New in this version:

Full support for installing on UEFI HW
BIOS is still supported.

Linux audit framework provided by default.

Audit is not yet integrated in the ovios-shell, but it can be managed by the storage admin using the auditctl interface.



New tools to better monitor and manage the OviOS storage appliance:
netdata (options netdata.enable \ services netdata)
prometheus (options prometheus.enable \ services prometheus)
rsync
dmidecode
hwinfo
storcli
smartmontools

Kernel 6.8.2 (from  5.17.4)

OpenSSL 3.2.1 and OpenSSH 9.7p1
OviOS Linux v5.0 still provides some support for openssl 1.1 libraries. 

Python 3.11.8 

Other major upgrades:
Perl				5.38.2  	
Samba			4.19.5
GCC				13.2.0
ZFS-ovios 			2.2.3-682
iSCSI Server    		1.0.91
NFS 				2.6.4
Ruby 			3.3.0

The iso image is now roughly 1.2GB in size - contains most available linux firmware and drivers to allow OviOs to support most modern HW.


Many BUG fixes and package upgrades from version 4.00. A list of all installed packages here.



Known Issue: 

The crontab prints an error that can be ignored. Cron works as expected.

Download and burn to CD or USB: (preferred method is using dd in Linux)

Example assuming your usb is /dev/sdb (full device, not a partition):

dd bs=4M if=OviOS_Linux_v5.0_DRACO_Edition.iso of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

Boot into the live CD and run ‘setup’ to install.

User “root” and “‘ovios”
Default password “ovios” for both users.
NOTE: - user root launches the ovios-shell by default.
Type ‘linuxcmd’ to return to the Linux shell, or login with ‘ovios’ and type ‘su’ to become root. 
Note that ‘su -’ or ‘su - root’ launches the ovios-shell.

On the next boot up, you will see the OviOS Linux grub menu.
After the boot process completes, you have a fully functional storage server.
ISCSI, NFS and SMB servers are installed and ready to be configured.


Useful tips after the installation:

Read the ovios man page ‘man ovios-shell’ or the ovios guide, type ‘ovios’ in the ovios-shell
