Preface + +The satellite_installer script automatically installs a bwLehrpool satellite +server on top of a naked Linux OS. Currently supported is Debian 7.5 wheezy; +it may work also on other Debian based Linux systems as long as packages +(especially Mysql better or equal to Mysql 5.5) are installable via apt-get. +Please keep in mind that several packages will be installed via internet and +some more data files will be fetched via http, so an internet connection is +vital. + +This means of course a viable sources.list including entries equal to this +example: +| deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main +| deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main +| deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main +| deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main + +While it may be wise to update the Debian base system before installing the +bwLehrpool satellite server, the installation should in no way interfere with +any system services so you can (and should!) keep your server always up to date. + +Please remember that a database entry in the master server is needed for any +satellite server to function, as the bwSuite clients will first connect to the +master server which will forward connecting clients via username resoltuion to +an appropriate satellite server. Or, in other words: If this master server +database entry is missing, your satellite server will never see any connect. + + +2. Getting the satellit_installer script + +While this point seems a litte moot, as you are obviously reading this +documentation now and the documentaion here is part of the package, possibly +you got the script as an archive and would like to know how to get an +actualized git version. + +You may verify whether there are updates at the web interface +http://git.openslx.org/slx-admin.git. If you want to check out an actualized +git version use git://git.openslx.org/openslx-ng/slx-admin.git (or +git@git.openslx.org:openslx-ng/slx-admin.git, if your key is known to the +server). + + + |
