Server Setup


Hardware and Software Requirements
Requirement Description
openSUSE Tumbleweed Clean installation, up-to-date
Multi-core CPU x86_64 or aarch64
16GB RAM * Sufficient for testing purposes
100GB Disk Space ** Disk space depends on your channel requirements

Quickstart Installation Instructions

Please note Uyuni requires FQDNs for the Server, Proxy and clients, so usage of a properly-configured DNS server is mandatory for client updates to work.

If you want to install Uyuni in lab mode, for testing, you may be interested in how to easily make use of libvirt's included dnsmasq DNS and DHCP server: Libvirt DNS and DCHP without Avahi.

1. Update openSUSE Tumbleweed

# zypper dup

2. Reboot the system if needed

3. Configure a resolvable fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

4. Add the Uyuni Server repository:

# zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Master/images/repo/Uyuni-Server-POOL-$(arch)-Media1/ uyuni-server-devel In case of using a different host OS (Ubuntu, Debian...), in general anything not based on (open)SUSE products), use the relevant repository from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Master:/ContainerUtils/

5. Refresh the repository list and accept the key:

# zypper ref

6. Install the product:

# zypper in -t product Uyuni-Server In case of using a different host OS (Ubuntu, Debian...), in general anything not based on (open)SUSE products), the packages to be installed are: mgradm mgrctl mgradm-bash-completion podman uyuni-storage-setup-server IMPORTANT: podman >= 4.5.0 is required

7. From the terminal run the following command as root:

# mgradm install podman --registry registry.opensuse.org/systemsmanagement/uyuni/master/containerfile

8. Input a password for the CA certificate, an administrative account password and your email for notifications:

2:09PM INF Starting mgradm install podman

Password for the CA key to generate:
Confirm the password:
Administrator password:

9. The container will take some minutes to deploy.

Once the setup assistant is ready, you will be able to access the WebUI at https://<FQDN>/

From that point you can start working with the Uyuni Server.
