Installing Ubuntu for FluxOS

Step 4 of Flux CUMULUS Node Setup


We are preparing our Mini PC for FluxNode deployment 

1. Wait for the PC to boot using the Ubuntu USB bootable flash drive we created earlier until you see the Welcome screen with language selection. Select: English and hit Enter key



2. At the Keyboard configuration screen select: Layout English (US), Variant: English (US), Select Done, and hit Enter



3. At the Network connections screen, select Continue without network and hit Enter


4. At the Configure proxy screen, select Done and hit Enter


5. At the Configure Ubuntu archive mirror screen, select Done and hit Enter


6. At the Checking for installer update... screen, select Continue without updating and hit Enter


7. At the Guided Storage Configuration screen, navigate using up/down arrows and hit space bar to check Use an entire disk, uncheck Set up this disk as an LVM group, select Done, and hit Enter.






8. At the Storage Configuration screen select Done, and hit Enter.




9. At the Confirm destructive Action pop-up select Continue




10. At the Profile setup screen specify your name (e.g. John Doe), server name (e.g. fluxnode1), username (e.g. fluxuser), and password (e.g. password). Note on passwords: Not sure if it is a bug with this version but I had hard time with using strong passwords during setup stage. It could be due to this PC not letting me use CAPITAl letters. To be safe, use simple, all lower-case password - we will be changing it later!


11. At the Enable Ubuntu Advantage screen select Done, and hit Enter


12. At the SSH Setup screen, check [x] Install OpenSSH select Done, and hit Enter


11. Wait for the Installation complete screen and perform these steps before rebooting:

Remove the USB drive from the PC
Connect Ethernet cable

Select Reboot Now


12. At the user/password prompt screen, type username: fluxuser password: password and hit Enter

13. Once logged in, at the shell prompt, type: type: ip a and hit Enter. Make note of the IP address (e.g. in my case 192.168.1.183) and MAC address (e.g. 1a:2b:c3:4d:5e:6f)

  FluxNode  Networking, Router, and  Firewall  Setup  Step 5 of Flux CUMULUS Node Setup We are preparing our  Mini PC  for FluxNode deployment  Q: What is a good router/gateway I can use with FluxNode? A. There are plenty of consumer-grade routers that are sold that can work with FlunxNode but if you want a reliable and more advanced router that gives you a ton of flexibility with not just FluxNode but with getting your networking under total control, I would consider a Mini PC designed to run a firewall such as pFsense 1. Access your internet router's web interface and look for an option for either of these terms or similar - this may vary based on your router brand:  DHCP Server Address Reservation ,  DHCP Reservations ,  DHCP Leases , etc. Basically, the DHCP Server option, where we get to tie the MAC address of your HP Flux Node to a specific IP, so that it is always reserved for your node and automatically assigned by the rou...
