View source for DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke)

This is a guide for adding Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) to FOG 1.3.0.

= Backend =
For this example, we will be using Fedora 21 Server; these commands should work for CentOS and RHEL as well. For Debian/Ubuntu based distributions you should only need to change the web directory paths to (maybe?) exclude the /html part.

Please note that the below wget URL will likely need updated to a current URL for the latest DBAN ISO.



Here is a '''step-by-step explanation''' of what the '''below commands''' do:

*Make a directory in the root directory called "iso."

*Make a directory in the web folder called "dban."

*Get the latest copy of dban using wget (URL likely needs updated) and put it into the "iso" directory with the name "dban.iso."

*Mount the dban.iso file to the "dban" web directory as read-only (must be read only for ISOs).


These commands are executed on your FOG server via CLI with sudo or root permissions:

<pre>mkdir /iso
mkdir /var/www/html/dban
wget -O /iso/dban.iso http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dban/dban/dban-2.3.0/dban-2.3.0_i586.iso
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /iso/dban.iso /var/www/html/dban</pre>


If you've done the steps above correctly, you should be able to visit the directory in a web browser like so to see the files from the ISO:

<pre>x.x.x.x/dban</pre>

= Frontend =

Now we must add a new entry to the FOG boot menu. For this, we will navigate in the FOG web UI to here: 

FOG Configuration -> iPXE New Menu Entry

In this menu, you will add the below information. 


Menu Item:  DBAN

Description: Boot and nuke (This is what the menu displays)

Parameters:

<pre>:DBAN
kernel ${boot_url}/dban/dban.bzi nuke="dwipe --autonuke" silent vga=785
boot</pre>


Menu Show with: All Hosts


It should look something like this when you're done:

[[file:DBAN_1.3.0.png]]

'''NOTE:''' Some have reported that this works for them without the double quotes around this part: ''dwipe --autonuke'' but you may not have this problem.
