Install Fedora Linux: There are two ways you can install the Linux operating system used by JambulaTV:
a) Quick method:
Use the supplied JambulaOS Linux image. Check out the project page at:
https://github.com/zikusooka/Jambula-OS
or feel free to request me for one.
b) Long method:
Set up a Linux installation server. This server will use PXE/TFTP boot method to serve a Fedora kickstart install file to the client. I highly recommend using the open source software package called Cobbler. Cobbler is a Linux provisioning server that facilitates and automates the network-based system installation of multiple computer operating systems from a central point using services such as DHCP, TFTP, and DNS.
Configure cobbler server and ensure that the following kickstart files will be served correctly. For instructions, please visit:
https://cobbler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart-guide.html
Change the kickstart files to suit your needs i.e. Modify the files: jambulatv-system.ks and jambulatv-packages.ks located in this project's contrib directory
-
Login as root user
-
Clone this repo
-
Run "install.sh" script
In order to run and complete the install process, you will need to have access to the JambulaTV packages repository FTP site i.e. sftp.jambulatv.com
For this project, I used Fedora 20 which was released in December 2013, however, you should still be able to use the latest Linux versions with minimal changes.
