For zero-touch installation

When booting from the key, the installer asks for your organization's address and reads its record in Symbifox. Your organization therefore needs the Policy module. See how Symbifox runs the fleet.

For the live USB key

Nothing gets installed on the computer. On first start, the key asks for your organization's domain (the one for its website or its Odoo), shows its name for confirmation, then you sign in with your phone, two-factor authentication included. You then choose: a session wiped when you shut down, your desktop kept encrypted on the key, or in your Nextcloud. Your organization needs the Policy module, with the live key set up. You need a 64-bit computer that boots in UEFI mode, and an Internet connection to sign in. Watch the live key video.

Prepare the key

Three steps before the first boot

1. Check the file

Compare the SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded file with the one shown on this page. To go further, verify its signature with the project's public key.

2. Write the key

With Fedora Media Writer or balenaEtcher, pick the downloaded image and a USB key of at least 8 GB. Everything on it will be erased. The live key also works with Ventoy: just copy the ISO onto the key (16 GB or more to keep a desktop).

3. Boot from it

Plug in the key, start the computer into its boot menu, then choose the automatic installation.

Verify from the command line

In the download folder:

sha256sum -c blue-fox-os-bf-v1.0.0.iso.sha256

cosign verify-blob --key cosign.pub \
  --bundle blue-fox-os-bf-v1.0.0.iso.sigstore.json \
  blue-fox-os-bf-v1.0.0.iso
