# OVH-FCOS
|
|
|
|
This is a bootstrap script for installing Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) on OVH.
|
|
|
|
FCOS is not an available image for an OVH VPS, but this script makes it possible to install from 'Rescue Mode' with all of the benefits of a custom [ignition configuration](https://github.com/coreos/ignition).
|
|
|
|
1. [Order a new OVH VPS](https://ovhcloud.com/en-ca/vps) with any Linux distribution. This will be overwritten.
|
|
2. Wait for the VPS to be provisioned then select it in [the OVH web control panel](https://ca.ovh.com/manager/#/dedicated/vps).
|
|
3. Click '...' next to 'Boot', select 'Reboot in rescue mode'.
|
|
4. Receive your password via email, then connect to the machine as 'root' via SSH or the web KVM console (you may need to paste, so SSH is recommended).
|
|
5. From the Rescue Mode console, run the script:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ sh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JohnMertz/ovh-fcos/master/fcos-ovh)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
7. Provide input for either your ignition file, or generate one by manually inputing your Hostname, SSH public key (entire contents of `.id_{rsa,ed25519}.pub` file; this is required to log in as the 'core' user).
|
|
8. Select installation volume (default: 'sdb').
|
|
9. Confirm and wait for installation.
|
|
10. Return to [the OVH web control panel](https://ca.ovh.com/manager/#/dedicated/vps), click '...' next to 'Boot' again and select 'Reboot my VPS' in order to reboot into the new installation.
|
|
|
|
**Congratulations!** You now have Fedora CoreOS on your server! Reboot your VPS from the OVH web control panel and enjoy!
