task~~ is ~~to load the ssh credentials for '''root'''~~ and ~~any user accounts. This~~ is ~~done by running the following command from each user account (assuming aslan is the reference source):~~		The rest of the installation process is not OS-dependent and is described [[Common Post-Install\|here]].

	~~scp -r aslan:.ssh $HOME~~

	~~This can also be pushed from aslan to the new system for each account:~~

	~~scp~~ -~~r ~/.ssh <new_host>:~~

	~~Passwords will be required for this action, but (if the copy is successful) no further passwords will be needed by ssh~~.

DrEdWilliams: Created page with "== Fedora Distribution Install == Fedora 31 KDE Workstation install from DVD install disk During install process: * use custom formatting * set partition type to 'standard' *..."

Created page with "== Fedora Distribution Install == Fedora 31 KDE Workstation install from DVD install disk During install process: * use custom formatting * set partition type to 'standard' *..."

New page

== Fedora Distribution Install ==
Fedora 31 KDE Workstation install from DVD install disk
During install process:
* use custom formatting
* set partition type to 'standard'
* click on 'automatically create partitions
* delete /home partition and increase size of / to fill the disk
* set hostname (if known)
* enable all basic network interfaces (do not rename -- it will crash the installer)

== Basic system prep ==
Many of these packages are already installed, but they are needed later, so we just make sure ...
yum -y install net-tools rsync zsh yum-utils mlocate drpm
yum -y install sshfs nfs-utils
yum -y remove firewalld postfix
yum autoremove -y NetworkManager NetworkManager-libnm # only if not using as graphic workstation
yum -y update

Disable SELinux (no comment)
sed -i 's/=enforcing/=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
setenforce 0

Reboot and verify everything comes up properly
reboot

== System Configuration ==
Set the system hostname (if not set during installation)
hostnamectl set-hostname <hostname>.williams.localnet

Enable passwordless sudo:
* use visudo
* search for 'wheel'
* comment out that line
* uncomment the one below it

Set '''zsh''' as the default shell
* chsh to /bin/zsh (both root and ewilliam)
* copy '''ssh''' and '''zsh''' config files (both root and ewilliam)
scp -r calormen:.ssh .
scp calormen:.zshrc .
scp calormen:.zlogin .

Enable the SSH server (why it's not enabled by default is strange ...)
systemctl enable --now sshd

Enable automatic updates. Parameters can be set in the config files '/etc/dnf/automatic.conf'
yum -y install dnf-automatic
systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer

Setup backup to central file server
* copy scripts from calormen
scp calormen:/etc/cron.daily/backup /etc/cron.daily
scp calormen:/usr/local/bin/rsync_backup.sh /usr/local/bin/
* edit rsync_backup.sh, changing target directory and list of directories to backup
* create target directory on storage1 if it doesn't exist
* run /etc/cron.daily/backup to verify proper operation

Enable connection to the central log server scp aslan:/etc/hosts /etc/hosts

scp calormen:/etc/rsyslog.d/99-remotelog.conf /etc/rsyslog.d ; systemctl restart rsyslog

Enable mail to central mail server; SSMTP package is not yet in the CentOS 8 epel repo, so we need to 'borrow' it from CentOS 7
# download ssmtp RPM from somewhere
wget http://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/s/ssmtp-2.64-14.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install ssmtp-2.64-14.el7.x86_64.rpm
echo "root: ewilliam@williams.localnet" >> /etc/aliases
echo "ewilliam: ewilliam@williams.localnet" >> /etc/aliases

enable references to non-williamsnet addresses for development cluster
scp aslan:/etc/hosts /etc/hosts
