Description

This is to verify that an installation can be performed from a NFS repository configured in the Anaconda GUI.

Setup

  1. You need to have a Fedora repository accessible over an NFS protocol. If you do have it, no further setup is needed. If you don't, you can mount a DVD.iso image and export it over NFS this way:
    • Mount the image over loopback: # mount -o loop Fedora-42-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/repo
    • Install nfs-utils.
    • Let's say your (virtual) test machine is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Put the following line into /etc/exports: 
      /mnt/repo    192.168.1.0/24(ro)
    • Restart NFS service: # systemctl restart nfs-server.service
    • The repository is now accessible over NFS via <your_IP>:/mnt/repo

How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available non-live means (anything except Live.iso)
  2. Change the installation source to point to a custom NFS repository
    • The correct syntax is server:/path, e.g. <your_IP>:/mnt/repo
  3. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. The installer accepts the NFS repository definition
  2. The said repository is used for installation. This can be checked by examining the /tmp/packaging.log file. Example output: 
    14:44:07,093 INFO packaging: mounting 192.168.1.1:/mnt/repo: on /mnt/install/source
...
14:44:07,545 DEBUG packaging: adding yum repo anaconda with baseurl file:///mnt/install/source and mirrorlist None
14:44:07,568 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo fedora
14:44:07,569 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo updates-testing
14:44:07,569 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo updates
  3. The installation completes and the new system initiates boot properly
