Instructions for installing a centrally managed Ubuntu linux desktop with Chef.
Ubuntu installation instructions:
- Install Ubuntu 16.04
Chef installation instructions:
Run the following command to bootstrap Chef central configuration management:
curl http://yum.slac.stanford.edu/go-chef | sudo /bin/sh
Scope of support for Ubuntu desktops:
- There is no central support for native AFS or NFS on CentOS 7 or Ubuntu desktops.
- sshfs can be used to access AFS and/or NFS from the desktop
- We are also investigating samba client access for CentOS 7 or Ubuntu desktops
- A centrally managed OpenStack virtual machine (RHEL 6 or CentOS 7) can be self-provisioned which has direct AFS and NFS access on the FARM science subnet
