This is useful and time-saving if you have to deploy tens or hundreds of similar systems (e.g. workstations). Kickstart reads the installation settings from a Kickstart configuration file. The problem with Kickstart is that it usually uses the distribution's packages from the time the distribution was released, i.e., it does not consider updates which means you would have to update each system manually after the Kickstart installation. This guide explains how you can do up-to-date Kickstart installations with the help of a tool called novi. falko Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:09:39 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-backups-with-areca-on-fedora9 Areca is a personal file backup software developed in Java. It allows you to select files or directories to back up, filter, encrypt and compress their content, and store them on your backup location. Areca supports incremental backups and generates backup reports, which can be stored on your disk or sent by email. This guide explains how to install and use it on a Fedora 9 desktop (GNOME). falko Sun, 01 Jun 2008 08:23:14 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-backups-with-fwbackups-on-fedora-8 This document describes how to set up, configure and use Fwbackups on a Fedora 8 desktop. The result is an easy-to-use backup system for desktop usage. Fwbackups creates partial backups which can be stored locally or on a removable device. You have also the option to run scheduled backups. falko Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:30:48 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/backup-with-pybackpack-on-fedora8 This document describes how to set up, configure and use Pybackpack on Fedora 8. The result is an easy to use backup system for desktop usage. Pybackpack creates incremental backups which can be stored locally or remotely (SSH) - the usage of removable devices is supported. You also have the option to burn the backup(s) directly on a CD/DVD. falko Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:12:03 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/chroot_ssh_sftp_fedora7 This document describes how to set up a chrooted SSH/SFTP environment on Fedora 7. The chrooted users will be jailed in a specific directory where they cannot break out. They will be able to access their jail via SSH and SFTP. falko Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:51:16 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooting-apache2-with-mod_chroot-on-fedora-12 This guide explains how to set up mod_chroot with Apache2 on a Fedora 12 system. With mod_chroot, you can run Apache2 in a secure chroot environment and make your server less vulnerable to break-in attempts that try to exploit vulnerabilities in Apache2 or your installed web applications. falko Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:28:40 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-an-nfs-like-standalone-storage-server-with-glusterfs-on-fedora-12 This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Fedora 12. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA. falko Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:55:31 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-virtual-redhat-centos-scientific-linux-fedora-appliances-for-kvm-with-boxgrinder-fedora-17 BoxGrinder is a tool that allows you to build virtual machines (with RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux or Fedora as the OS) for multiple virtualization techniques. Currently it supports KVM, VMware, Amazon EC2, VirtualBox, and VirtualPC. This tutorial shows how to use BoxGrinder to create a CentOS 6 KVM guest on Fedora 17 and also how to deploy it to a remote KVM host. falko Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:00:12 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/distributed-replicated-storage-across-four-storage-nodes-with-glusterfs-on-fedora-12 This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Fedora 12) to a distributed replicated storage with GlusterFS. Nodes 1 and 2 (replication1) as well as 3 and 4 (replication2) will mirror each other, and replication1 and replication2 will be combined to one larger storage server (distribution). Basically, this is RAID10 over network. If you lose one server from replication1 and one from replication2, the distributed volume continues to work. The client system (Fedora 12 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes.
