Standard install via Depot

This is the default install path for a Warewulf Pro server with network access to depot.ciq.com. For environments without internet access, see Air-gapped install instead.

Prerequisites

  • Rocky Linux 9 (or another supported Enterprise Linux 9 distribution).
  • A CIQ Portal account with Warewulf Pro entitlement.
  • The Depot client installed and logged in.

Enable the Warewulf Pro repository

# depot login
# depot enable warewulf-pro

depot enable configures a dnf repository pointing at depot.ciq.com/warewulf-pro/... with your entitlement credentials baked in.

Install the packages

# dnf -y install warewulf warewulf-cockpit apptainer cockpit "warewulf-overlays-*"

This pulls in:

  • warewulf - server + CLI
  • warewulf-cockpit - web interface
  • apptainer - CIQ-packaged Apptainer
  • cockpit - base Cockpit framework
  • warewulf-overlays-* - all five Pro overlays (apptainer, chrony, slurm, openpbs, fuzzball-substrate)

Enable services

# systemctl enable --now warewulfd cockpit.socket

The Warewulf web interface is now available at https://<your-server>:9090/warewulf.
