This set of scripts allows one to generate an ISO image with a custom set of RPMs and an automated installation script.
The generated ISO can then be restored to a USB key and perform a tailored installation of Fedora, without having to disable Secure Boot.
If you just want to download Fedora official ISOs, this makefile can be of use:
- it will place the official ISO in your download folder
- verify the ISO's integrity using the official checksum
- verify the checksum was signed by Fedora
# To download the Workstation ISO for x86_64:
make download
# You can choose the edition and architecture:
FedoraEdition=Server Architecture=aarch64 make download
# You can even choose the installation method for the server edition:
FedoraEdition=Server Architecture=ppc64le make download FedoraMethod=dvd
# And you can choose between wget and curl
Downloader=curl make downloadDownloadable status as of Fedora 40 :
| Workstation | Server | |
|---|---|---|
x86_64 |
✅ | ✅ |
aarch64 |
❌ | ✅ |
ppc64le |
✅ | ✅ |
s390x |
❌ | ✅ |
For conveniance, you can place all values you want to customize in a local file values.sh:
# Latest Fedora release
FedoraVersion=40-1.14
# Workstation | Server
FedoraEdition=Workstation
# x86_64 | aarch64 | ppc64le | s390x
Architecture=x86_64
# wget | curl (defaults to the first available)
# Downloader=wget
# Used to create the initial user of the OS
UserName=mname
Password=`read -s -p 'Password: ' password && openssl passwd -6 -salt SomeRandomSalt $password`
RootPassword=`read -s -p 'Root Password: ' password && openssl passwd -6 -salt SomeRandomSalt $password`
# Used to sign the bootloader (except WorldRegion that is used with City to specify the timezone)
FullName="My NAME"
[email protected]
WorldRegion=America
CountryCode=US
City=New_York
# Used during installation and on the target system
KeyboardLayouts="us,'cz (qwerty)'"
Languages=en_US
# Languages="--addsupport=en_GB en_US.utf8"
NtpPool=3.fedora.pool.ntp.org
# It is possible to override the timezone (if the City you want mentionned in the certificate is not in https://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/timezones_list.txt)
# TimeZone=America/TorontoThen source the file before calling make:
( set -a && source ./values.sh && make iso )You want an ISO that install a specific set of packages, with a tailored partitioning scheme ? You don't have to write a GRUB configuration file !
Just create a .cfg file with a name starting with entry_ in the kickstart folder, like kickstart/entry_myinstaller.cfg:
# Entry name : "Install things my way" <- Set the name of your entry as it will appear in the GRUB menu
# Include other kickstart files with this special syntax:
%shard common
# It will include kickstart/common.cfg
# And use any official kickstart command:
%packages
@Headless-Management
@Container-Management --optional
