CentOS7安装cobbler

1. 介绍

Cobbler是一个Linux服务器安装的服务，可以通过网络启动(PXE)的方式来快速安装、重装物理服务器和虚拟机，同时还可以管理DHCP，DNS等。

Cobbler可以使用命令行方式管理，也提供了基于Web的界面管理工具(cobbler-web)，还提供了API接口，可以方便二次开发使用。

Cobbler是较早前的kickstart的升级版，优点是比较容易配置，还自带web界面比较易于管理。

Cobbler内置了一个轻量级配置管理系统，但它也支持和其它配置管理系统集成，如Puppet，暂时不支持SaltStack。

//配置epel源
[root@localhost ~]# dnf install -y epel-release

//安装cobbler以及相关的软件
[root@localhost ~]# dnf module enable cobbler -y 
[root@localhost ~]# dnf install cobbler -y
[root@localhost ~]# dnf -y install dhcp-* tftp xinetd pykickstart cobbler-web syslinux

//设置开机自启
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now httpd
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now cobblerd
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cobblerd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cobblerd.service.
[root@localhost ~]#

//修改server的IP为本机IP
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/^server: 127.0.0.1/server: 192.168.8.137/' /etc/cobbler/settings.yaml

//设置tftp的ip地址为本机ip
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/^next_server: 127.0.0.1/next_server: 192.168.8.137/' /etc/cobbler/settings.yaml

//启动rsync并设置开机自启
[root@localhost cobbler]# systemctl enable --now rsyncd

//开启tftp
[root@localhost cobbler]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

//生成加密的密码，然后再打开DHCP功能
[root@localhost cobbler]# openssl passwd -1

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/cobbler/settings.d/nsupdate.settings
# Set to "true" to enable Cobbler's dynamic DNS updates.
  nsupdate_enabled: True   //将flase修改True

//在linux8系统里面下载缺失文件
