2 years ago mgr-setup already asks for all the required missing variables. So technically, this issue can be closed.
Can I add the following enhancements in mgr-setup when setup_env.sh is not available?
- [ ] Additional wizard function to check for disk space, hostname, etc
- [ ] More descriptive details in the existing input routine with default values (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/blob/8774e57c4164bed9bda6cfd7f505576d0b991d7c/susemanager/bin/mgr-setup#L736).
- [ ] Should the item above maybe be added into a new function?
- [ ] Final question: Save answers as setup_env.sh and then option to continue installing or quit.
Additional Information
For the installation and migration of Uyuni, a setup_env.sh file with configuration options is required. Currently, this file is created by a wizard using yast2. To remove the dependency to yast2, a simple standalone wizard should be created as alternative. This will allow non-SUSE distributions.
Current installation Process:
yast2 --> /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/mgr-setup --> spacewalk-setup
Suggested Installation Process:
< new wizard > --> /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/mgr-setup --> spacewalk-setup
Alternative Installation Process:
/usr/lib/susemanager/bin/mgr-setup --> ( no "/root/setup_env.sh" ? run < new wizard > ) --> spacewalk-setup
Version of Uyuni Server
Uyuni-Server-release: 2020.11 and master.
Details about issue
Current yast2 wizard takes the wizard from the folder/files: susemanager/yast/susemanager_*.rb and writes the output to /root/setup_env.sh
Attached are some text copies of (some of) the screens. setupscript.txt
Additional requirements
On LEAP systems, a message is displayed on the hardware console before login informing about the installation status. This message should be updated/made compliant for this new wizard. (See #4402 )
