[Linux] WAPT server installation via command line

Good morning,

I am looking to install WAPT via command line without any interface.
I'm mainly talking about this command, which is causing me problems:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/python /opt/wapt/waptserver/scripts/postconf.py
.

I would like to perform an automated installation using only the command line.

Is it possible to modify only the configuration files?

Thank you,

Good morning,

I am far from being an expert, as I have also only been discovering this tool for a few months.
So what I'm about to say may be incomplete or even impossible, but it's worth a try.

If the server is installed on Debian (it works on other distributions too, but I'm less familiar with them), I think it's possible to do something like this:
  • - Perform an initial manual installation to obtain the desired settings
    - Afterwards "debconf-get-selections | grep tis->/tmp/TIS.debconf"to get the parameters that were passed to debconf in a response file.
    - Set aside in a conference folder/tmp/TIS.debconf" and the file"/opt/wapt/waptserver/waptserver.ini"
    - Next, regarding the installation to be automated:
    • - debconf-set-selections /Conf_Directory/msttcorefonts.debconf
      - apt-get install tis-waptserver tis-waptrepo tis-waptsetup
      - mkdir -p /opt/wapt/waptserver
      - cp /Conf_Directory/waptserver.ini /opt/wapt/waptserver/waptserver.ini
      (the last 2 commands should replace the wizard execution I think)
That's one avenue to explore, but I might be wrong.

@micalement,
