# Unattended deployment of a RPM-based guest
2021-11-12 15:45:05 +00:00
2022-01-11 14:49:26 +00:00
* `virt-install` is a command-line utility that can be used to create virtual machines. It comes preinstalled with Phyllome OS.

## Deployment using a hosted kickstart file
2021-11-12 15:45:05 +00:00
2022-01-17 15:21:02 +00:00
* The following command will create a virtual machine with a 10G virtual disk and deploy an RPM-based operating system with a stripped-down GNOME desktop environment inside. Most settings can be modified after the installation.

> Please verify the content of [the kickstart script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos/main/dishes/virtual-desktop.cfg) used to automate the installation. You may replace the kickstart script by a kickstart script of your choice.

## Automated installation using an ISO file and a local kickstart file
> **Warning**: doesn't work as intended. The kickstart file won't have to be modified to include the `cdrom` option and the ISO would have to include the necessary packages.
{.is-danger}
* Use the following `wget` command to fetch the official Fedora Server ISO file and to put it in the current working directory
```
wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/35/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-35-1.2.iso
```
> Please [verify your download](https://getfedora.org/en/security/) if you intent to use this virtual machine in production
{.is-info}
Move the file to `/var/lib/libvirt/iso`:
```
mv Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-35-1.2.iso /var/lib/libvirt/iso
```
* Use the following `wget` command to fetch a standalone kickstart file made to deploy a stripped down desktop based on GNOME Shell, and put it in the working directory
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos/main/dishes/virtual-desktop.cfg
