Bootstrapping scripts for SIGMEDIA Linux servers

This repository contains the scripts to bootstrap the SIGMEDIA Linux servers. The assumed distribution is Arch Linux and the scripts configure the following parts:

• Active Directory in order to use the MEE.TCD.IE credentials
• Docker
• NVIDIA/CUDA/CUDNN to support GPU

How to use the scripts

First installation

It follows the classic installation pattern of Arch Linux:

1. execute the different steps up to the arch-chroot (included)
   • for the pacstrap command append git to be able to clone the repository
2. clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/sigmedia/linux-servers-bootstrap.git
3. go to the directory of the cloned repository and call the script 00_pre_reboot_install.sh
   • the script takes two arguments: the hostname (e.g. sigXXX) and the hard drive /dev path to install the bootloader
4. reboot
5. go to the directory of the cloned repository and call the script 01_post_reboot_install.sh
6. reboot and login user your MEE login
7. clone this repository as you not as root: git clone https://github.com/sigmedia/linux-servers-bootstrap.git
8. go to the directory of the cloned repository and call the script 02_userspace_install.sh

Sync to ensure new requested packages are installed

Execute the following command:

(git clone https://github.com/sigmedia/linux-servers-bootstrap.git; cd linux-servers-bootstrap; bash 02_userspace_install.sh)

when finished you can remove the directory linux-servers-bootstrap
