Clonezilla Server Edition How to setup a Clonezilla server ?Ī DRBL server must first be prepared in order to use Clonezilla to do massively cloning.For more info, please refer to this step-by-step docs.

I hope this sounds less chaotic than I feel about it :) Situation is quite complicated for me and my previous experiences I hope someone here can set me straight.Īfter quite a lot of trial and error I found a way. Or, since I hope this would be one-time task, perhaps I can simplify something? Edit clonezilla image (can mount it normally, right?) to allow ssh by default, perhaps restricting IP access or changing default password?įinally, how would you go about running system from this image? Where could I store it, if it indeed needs separate partition? And in case the best answer would be a partition on clear 'target' disk, how to make the system go to RAM at boot? Remember I would only be able to ssh into it once it is fully alive (so, booted, with network up, etc). In this case, on which machine should clonezilla image be located? Right now I'm thinking about setting up PXE server on different machine and pointing my 'target' server to get boot info from it. This answer pointing to this doc sounds like a solution here, although requires PXE setup.

Never used this software before, so I hope there is everything in place - it is a folder containing quite a lot of dd-img. On sda2 there is, among other files, rather huge disk image made with Clonezilla.
