url

The url Kickstart command is optional. It is used to install from an installation tree image on a remote server by using the FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS protocol. You can only specify one URL. Use this command only once.

You must specify one of the --url, --metalink or --mirrorlist options.

Syntax
url --url=FROM [OPTIONS]
Options
  • --url=FROM - Specifies the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or file location to install from.
  • --mirrorlist= - Specifies the mirror URL to install from.
  • --proxy= - Specifies an HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP proxy to use during the installation.
  • --noverifyssl - Disables SSL verification when connecting to an HTTPS server.
  • --metalink=URL - Specifies the metalink URL to install from. Variable substitution is done for $releasever and $basearch in the URL.
Examples
  • To install from a FTP server: 
    url --url=ftp://username:password@server/path
  • To install from a HTTP server: 
    url --url=http://server/path

  • To actually run the installation, you must specify one of cdrom, harddrive, hmc, nfs, liveimg, ostreesetup, rhsm, or url unless the inst.repo option is specified on the kernel command line.
