Support RHEL7

sdbrockme opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Thanks for creating this awesome project. I took a look at the python code and there is a check to make sure the OS is one of the 3 supported OS's. I'm in a corporate environment and we must run RHEL for all linux instances. Is there any way to build in support for RHEL?

Here's what I get when running the platform.linux_distribution() command:

[v00utlrhl401 freeztp]$ python -c 'import platform;print(platform.linux_distribution())'
('Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server', '7.7', 'Maipo')

what do you get when you run the command ztp

Or if you have not installed it: python ztp.py

I have not installed yet. Looking at your installer I was concerned it would error out. based on the definition for _dist_detect:

I unfortunately can't run the installer and have to request someone else run it. Just attempting to make sure the installer will work as the request process is a PIA.

I'm going to go ahead and request it to be installed. I'll report back here.

Thanks
Seth

As I thought, we had to edit the script to return "centos" for the linux distro. T

          distlist = platform.linux_distribution()
            return "centos"

The script had some errors when running and failed to fully install. I've attached the output.

I've found something. Looks like our proxy is returning an HTML file instead of the TFTPy project file.
