Description

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

Setup

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 lines into /etc/exports:
/mnt         192.168.1.0/24(ro,fsid=0)
/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>:/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>:/repo
    • Make sure the repository architecture matches the architecture of your installer media.
  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:/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
