| GrueMaster | Is there a way to preseed oem-config to override existing settings for proxy? I have to go through a proxy when imaging systems, and when I send them out to customers, I want them to be able to change the proxy settings for their environment. | 17:12 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | GrueMaster: it's best to auto-provision proxy settings in your environemnt. by default systems should come without proxy-settings / set to auto-detect, such that end-user sets up proxy themself (or not need any in most cases) | 17:13 |
| xnox | GrueMaster: if that's not enough, you can write a plugin for oem-config & drop it in to display custom setup pages as you wish. | 17:14 |
| GrueMaster | How do you configure that on Ubuntu server? | 17:14 |
| GrueMaster | The auto-provision part. | 17:14 |
| xnox | GrueMaster: your dhcp should provide it, check documentation of the dhcp daemon you are using. More of a support question on #ubuntu-server. As I don't know how to set that up =) i just know that it can be done. | 17:15 |
| GrueMaster | Ah, well that won't work here. I have no control over our DHCP servers. | 17:16 |
| GrueMaster | Guess I will have to look at option 2. | 17:16 |
| xnox | GrueMaster: depending on the boot parameters you can make the proxy settings not persist across the reboots. Or clear them before doing "ship system for the user" | 17:19 |
| GrueMaster | Problem is during the network setup, debconf asks for proxy settings, which get stored in /etc/apt/apt.conf. | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | So I'll need to do a post-install cleanse. | 17:24 |
