Want to use existing network setup

[tinjaw]

I already have an existing setup utilizing an Ubuntu 10.04 server that has DHCP, HTTP/S, TFTP, DNS, and other services running. I would like to integrate OPSI into this environment. Looking at the installation instructions it says to remove the existing tftp server and install an opsi version. I am not willing to do this.

What is special about this opsi tftp package? How can I implement it using my existing tftp setup?

It appears that the opsi config stuff is a standard web application. If so, I should be able to add it to my existing HTTP server setup. How do I do this?

I assume that I can simply copy a directory tree into my existing /var/lib/tftpboot directory, but I need to know what.

Has anybody already attempted/done this sort of thing? If not, how has anybody used opsi on an existing network with already existing services and gotten them to work harmoniously?

opsi uses an patched version of atftpd (which can read named pipes).
Except for this the opsi-atftpd behaves exactly as atftpd.
There should be no problem to switch to the opsi-atftpd.

It is not. opsi comes with its own webservice listening on port 4447.

So I should just grab the .deb packages and install to my existing server after removing my tftp server (but keeping the config files)?

Yes, but opsi expect the tftproot in /tftpboot.
So you will have to create a symlink.

Hmm, was going to tackle this today, but it seems a new version is out and it id only VM. Am I correct? I assume I want to use the latest (new) version, so how do I get opsi to work when I have an existing DHCP and PXE server setup?

EDIT:
I just looked at the manual for v 4.0 and it has the procedures for a Debian/Ubuntu install. When I didn't see them in the download section I figured only the VM version was available. My bad.
