Working Bare Metal Community install guide

Post by mrp » Tue Jul 20, 2021 4:58 pm

Hi - tried the bare metal install from the downloaded .iso of community edition it's been very unsuccessful. I have no networking, nor nano on the server - making it very hard to make updates or installs.

Have I missed something with the install or is the guide/iso wrong?

Has anybody got a successful Bare metal install of the community edition?

Thanks

Yes,
installing from ISO you must have internet on your EVE as well.
What is that HW specification of your bare?
What NIC?

It's a Dell desktop with a Broadcom Gigabyte adaptor.

I am relatively new to Linux, so following through the guides with some dedication.

I tried to install Ubuntu Server and run through the installation - seems to get a little further until the installation of eve-ng

it failed with this

EVE Community does not support dockers.
And install Community you should follow EVE Community cookbook
Chapter 3.3
