# Lessons Learned

## Fedora Kickstart

### Network

The installer was able to retrieve Kickstart files via HTTPS through Pangolin.

### DNS

Initial tests indicated DNS resolution issues. Verification showed that network connectivity was available and the Kickstart file could be downloaded.

### Disk Naming

The virtual machine used:

* VirtIO SCSI controller
* SCSI disk (scsi0)

The installer exposed the disk as:

/dev/sda

not:

/dev/vda

Therefore:

ignoredisk --only-use=vda

caused installation failure.

### User Accounts

An unattended installation requires either:

* a valid root account configuration
* or a local user definition

### Post Installation

The following actions were successfully executed in %post:

* MOTD creation
* Git installation
* Ansible installation
* Repository cloning

### Architectural Validation

The following concept has been successfully validated:

Generic installation media
→ Activation service
→ Profile
→ Installer definition
→ Automatic installation
→ Git repositories
→ Configuration management
