Internet is MUST when install ALP via D-installer image
Last modified: 2023-09-01 10:05:09 UTC
It will require Internet when install ALP via following D-installer image: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE:/ALP:/Products:/Installer:/0.8/images/iso/d-installer-live.x86_64-0.8.3-ALP-Build11.1.iso Hope it is a fully offline installation image.
Hi Song, You're right. And we will provide a fully offline installation later, I am sorry I don't have any detail but I will let you know once I have it.
Agama (AKA D-Installer) is just an "Installer Application", it's the Media Content and its configuration that can do something about it. Reassigning.
Assigning back to Media Content. Agama does not build the media and does not make sure that the installation repository is there. Please read https://confluence.suse.com/display/YAST/Installation+as+a+Project before reassigning anywhere else. And especially not without writing a comment why. Thanks a lot in advance.
Can be installed offline now.
(In reply to Hui-Zhi Zhao from comment #4) > Can be installed offline now. How? I'm part of the team developing Agama (the installer) and Agama-live (the image our customers are using to get a glance at Agama) and I'm not aware of any version of Agama-live that allows installation without access to SUSE's ALP Dolomite repositories.

What Lenovo really require is a way to install ALP (with or without D-installer) offline in their isolated server room. We have been only providing D-installer for months. But now we have other ways to workaround.
Would you mind describing the solution a bit closer, please? What exactly is then used and how?
Not all the bits we listed at https://susealp.io/downloads/alp-dolomite-1.0-milestone-3/ require internet be connected for installation, right?
Deployment from a pre-built image has been here for months already, so it's actually no change to the previous state. If the customer needs something more, e.g., autoinstallation with custom partitioning, then Agama (formerly D-Installer) is still the only way and in such case, internet connection is still needed. There will most probably also be an option to use local RMT without access to internet. This bugreport / feature request does not really say anything about customer's requirements. In such case, we can only guess.

AFAIK, all the servers of hardware vendors for testing and most of production environment at least in China, their servers are isolated. Probably some of them allow servers to access internet via proxy, but not sure whether we provide proxy setting during the installation. > > This bugreport / feature request does not really say anything about > customer's requirements. In such case, we can only guess. I am sorry about the confusion. You're right. I should put more detail for Lenovo.

JFYI, we added support for using a proxy[1] recently, so it should be available in the next release. [..] [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/agama/pull/696
