osinfo-install-script - generate a script for automated installation

osinfo-install-script [OPTIONS...] MEDIA-FILE|OS-ID

Generate a script suitable for performing an automated installation of "MEDIA_FILE" or "OS-ID". "MEDIA_FILE" should be a path to an installer or live media (typically an ISO file). "OS-ID" should be a URI identifying the operating system, or its short ID.

By default a script will be generated for a "JEOS" style install.

--profile=NAME
Choose the installation script profile. Defaults to "jeos", but can also be "desktop", or a site specific profile name
--installation-source=NAME
Set the installation source to be used with the installation script. Defaults to "media", but can also be "network".
--config=key=value
Set the configuration parameter "key" to "value".
--config-file=config-file
Set the configurations parameters according to the config-file passed.

Note that use of --config-file is strongly recommended if the user or admin passwords need to be set. Providing passwords directly using --config= is insecure as the password is visible to all processes and users on the same host.

The following configuration keys are available
"hardware-arch"
The hardware architecture
"l10n-timezone"
The local timezone
"l10n-keyboard"
The local keyboard layout
"l10n-language"
The local language
"admin-password"
The administrator password This option has been deprecated, use --config-file for setting the admin password.
"user-password"
The user password This option has been deprecated, use --config-file for setting the user password.
"user-login"
The user login name
"user-realname"
The user real name
"user-autologin"
Whether to automatically login the user
"user-admin"
Whether to give the user administrative privileges
"reg-product-key"
The software registration key
"reg-login"
The software registration user login
"reg-password"
The software registration user password

The configuration file must consist in a file which contains a "install-script" group and, under this group, "key"="value" pairs, as shown below:

  [install-script]
  l10n-timezone=GMT
  l10n-keyboard=uk
  l10n-language=en_GB
  admin-password=123456
  user-login=berrange
  user-password=123456
  user-realname="Daniel P Berrange"

The following usages generate a Fedora 30 kickstart script:

  # osinfo-install-script \
         --profile jeos \
         --config-file /path/to/config/file \
         fedora30

  # osinfo-install-script \
         --profile jeos \
         --config l10n-timezone=GMT \
         --config l10n-keyboard=uk \
         --config l10n-language=en_GB \
         --config admin-password=123456 \
         --config user-login=berrange \
         --config user-password=123456 \
         --config user-realname="Daniel P Berrange" \
         fedora30

The exit status will be 0 if an install script is generated, or 1 on error
