## Questions & Discussions

- **Julien Tournier**

- Will it be possible to customize the root password?

- Not yet, but feasible.

- How is _seapath-live-installer_ built? Is it Yocto-based?

- It is available on GitHub and based on Debian.
- It is possible to use another base, including Yocto.

- **Laurent Morin**

- Asked whether tools are available to set up clustering.

- Clustering uses Ansible.
- Question raised about embedding Ansible during installation.

- **Maxime Pelletier**

- Has the installer been tested by someone else in the community?

- Not yet. It was released on Monday.

- Is it possible to add custom images?

- The SEAPATH installer comes with pre-built images, but custom SEAPATH images can be added. Optional description files can be provided to improve how images appear during installation.

- **Paul & Aiswarya**

- Presented and explained the SEAPATH installer GitHub repositories and how to customize the installer.
- Pre-generated ISO files will be added soon.

- **Maxime Pelletier**

- Who is going to Enlit?

- Eloi Bail & Mathieu Dupré (Savoir-faire Linux). They will have a booth with SEAPATH demos alongside SMPnet and GE Vernova.
- Maxime Pelletier (RTE) will be present and give a talk about SEAPATH.
- Daniel Schaefer (Red Hat) will also have a booth.
- SMPnet will demo their Omega VM running on SEAPATH at the SFL booth.
- Tony Milne (Advantech) will be at the Advantech booth.

- **Marcelo Tosatti**

- Does CI work on both Yocto and Debian?

- Yes. CI exists for Yocto, Debian, CentOS and Oracle Linux.

- Is CentOS disabled?

- No, it has never been disabled, only temporarily inaccessible.

- Is there a description of default users?

- It depends on the flavor.
- Yocto includes an additional local rescue user: **emergadmin**.
- All systems include default **admin** and **ansible** users.
- Flavors should be aligned regarding user accounts.

- **Additional note**
