OpenNode is a bare-metal ISO installer for virtualization platforms such as KVM and OpenVZ. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenNode on Fedora Server Latest using the ISO installer.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
First, visit the OpenNode website and download the latest ISO installer to your local machine.
Next, you will need to create a bootable USB drive to install OpenNode on your server. Insert a USB drive into your computer and open the terminal.
Format the USB drive using the mkfs.vfat command:
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb
Note: Replace /dev/sdb with the correct path of your USB device.
Once the format is complete, download and install the dd command to create the bootable USB:
sudo dnf install dd
Using the dd command, copy the OpenNode ISO installer to the USB drive:
sudo dd if=/path/to/opennode.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
Substitute /path/to/opennode.iso with the actual path to your downloaded ISO image, and /dev/sdb with the correct path to your USB device.
Insert the USB drive into your server and boot it. During the boot process, press the appropriate key to access the boot menu and select the USB drive as the boot device.
You should see the OpenNode installer prompt.
From the installer prompt, select Install OpenNode using the arrow keys and press enter.
The installer will detect your hardware and prompt you to configure your network settings. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your network.
Once the network is configured, follow the on-screen instructions to customize your installation settings, such as disk partitioning, root password, and virtualization settings.
The installation process may take some time, depending on your hardware and installation options.
Once the installation is complete, remove the USB drive and reboot your server.
To verify that OpenNode is installed and running correctly, log in to your server using the root account or a sudo user.
You can check the status of the OpenNode service using the systemctl command:
sudo systemctl status opennode
This should display the current status of the OpenNode service.
You can also access the OpenNode web interface by opening a browser and navigating to https://<server-ip>/ui.
Log in with the root account or a sudo user to access the web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenNode on your Fedora Server Latest.
