Hi,
I would like to install OpenIndiana on few machines. To get the same
(and easily reproducible) results I'd like to utilize some kind of
automatic installation.
Since AI (auto_install) was removed from OpenIndiana about 5 years back
there seems to be no way to do the automatic OpenIndiana installation
now.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
Hi Marcel
If you would like to beta test you could try my illumos-installer work [0]
You will need rustup, cargo and cargo-make installed. cargo-make can be
installed via `cargo install cargo-make` then run `makers package_ips`
to build and IPS package under the cargo target directory. You will need
an image to `dd` to the disk. One can use the illumos image builder to
generate one from IPS packages.
It will require some scripting I could only get the config process
reasonably automated thus far. Installing an image or from packages with
pkg -r will require a ramdisk ISO and a shellscript. Although it is
probably the easiest to modify the existing ISO in distro const and then
having a service method do the lifting of grabbing the install shell
script and executing it.
