After doing the Basic Fedora 31+ Installation, these are the steps required to get the workstation up to general functionality.
It is assumed that either the Fedora Workstation (Gnome desktop) or KDE Plasma spin is used as the base distribution and the desktop is configured and functioning properly.
The additional steps needed fall into several categories:
- System Configuration
- General Utilities
- Communications and Collaboration Tools
- Development Tools
- Extended/Optional Stuff
System Configuration
In addition to the basic installation:
- Mount the /workspace and/or /shared Ceph filesystems (see Ceph Storage Cluster)
- Mount the /files and /backup filesystems from storage1 (NFSv4 mount)
- Configure (or verify) the network devices:
- WilliamsNet (10.0.0.0/24)
- StorageNet (10.1.0.0/24) - optional if needed (if device is available or VLAN device definition)
- iSCSINet (10.2.0.0/24) - optional if needed (may require VLAN device definition
- CUDA + NVIDIA drivers
General Utilities
A collection of tools that are useful in a workstation; some may already be installed, but just covering the bases:
- Cockpit web-based system administration
- Google Chrome
- use the repo-based installation on the Google instructions page so you get updates
- make it the default browser by searching for 'Application' in the KDE settings app and selecting it for the default web browser.
- pdsh - parallel shell
- see pdsh article in ADMIN Magazine
- in fedora repo:
- sudo dnf install -y pdsh pdsh-rcmd-ssh
- by default in fedora, only the rsh module is installed ??
- Synergy (see Synergy Installation
- Java
- either the openjdk in the fedora repo or the 'real stuff' from Oracle
- Oracle Java 8 is required to support java web start applications (like the EquaLogic Group Manager tool)
- Gnome Terminal -- it's just better than the KDE konsole app, though konsole has gotten a lot better
- sudo dnf install -y gnome-terminal
Enable RPM fusion:
$ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm $ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
