Re: Need help on deploying bullseye
Hi, Perfect! Your indications put me in the right direction! I am able to deploy bullseye now. It's far for being perfect but it works! I will share my finding here soon. Thanks again! R.

Hi, On 18.07.22 17:19, Romain Pelissier wrote: I have herited of an already FAI setup that deploy debian buster using pxe and it works great! Now, I try to use it to deploy bullseye but even if I have ready the documentation I am still not sure how to proceed with the correct steps... Should I modify the existing config or create a new one dedicated to bullseye and point my server pxe boot to this one? Even if I set /srv/fai/config/class/DEBIAN.var with release=bullseye it's not working.. Let me know if you want me to share some config files. we kind of "cheated" to install different OS by just setting our own custom variable, e.g. "OS_DEBIAN_BULLSEYE_AMD64" via a class script, e.g. class/50-host-classes. We then only have to provide a few extra files, namely ./basefiles/OS_DEBIAN_BULLSEYE_AMD64.tar.xz (this tarball will be extracted from the NFSroot to /target, created via /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple/basefiles/mk-basefile) ./files/etc/apt/sources.list/OS_DEBIAN_BULLSEYE_AMD64 base list of sources to install from ./hooks/instsoft.OS_DEBIAN_BULLSEYE_AMD64 this hook simply performs a few things for us, namely fcopy, e.g. #!/bin/bash fcopy -Bi /etc/apt/sources.list $ROOTCMD apt-get update Does this help to get you started?

Re: Need help on deploying bullseye
Hey Romain, I think that unfortunately the answer to your question is "it depends". With the FAI setup that I use for servers, we can deploy most releases of Ubuntu and Debian. But I've spent quite a bit of effort making it work that way. Our desktop support team only support one version of Ubuntu with their FAI setup, and adjust it for the next LTS when they're ready.
