How to Install OPSI on Fedora Server Latest

OPSI is an open source client management system that allows you to centrally manage and distribute software, patches, and configurations to your networked clients. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing OPSI on Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora Server Latest system with root privileges
• Basic knowledge of Linux command line

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, you need to install the necessary dependencies for OPSI to work properly. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo dnf install samba samba-client samba-common samba-winbind-clients perl-DBI perl-DBD-Mysql perl-JSON-XS perl-file-copy-recursive perl-Net-IP perl-Net-DHCP perl-Proc-Daemon perl-Proc-Simple perl-Archive-Zip

Step 2: Download OPSI

You can download the latest version of OPSI from their official website at http://download.uib.de/opsi4.1/.

cd /tmp
wget http://download.uib.de/opsi4.1/opsi4.1.1.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract and Install OPSI

Once the download is complete, extract the archive and change directory to the extracted folder.

tar -zxvf opsi4.1.1.tar.gz
cd opsi4.1.1

Next, run the installation script.

sudo sh setup.sh

The installation script will guide you through the installation process. You can choose from different installation modes, depending on your needs.

Step 4: Configure OPSI

After the installation is complete, you need to configure OPSI by running the opsi-admin command as root.

sudo opsi-admin -d method setup

The setup command will guide you through the configuration process. You will need to provide details like the database server details, admin user credentials, and so on.

Step 5: Start OPSI Services

Once you have configured OPSI, you need to start the required services.

sudo systemctl start rpcbind nfs-server smb

You can also enable the services to start at system boot.

sudo systemctl enable rpcbind nfs-server smb

Step 6: Access OPSI Web Interface

Finally, you can access the OPSI web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http:///opsi/. You can log in with the admin user credentials you provided during the configuration process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OPSI on your Fedora Server Latest system. You can now start managing and distributing software, patches, and configurations to your networked clients using OPSI's powerful features.
