-Installation
-############
-
-VyOS installation requires to download a VyOS .iso file. That file is
-a live install image that lets you boot a live VyOS. From that live
-system you can proceed to the permanent installation on a hard drive or
-any other type of storage.
-
-
-Hardware requirements
-=====================
-
-The minimum system requirements are 512 MiB RAM and 2 GiB storage.
-Depending on your use you might need additional RAM and CPU resources e.g.
-when having multiple BGP full tables in your system.
-
-Download
-========
-
-Registered Subscribers
-----------------------
-
-Registered subscribers can log into https://support.vyos.io/ to have access to
-a variety of different downloads via the "Downloads" link. These downloads
-include LTS (Long-Term-Support) and associated hot-fix releases, early public
-access releases, pre-built VM images, as well as device specific installation
-ISOs.
-
-.. figure:: /_static/images/vyos-downloads.png
-
-Building from source
-----------------------
-
-Non-subscribers can always get the LTS release by building it from source.
-Instruction can be found in the :ref:`build` section of this manual. VyOS
-source code repository is available for everyone at
-https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.
-
-Rolling Release
----------------
-
-Everyone can download bleeding-edge VyOS rolling images from:
-https://downloads.vyos.io/
-
-.. note:: Rolling releases contain all the latest enhancements and fixes. This
- means that there will be new bugs of course. If you think you hit a bug
- please follow the guide at :ref:`bug_report`. To improve VyOS we depend on
- your feedback!
-
-The following link will always fetch the most recent VyOS build for AMD64
-systems from the current branch:
-https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-rolling-latest.iso
-
-
-Download Verification
----------------------
-
-LTS images are signed by VyOS lead package-maintainer private key. With
-the official public key, the authenticity of the package can be
-verified. :abbr:`GPG (GNU Privacy Guard)` is used for verification.
-
-.. note:: This subsection only applies e applies to LTS images, for
- Rolling images please jump to :ref:`live_installation`.
-
-Preparing for the verification
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-First, install GPG or another OpenPGP implementation. On most GNU+Linux
-distributions it is installed by default as package managers use it to
-verify package signatures. If not pre-installed, it will need to be
-downloaded and installed.
-
-The official VyOS public key can be retrieved in a number of ways. Skip
-to :ref:`gpg-verification` if the key is already present.
-
-It can be retrieved directly from a key server:
-
-``gpg --recv-keys FD220285A0FE6D7E``
-
-Or it can be accessed via a web browser:
-
-https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFD220285A0FE6D7E
-
-Or from the following block:

-
-Live installation
-=================
-
-.. note:: A permanent VyOS installation always requires to go first
- through a live installation.
-
-VyOS, as other GNU+Linux distributions, can be tasted without installing
-it in your hard drive. **With your downloaded VyOS .iso file you can
-create a bootable USB drive that will let you boot into a fully
-functional VyOS system**. Once you have tested it, you can either decide
-to begin a :ref:`permanent_installation` in your hard drive or power
-your system off, remove the USB drive, and leave everythng as it was.
-
-
-If you have a GNU+Linux system, you can create your VyOS bootable USB
-stick with with the ``dd`` command:
-
- 1. Open your terminal emulator.
-
- 2. Find out the device name of your USB drive (you can use the ``lsblk``
- command)
-
- 3. Unmount the USB drive. Replace X in the example below with the
- letter of your device and keep the asterisk (wildcard) to unmount
- all partitions.
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- $ umount /dev/sdX*
-
- 4. Write the image (your VyOS .iso file) to the USB drive.
- Note that here you want to use the device name (e.g. /dev/sdb), not
- the partition name (e.g. /dev/sdb1).
-
- **Warning**: This will destroy all data on the USB drive!
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- # dd if=/path/to/vyos.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync
-
- 5. Wait until you get the outcome (bytes copied). Be patient, in some
- computers it might take more than one minute.
-
- 6. Once ``dd`` has finished, pull the USB drive out and plug it into
- the powered-off computer where you want to install (or test) VyOS.
-
- 7. Power the computer on, making sure it boots from the USB drive (you
- might need to select booting device or change booting settings).
-
- 8. Once VyOS is completely loaded, enter the default credentials
- (login: vyos, password: vyos).
-
-
-If you find difficulties with this method, prefer to use a GUI program,
-or have a different operating system, there are other programs you can
-use to create a bootable USB drive, like balenaEtcher_ (for GNU/Linux,
-macOS and Windows), Rufus_ (for Windows) and `many others`_. You can
-follow their instructions to create a bootable USB drive from an .iso
-file.
