7. Templating

One of the more powerful new features in Satellite 5.3.0 is Cheetah based kickstart templating. With

this new capability, you can include variables, snippets (see below), and flow control statements such

as for loops and if statements in your kickstart files.

7.1. Use Cases

There are a variety of reasons a user may want to use templating, such as:

• You might want to reuse a particular section of a kickstart, such as a disk partitioning section,

between multiple kickstarts

• If you have, for example, multiple kinds of server roles such as DNS server, proxy server, and web

server, all with their own package set. You could define a snippet for each role. For example web

server might have the following snippet defined:

1 2 ... 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ... 29 30
