Zebrix player reinstallation image with custom configuration

This guide is intended to describe steps to create a zebrix player reinstallation USB drive including a custom configuration that will be deployed on the zebrix player during the reinstallation process. A custom configuration might includes custom zebrix settings (specific zebrix server URL, custom screen resolution, watchdog settings, etc.), custom linux host file (required for customers that can't use/not allowed to use DNS server), etc.

First you need to create a standard zebrix reinstallation USB drive. To do so, please follow the following guide: How to create a USB drive for zebrix player reinstallation?

3 configuration can be imported in the freshly reinstalled player :

• zebrix.conf : zebrix configuration file
• hosts : linux hosts file
• clients.conf : VPN client configuration (for remote management by zebrix support)

• You can download the following ZIP file that contains these files

• Adjust these files to your needs
• rename the “example” folder with the name of your specific configuration (it is generally the customer or project name that is used)
• Move te folder containing the three files to your USB drive to the path home > partimag

In the folder home > partimag :

• Replace the existing banner.sh by the new one provided
• Add the setZebrixSettings.sh file

In the folder boot > grub, please edit the grub.cfg file and paste the following:
