====== Include pixz/pxz into bootimage ====== This was tested with Version **20131121-1** of the bootimage from testing. Its possible that this also works on other version. If not please report it to me --- //[[koch.daniel.89@googlemail.com|dkoch]] 2014/02/06 13:23// \\ The OPSI-Bootimage lacks support for parallel xz compression which was recommended in my environment so i included it. XZ has compressed an image of 10GB to 4,4GB compared to gzip while more or less decompressing it as fast as gzip. I am using this with ntfs-write-image and ntfs-restore-image. ===== Requirements ===== * Webserver of choice * pre-execute parameter of bootimage ==== Setup Webserver ==== Get the files needed for pxz and pixz from my webserver [[http://blackhole.triple6.org/opsi/pixz.tar.gz]] [[http://blackhole.triple6.org/opsi/pxz.tar.gz]] and store them in your document root of the Webserver. ( /var/www/ is the default if you are running apache2 for example ) If you don't have a webserver yet install it on your opsi-server by executing these commands ( these include download of required packages and fixing permissions ) apt-get install apache2 -y wget -N blackhole.triple6.org/opsi/pixz.tar.gz -O /var/www/pixz.tar.gz wget -N blackhole.triple6.org/opsi/pxz.tar.gz -O /var/www/pxz.tar.gz chown www-data:www-data /var/www/ -R Create another file named post-boot.sh in your document root as follows: #!/bin/bash wget -N domain-of-the-webserver/pxz.tar.gz wget -N domain-of-the-webserver/pixz.tar.gz # If you do not want to setup your own webserver you can insert my public webserver blackhole.triple6.org ( this is not recommended! ) tar xaf pxz.tar.gz tar xaf pixz.tar.gz cp -a lib/* /lib/ cp -a usr/* /usr/ exit 0 This script will download pxz and pixz from //domain-of-the-webserver// and patches the boot image before CLIENT_DATA scripts are executed. ==== Setup Opsi ==== In order to execute it you have to add this value to your opsiconfd-settings (host-parameters) opsi-linux-bootimage.append pre-execute=http://domain-of-the-webserver/post-boot.sh