-
-.. hint:: The default username and password for the live system is *vyos*.
-
-
-.. _permanent_installation:
-
-Permanent installation
-======================
-
-.. note:: Before a permanent installation, VyOS requires a :ref:`live_installation`.
-
-Unlike general purpose Linux distributions, VyOS uses "image installation" that
-mimics the user experience of traditional hardware routers and allows keeping
-multiple VyOS versions installed simultaneously. This makes it possible to
-switch to a previous version if something breaks or miss-behaves after an image
-upgrade.
-
-Every version is contained in its own squashfs image that is mounted in a union
-filesystem together with a directory for mutable data such as configurations,
-keys, or custom scripts.
-
-.. note:: Older versions (prior to VyOS 1.1) used to support non-image
- installation (``install system`` command). Support for this has been removed
- from VyOS 1.2 and newer releases. Older releases can still be upgraded via
- the general ``add system image <image_path>`` upgrade command (consult
- :ref:`image-mgmt` for further information).
-
-
-In order to proceed with a permanent installation:
-
- 1. Log into the VyOS live system (use the default credentials: vyos,
- vyos)
-
- 2. Run the ``install image`` command and follow the wizard:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ install image
- Welcome to the VyOS install program. This script
- will walk you through the process of installing the
- VyOS image to a local hard drive.
- Would you like to continue? (Yes/No) [Yes]: Yes
- Probing drives: OK
- Looking for pre-existing RAID groups...none found.
- The VyOS image will require a minimum 2000MB root.
- Would you like me to try to partition a drive automatically
- or would you rather partition it manually with parted? If
- you have already setup your partitions, you may skip this step
-
- Partition (Auto/Parted/Skip) [Auto]:
-
- I found the following drives on your system:
- sda 4294MB
-
- Install the image on? [sda]:
-
- This will destroy all data on /dev/sda.
- Continue? (Yes/No) [No]: Yes
-
- How big of a root partition should I create? (2000MB - 4294MB) [4294]MB:
-
- Creating filesystem on /dev/sda1: OK
- Done!
- Mounting /dev/sda1...
- What would you like to name this image? [1.2.0-rolling+201809210337]:
- OK. This image will be named: 1.2.0-rolling+201809210337
- Copying squashfs image...
- Copying kernel and initrd images...
- Done!
- I found the following configuration files:
- /opt/vyatta/etc/config.boot.default
- Which one should I copy to sda? [/opt/vyatta/etc/config.boot.default]:
-
- Copying /opt/vyatta/etc/config.boot.default to sda.
- Enter password for administrator account
- Enter password for user 'vyos':
- Retype password for user 'vyos':
- I need to install the GRUB boot loader.
- I found the following drives on your system:
- sda 4294MB
-
- Which drive should GRUB modify the boot partition on? [sda]:
-
- Setting up grub: OK
- Done!
-
-
- 3. After the installation is complete, remove the live USB stick or
- CD.
-
- 4. Reboot the system.
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ reboot
- Proceed with reboot? (Yes/No) [No] Yes
-
- You will boot now into a permanent VyOS system.
-
-
-PXE Boot
-========
-
-VyOS can also be installed through PXE. This is a more complex
-installation method which allows deploying VyOS through the network.
-
-**Requirements**
-
-* Clients (where VyOS is to be installed) with a PXE-enabled NIC
-* :ref:`dhcp-server`
-* :ref:`tftp-server`
-* Webserver (HTTP) - optional, but we will use it to speed up installation
-* VyOS ISO image to be installed (do not use images prior to VyOS 1.2.3)
-* Files *pxelinux.0* and *ldlinux.c32* `from the Syslinux distribution <https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/>`_
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-Step 1: DHCP
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Configure a DHCP server to provide the client with:
-
-* An IP address
-* The TFTP server address (DHCP option 66). Sometimes referred as *boot server*
-* The *bootfile name* (DHCP option 67), which is *pxelinux.0*
-
-In this example we configured an existent VyOS as the DHCP server:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# show service dhcp-server
- shared-network-name mydhcp {
- subnet 192.168.1.0/24 {
- bootfile-name pxelinux.0
- bootfile-server 192.168.1.50
- default-router 192.168.1.50
- range 0 {
- start 192.168.1.70
- stop 192.168.1.100
- }
- }
- }
-
-.. _install_from_tftp:
-
-Step 2: TFTP
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Configure a TFTP server so that it serves the following:
-
-* The *pxelinux.0* file from the Syslinux distribution
-* The *ldlinux.c32* file from the Syslinux distribution
-* The kernel of the VyOS software you want to deploy. That is the
- *vmlinuz* file inside the */live* directory of the extracted
- contents from the ISO file.
