Quickstart Installation Instructions

Please note Uyuni requires FQDNs for the Server, Proxy and clients, so usage of a properly-configured DNS server is mandatory for client updates to work.

If you want to install Uyuni in lab mode, for testing, you may be interested in how to easily make use of libvirt's included dnsmasq DNS and DHCP server: Libvirt DNS and DCHP without Avahi.

1. Update openSUSE Leap Micro 5.5:

# transactional-update

2. Reboot the system

3. Configure a resolvable fully quallified domain name (FQDN)

4. Enter the transactional shell:

# transactional-update shell

5. Add the Uyuni Server repository:

# zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable/images/repo/Uyuni-Server-POOL-x86_64-Media1/ uyuni-server-stable

6. Refresh the repository list and accept the key:

# zypper ref

7. Install the container tools:

# zypper in mgradm mgrctl mgradm-bash-completion mgrctl-bash-completion

8. Reboot the host

9. From the terminal run the following command as root:

# mgradm install podman

10. Input a password for the CA certificate, an administrative account password and your email for notifications:

# mgradm install podman
3:07PM INF Welcome to mgradm
3:07PM INF Executing command: podman
Password for the CA certificate to generate:
Administrator password:
