Hello there, First: I got it running, it just looks difficult and I'm just wondering whether there is a simpler way. Second: If there is no simpler way, I want to provide my "howto" for others, hoping it will save them hours of searching and trying.
I wanted to add my own (signed) Debian repository to get some customized packages in my FAI-installations. The packages should be installed during initial INSTALL and not during a SOFTUPDATE and I don't want to mess around with multiple (time- wasting) "apt update" and "apt install" calls in scripts/DEFAULT/10- own-repo.sh. Sadly my webspace provider automatically switches to https, even when http is requested (e.g. in sources.list). Here are the modifications that I made: FAI-configspace: - add the repo-key to e.g. DEFAULT.asc - fcopy sources.list Result: works, but my own packages only get installed during softupdate and not with install. Okay, I have to include them in the NFSROOT: - copy the key to /etc/fai/apt/keys/DEFAULT.asc - copy sources.list to /etc/fai/apt/sources.list, too. - of course pnupg must be present, too. (File: /etc/fai/NFSROOT) Result after rebuilding the NFSROOT: I get an "taskerror 742" during installation. software.log says that apt couldn't retrieve the Release-file of my repo. Some google-ing told me to add the packages apt-transport-https and ca- certificates. So I added them to my NFSROOT (installing them directly in the existing nfsroot / putting them in /etc/fai/NFSROOT and rebuilding it), but I still got an error during task updatebase. Obviously you have to include these two packages in your basefile base.tar.xz (=the later client-system) and not the nfsroot. So you have to edit /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=info --include=apt-transport-https,ca- certificates" and rebuild basefile and nfsroot. Christian
