Explanation:
Future OS Server installation media are of two types. Ensi and lesi are denoted by their codenames.
ensi (ext4, no swap, install) - Cloud and Virtual Private Server (VPS)
lesi (lvm, efi, swap, install) - Dedicated and Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS)
You cannot change the disk structure specified in the server installation media! Download the installation media you need and install with it. These partitioning structures are adapted to existing server platforms.
ensi:
ensi installation media has no swap space and is suitable for small-scale virtual servers and cloud structures. It is created as an ext4 file system on a single partition.
lesi:
It is installed with uefi support if the server platform supports efi, otherwise as standard partitioning. The disk partitioning structure is lvm as it targets large servers. Dedicated servers need swap space for high workloads.
Both installation media include qemu-guest-agent software for system monitoring support. It can be installed on servers with both virtual and real hardware in two environments.
Apart from these, there is a ready-made qcow2 virtual disk that we have created for use on cloud platforms. It includes cloud-init software and you can attach it as an custom image to any cloud platform and create your server.
Server Installation:
[1] Insert the Future OS Server installation media and start your server. Then the following screen is displayed, press Enter to continue.
[2] Future OS Server is booted by your server and prepared for installation.
[3] Future OS Server environment is live server. When it opens, the console login screen welcomes you.
[4] The only user available is root. Type root in the input line and press [ENTER].
[5] Start the installation with the live-install command.
[6] If you want to change the hostname, confirm with "y" and specify the hostname. If you don't make any changes, the default hostname is localhost.localdomain.
[7] Set the root password.
[8] If you want to create a system user, confirm with "y" here. You will then be prompted to enter a username and password. As with most servers, we didn't need to create users in this setup. we pass by "n".
[9] In the disc name determination screen, available discs are listed just above the line. Type the name of the disk you want to install.
[10] The partition structure of the disk you specified in the installation is displayed just above the line. You cannot make changes to the existing structure! Confirm with "y" and proceed to the next step. If you reject it with "n", no changes will be made to the disk you selected and the installation will be cancelled.
[11] It is the last step where you can cancel the installation. After this step, do not turn off the power of the server until the installation is complete.
[12] If the installation is completed successfully, restart your server and remove the installation media.
[13] Future OS will boot from the disk you installed.
[14] On first boot, SELinux targeted policy relabeling is required. The system will reboot automatically when the process is complete.
[15] When the console login screen comes up, you can log in using the password you set with the root user.
