These instructions describe how to install the latest version of CFEngine Enterprise on CoreOS. The CoreOS package uses a file-system image in order to contain modifications to the root file-system.

Download packages

Download the file-system image package for CoreOS from the Enterprise Downloads Page.

Install package

  1. On the CoreOS Host, extract the fs-img-pkg.tar.gz archive:

    code
    core@coreos ~ $ tar xvf cfengine-nova-3.23.0-1.x86_64.fs-img.pkg.tar.gz

  2. On the CoreOS Host, run the install script:

    code
    core@coreos ~ $ sudo ./cfengine-nova-3.23.0-1.x86_64.fs-img.pkg/install.sh

Note: Install actions logged to /var/log/CFEngine-Install.log.

Bootstrap

Run the bootstrap command:

code
core@coreos ~ $ sudo /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent --bootstrap <IP address of the Policy Server>

Next steps
