In the same Window, click the plus (“+”) symbol.ġ9. This will add a new (blank) user to the top of the list. This is done by clicking the “Read Only” drop down menus next to each user and selecting “No Access”.ġ8. We now need to add our new “DS Repo Access” user to the Permissions list. I also set the primary group (in the example this is “Guests”) and everyone permissions to “No Access”. This will open the share settings page and show the default permissions assigned to the folder.ġ7. Optionally, you can disable SMB access to the share by un-ticking the “Share Over: SMB” box. Select the share in the “Shared Folders” window and click the pencil icon (or double-click the share).ġ6.

We now need to edit user access to the share. This will add the DS_Repo folder to the “Shared Folders” list in Server.app.ġ5. Once found, select (not open!) the folder, and click the “Choose” button.ġ4. In the Finder window, navigate to the “DS_Repo” folder we created in step 3.ġ3. Now we’ll add our DS Repo folder to the file sharing. I tend to remove this, simply by clicking the name, and clicking the minus (“-“) button, followed by the “Remove” button in the pop up window.ġ1. By default, your log in account’s home folder is automatically configured for sharing.ġ0. Set the Home Folder option to “None – Services Only” and click “Create”.Ĩ. Once created, go to the “File Sharing” section of the Server.appĩ. Do not click the “Allow user to administer this server” box, its not needed. This account will have read and write access to the DS Repo so should have a secure password.

Now launch your Server.app from the dock or the Applications folder (“/Applications/Server.app”).ĥ. Once loaded, go to the “Users” section of the Server.app.Ħ. Click the plus (“+”) symbol to start the new account creation.ħ. Enter “DS Repo Access” for the Full name (automatically filling in the Account Name with “dsrepoaccess”) and enter the desired password. My personal preference is to use underscores (“_”) in place of spaces in folders that system services or automation solutions may use, to minimise any risk if the related solution may have a bug!ģ. Inside this folder, create another new one called “DS_Repo”Ĥ. This will be used to host the server shares. Create a new folder here called “File_Shares”.

In the Finder GUI, navigate to the root of your non-boot / data drive.Ģ.

Personally, I’ll create a “File Shares” directory on the non-boot / data volume of the server, which is what I’ll do for our example. I’ve seen some admins try to configure this as the same location as the NetBoot image store (more on that next time), but I would highly suggest treating it as every other kind of file share. This is referred to as the DS Repository or DS Repo for short. In a similar way to Casper (and I believe SCCM), DS utilises a network file share to host and access the data it uses during the imaging process. I will also be using “Repo” as shorthand for “Repository” throughout this series. I will often be using “DS” as shorthand for “DeployStudio” throughout this series. Amsys will not compensate you in any way whatsoever if you ever happen to suffer a loss/inconvenience/damage because of/while making use of information in this blog. While the author has taken care to provide our readers with accurate information, please use your discretion before acting upon information based on the blog post. These should leave you with a fully functioning DeployStudio solution. ‘Part 3’ should cover the configuration of the Netboot service and building of the DeployStudio NetBoot set. This ‘part 2’ looks to cover the configuration of the DeployStudio Repository and server.
