New Revision: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:deployment-stories:debian-edu Edit Summary: ↷ Page moved from doc:deployment-stories:debian-edu to doc:success-stories:debian-edu User : stefanbaur @@ -1,46 +1 @@ - ====== Deployment Story: Debian Edu / Skolelinux and X2Go (without TJENER) ====== - - //Shared by: Mike Gabriel (with my [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu|Debian Edu]] Developer hat on)// - - In Debian Edu contexts the main criticism since the release of Debian Edu / Skolelinux squeeze is: the whole Debian Edu system has become far to complex (LDAP, Kerberos, GOsa², Samba, LTSP, ...). The default Skolelinux system has become more complex, that is true indeed. If it has become too complex is another discussion. From the view point of a Debian Edu developer and IT service provider, the system is just as it has to be. From a teacher's perspective, I deeply get the criticism of to much complexity. - - However, those who feel overwhelmed by Debian Edu's grown complexity, please consider the approach described below. - - ===== Your Gateway ===== - - * Install ipFire as a Gateway on some minor hardware - * Red + Green interface (you need two network cards) - * let the Red interface connect you to the internet - * Enable DHCP service on the Green interface - - ===== Basic Skolelinux Installation ===== - - * Assemble an average server box: - * 4 or 8 CPU cores - * 16GiB or 32GiB RAM - * two fast hard drives (SSD) - * 2 network cards - * Install a Debian Edu / Skolelinux Standalone system (no TJENER!) on that server hardware - * Make sure that your Skolelinux system's hostname can internally be resolved via DNS. Use the ipFire system to configure this. - * Test local login, test DNS, install required (educational) software - * Create more users on the Skolelinux system through the normal Posix tools (''adduser'') or through some fancy user administration GUI (present in KDE / GNOME) - - ===== Basic X2Go Installation ===== - - * Then proceed with setting up X2Go Server on the Skolelinux system: - * Add the X2Go archives for Debian to the Skolelinux system - * Install the packages ''x2goserver-xsession'' and ''x2goserver-fmbindings'' on the Skolelinux machine. Optionally, you may want to install the package ''x2godesktopsharing''. - * Test X2Go access to the Skolelinux system from another client machine that gets hooked up to the Green network interface of the ipFire system - - ===== X2Go Thin Client Environment ===== - - * Then proceeed with setting up an X2Go Thin Client Environment on the Skolelinux system: - * Install the package ''x2gothinclient-management'' on the Skolelinux system - * Follow the X2Go TCE documentation in this wiki to get the TCE up and running - * During the X2Go TCE installation you will be guided to set up a DHCP+PXE server on the Skolelinux system. Make sure that DHCP serves the X2Go Thin Clients via the //second// network interface of the Skolelinux system. No DHCP on the first network card (the one that is connected to the Green ipFire interface) - * Connect minimal, power-saving systems (i.e. thin-client-like hardware) two the Skolelinux system's second network card and configure them boot via PXE - - ==== What you have at the end... ==== - - ... is a Debian Edu / Skolelinux based class room that can be administrated by normal Linux user and group administration tools. No Kerberos, no LDAP, no Samba, no XXX involved. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/
