ISO Airgap Install on existing Oracle Linux 9 instance issue #11601
-
Version2.4.20 Installation MethodSecurity Onion ISO image Descriptioninstallation Installation TypeStandalone Locationairgap Hardware SpecsMeets minimum requirements CPU4 RAM32 Storage for /3TB Storage for /nsm1TB Network Traffic Collectionspan port Network Traffic SpeedsLess than 1Gbps StatusNo, one or more services are failed (please provide detail below) Salt StatusNo, there are no failures LogsNo, there are no additional clues DetailI am somewhat confused about how to go about doing an airgap install on my own build of Oracle Linux 9.2. If I mount the iso, and then run "so-setup iso" and select "airgap", install starts and I get errors almost as if it is expecting salt to already be installed. I get errors such as: /home/xxxxx/SecurityOnion/salt "no such file or directory" I don't see where salt is a prereq in the install documentation. It only mentions installing git as a prereq. Am I going about this incorrectly? Thank you for any help. Guidelines

Use the SO iso image.. The link you sent is for network install. In other words, if you are not using the SO iso image, you can use your RHEL clone of choice and do "so-setup-network" "Is it possible to do an ISO based Airgap install on my own installed Oracle Linux 9.2 distribution?" I believe it is possible after all its all Linux. Granted that you do all the heavy work in reverse engineer the prereq by comparing the SO image but I would imagine it would not be supported by the SO team. |

Thank you @TotieBash . With the network install, is it possible to do an airgap installation. In other words, can I do the network install which will pull down all the containers and then use a local repo. I see documentation that says and ISO install with Airgap is a thing but I don't see any mention of a network install that can be used airgapped. |

You can do a network install and then change it to airgap mode afterwards. |

You may be able to make this work but please keep in mind that the only officially supported option is to use our Security Onion ISO image: |

hmmm I learned something new.... It might be useful later... @TOoSmOotH does it mean for example I can use RHEL9 or Rocky9 network install and then I can change it to airgap mode later? |
