Anaconda Kickstart Documentation
================================
:Authors:
Brian C. Lane <bcl@redhat.com>
Anaconda uses `kickstart <https://github.com/pykickstart/pykickstart>`_ to parse and generate
kickstart files.
Automatically load the Kickstart file
-------------------------------------
If you need to load Kickstart file automatically you can store your Kickstart file as ``/ks.cfg``
into the storage device which is accessible during the boot process and is labeled as ``OEMDRV``.
Such a device is automatically discovered during boot and the Kickstart file will be used.
%anaconda
---------
The ``%anaconda`` kickstart section contains commands to control the behavior of Anaconda.
*Deprecated since Fedora 34.*
*Removed since Fedora 36.*
pwpolicy
--------
``program: pwpolicy <name> [--minlen=LENGTH] [--minquality=QUALITY] [--strict|notstrict] [--emptyok|notempty] [--changesok|nochanges]``
Set the policy to use for the named password entry.
``name``
Name of the password entry, currently supported values are: root, user and luks
``--minlen`` (6)
Minimum password length. This is passed on to libpwquality.
``--minquality`` (1)
Minimum libpwquality to consider good. When using ``--strict`` it will not allow
passwords with a quality lower than this.
``--strict``
Strict password enforcement. Passwords not meeting the ``--minquality`` level will
not be allowed.
``--notstrict`` (**DEFAULT**)
Passwords not meeting the ``--minquality`` level will be allowed after Done is clicked
twice.
``--emptyok`` (**DEFAULT**)
Allow empty password.
``--notempty``
Don't allow an empty password
``--changesok``
Allow UI to be used to change the password/user when it has already been set in
the kickstart.
``--nochanges`` (DEFAULT)
Do not allow UI to be used to change the password/user if it has been set in
the kickstart.
The defaults for interactive installations are set in the ``/usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks``
file provided by Anaconda. If a product, such as Fedora Workstation, wishes to override them
then a ``product.img`` needs to be created with a new version of the file included.
When using a kickstart the defaults can be overridded by placing an ``%anaconda`` section into
the kickstart, like this::
%anaconda
pwpolicy root --minlen=10 --minquality=60 --strict --notempty --nochanges
%end
.. note:: The commit message for pwpolicy included some incorrect examples.
*Deprecated since Fedora 34.*
.. note:: You can use the configuration option ``password_policies``.
*Removed since Fedora 35.*
installclass
------------
``installclass --name=<name>``
Require the specified install class to be used for the installation.
Otherwise, the best available install class will be used.
``--name=``
Name of the required install class.
*Removed since Fedora 30.*
.. note:: You can use the boot options ``inst.product`` and ``inst.variant``.
