11.2. Sharing the installation files on an HTTP or HTTPS server

Procedure

1. To store the Kickstart file on an HTTP, install the httpd package:

   # dnf install httpd

2. Optional: To store the Kickstart file on an HTTPS, install httpd and mod_ssl packages:

   # dnf install httpd mod_ssl

   重要

   If you use an HTTPS server with a self-signed certificate, you must boot the installation program with the inst.noverifyssl option.

3. Copy the Kickstart file to the HTTP(S) server into a subdirectory of the /var/www/html/ directory.

4. Enable the http service in firewalld.

   # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
   # firewall-cmd --reload

5. Optional: Enable the https service in firewalld:

   # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
   # firewall-cmd --reload

6. Start the httpd service:

   # systemctl enable --now httpd.service

   The Kickstart file is now accessible and ready to be used for installation.

   When specifying the location of the Kickstart file, use http:// or https:// as the protocol, the server’s host name or IP address, and the path of the Kickstart file, relative to the HTTP server root. For example, if you are using HTTP, the server’s host name is myserver.example.com, and you have copied the Kickstart file as /var/www/html/rhel10-install/my-ks.cfg, specify http://myserver.example.com/rhel10-install/my-ks.cfg as the file location.
