[fedora-arm] Discovering IP address of headless server

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am thinking about how to go about installing Fedora on a headless
server without use of a console connection.

1) some in arm-image-installer to provide root password instead of just
norootpassword. And then NOT to even stop the install at this initial
setup phase.

2) some way (other than tools like fping) to find the IP address of the
server.

3) Server management on port 9090 does all that would normally be done
in initial setup (I am kind of assuming it already does).

What else would be needed for a real headless install?  Or maybe it is
already there and I just missed the link...

thanks

Well mDNS is suited to this

I tend not to assume anything TBH, the fact is I don't believe a
device running on an open port able to set root passwords/create users
like initial-setup does locally is actually secure. How would you deal
with that problem.