-* The initial ramdisk of the VyOS ISO you want to deploy. That is the
- *initrd.img* file inside the */live* directory of the extracted
- contents from the ISO file. Do not use an empty (0 bytes) initrd.img
- file you might find, the correct file may have a longer name.
-* A directory named pxelinux.cfg which must contain the configuration
- file. We will use the configuration_ file shown below, which we named
- default_.
-
-.. _configuration: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config
-.. _default: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX#Configuration
-
-In the example we configured our existent VyOS as the TFTP server too:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# show service tftp-server
- directory /config/tftpboot
- listen-address 192.168.1.50
-
-Example of the contents of the TFTP server:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# ls -hal /config/tftpboot/
- total 29M
- drwxr-sr-x 3 tftp tftp 4.0K Oct 14 00:23 .
- drwxrwsr-x 9 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 18 00:05 ..
- -r--r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg 25M Oct 13 23:24 initrd.img-4.19.54-amd64-vyos
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root vyattacfg 120K Oct 13 23:44 ldlinux.c32
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg 46K Oct 13 23:24 pxelinux.0
- drwxr-xr-x 2 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 14 01:10 pxelinux.cfg
- -r--r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg 3.7M Oct 13 23:24 vmlinuz
-
- vyos@vyos# ls -hal /config/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
- total 12K
- drwxr-xr-x 2 root vyattacfg 4.0K Oct 14 01:10 .
- drwxr-sr-x 3 tftp tftp 4.0K Oct 14 00:23 ..
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191 Oct 14 01:10 default
-
-Example of simple (no menu) configuration file:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- vyos@vyos# cat /config/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
- DEFAULT VyOS123
-
- LABEL VyOS123
- KERNEL vmlinuz
- APPEND initrd=initrd.img-4.19.54-amd64-vyos boot=live nopersistence noautologin nonetworking fetch=http://address:8000/filesystem.squashfs
-
-Step 3: HTTP
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-We also need to provide the *filesystem.squashfs* file. That is a heavy
-file and TFTP is slow, so you could send it through HTTP to speed up the
-transfer. That is how it is done in our example, you can find that in
-the configuration file above.
-
-**First** run a web server - you can use a simple one like
-`Python's SimpleHTTPServer`_ and start serving the `filesystem.squashfs`
-file. The file can be found inside the `/live` directory of the
-extracted contents of the ISO file.
-
-**Second**, edit the configuration file of the :ref:`install_from_tftp`
-so that it shows the correct URL at
-``fetch=http://<address_of_your_HTTP_server>/filesystem.squashfs``.
-
-.. note:: Do not change the name of the *filesystem.squashfs* file. If
- you are working with different versions, you can create different
- directories instead.
-
-And **third**, restart the TFTP service. If you are using VyOS as your
-TFTP Server, you can restart the service with
-``sudo service tftpd-hpa restart``.
-
-.. note:: Make sure the available directories and files in both TFTP
- and HTTP server have the right permissions to be accessed from the
- booting clients.
-
-.. _`Python's SimpleHTTPServer`: https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html
-
-Client Boot
------------
-
-Finally, turn on your PXE-enabled client or clients. They will
-automatically get an IP address from the DHCP server and start booting
-into VyOS live from the files automatically taken from the TFTP and HTTP
-servers.
-
-Once finished you will be able to proceed with the ``install image``
-command as in a regular VyOS installation.
-
-
-
-Known Issues
-============
-
-This is a list of known issues that can arise during installation.
-
-Black screen on install
------------------------
-
-GRUB attempts to redirect all output to a serial port for ease of installation on headless hosts.
-This appears to cause an hard lockup on some hardware that lacks a serial port, with the result being a
-black screen after selecting the `Live system` option from the installation image.
-
-The workaround is to type `e` when the boot menu appears and edit the GRUB boot options. Specifically, remove the:
-
-`console=ttyS0,115200`
-
-option, and type CTRL-X to boot.
-
-Installation can then continue as outlined above.
