Even though you're using a NetBoot configuration you need to tell the client to use DHCP and retrieve its network settings (DNS, IP, GW, ...) dynamically. That's why you have to enable your ethernet interface.

System installation

Requirements

You should already have:


O.S installation

On dedicated hardware you need to install Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS using an USB key.



Basic setup

Update sources.list and install key packages

Edit your sources.list 

apt-get install vim
vim /etc/apt/sources.list


Put the following: 

### Custom repositories list
#
# May 2014 - Guillaume Diaz
# This is an ajdustement of the default "debootstrap" sources.list
# This is required to provided update, security and advanced tools to all our clients
#

#########################
# Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [Trusty]
#########################
# Official repositories
deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse

# Official updates 
deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

# Canonical partners
#deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner

# Community partners
#deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main


Update your package list: 

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade


Linux utilities

Now, you can install the basic programs: 

# NFS is a bit low, and if you're using many client it might result in time faults. 
# You must install NTP to overcome this !!
apt-get install ntp ntpdate

# Basic set of utilities
apt-get install unzip zip htop python3 sysv-rc-conf mc

# Network tools
apt-get install curl

# Advanced APT manager (require to add repository from command line)
apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

# SSH server
apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client


Adjust bash and vim configuration

Edit your VIM configuration: 

vim /etc/vim/vimrc

Enable dark background + set nu + set ruler


Edit your bash configuration files to adjust the alias and enable auto-completion: 

vim /etc/bash.bashrc
vim /home/<username>/.bashrc
vim /root/.bashrc


Firewall script

See Firewall to get more details.



Setup network interfaces

Even though you're using the NetBoot process you still have to register some interfaces! More important, the NetBoot disable the loopback "lo" - so you should better add that one back! 

# Adjust "xxxx" by your distribution name
vim /etc/network/interfaces


Add: 

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Ethernet default interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# Intel NUC ethernet interface is named em1
auto em1
iface em1 inet dhcp



Zabbix server installation

Add Zabbix repository

Source: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/installation/install_from_packages


Installation: 

wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.2/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_2.2-1+trusty_all.deb
dpkg -i zabbix-release_2.2-1+trusty_all.deb
