Preparing a client for the ansible-config

1. Download the Debian netinst image debian-x.y.z-amd64-netinst.iso from: https://ftp.belnet.be/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/

2. Flash it to a (Zeus) usb stick with e.g.: dd if=debian-x.y.z-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M oflag=sync status=progress , substitute /dev/sdX for the usb stick as reported by lsblk -f and triple check this.

3. Boot from the installer usb by mashing F12 on boot.

4. Proceed through the installer:

• Connect it to the kelder network during installation.
• Set the language to English.
• Set the location to Belgium or Brussels.
• Set the locale to en_GB.UTF-8.
• Set the keymap to Belgian.
• Use ethernet for networking.
• Set the hostname to client1 or client2.
• Leave the domain empty.
• Use zeus as the default username.
• Overwrite the entire disk with Guided - use entire disk.
• Use the recommended mirror, without proxy.
• Select any desktop environment, and enable ssh.

1. Wait for the installer to finish, unplug the ethernet cable, then configure the following:

• Disable shutdown on power button press.
• Disable auto-suspend.
• Disable screensaver / display auto power off.

Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other client as well.
