How do I start drbl without rebuilding every image, every time?

Open sydneybrokeit opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

I'm using DRBL as the base of a PXE-based testing and imaging platform (Panucci, if you're interested in what it is), and every morning, I have to power on the server, wait for it to power on, and then run drblpush with our existing configuration.

How do I make it so that I can start up the necessary services without creating the images every time, or at least without making the user hit enter each time?

I believe you are using use "DRBL live"? If you follow http://drbl.org/installation/ to install DRBL on a GNU/Linux system, e.g., Ubuntu 16.04, then you only have to run "drblsrv -i" and "drblpush -i" once. Even you reboot the machine, the required service will be ready, no need to run "drblpush -i" again.

I've attempted that, and no matter what, I have to run drblpush -c after every boot - it hangs at /bin/sh otherwise.

So which version of GNU/Linux did you install drbl? Please provide more details so that I can try to reproduce the issue here. BTW, please also give unstable drbl a try if you can.
