AustinLand Downloads¶
These downloads are preconfigured for the private slide.wtf environment. They trust the AustinLand certificate authority and connect to cloud.slide.wtf:443 in the Slide stage environment.
For slide.wtf only
Do not use these packages for a production slide.tech tenant. Installing one of these packages on a machine that already runs a production Slide Agent changes that agent to the AustinLand environment.
Slide Agent¶
Windows¶
Download the Windows agent bundle
The ZIP contains the signed upstream Slide Agent installer, the AustinLand CA, and Install-SlideWTF-Agent.ps1. Extract it, open an Administrator PowerShell window in that folder, and run:
For RMM use, you can also download the standalone PowerShell bootstrap. The bootstrap verifies that the installer has a valid Authenticode signature from Project Orca Inc before it runs.
Linux¶
On a supported Linux distribution:
curl -fsSLO https://docs.slide.wtf/downloads/install-slide-wtf-agent-linux.sh
chmod +x install-slide-wtf-agent-linux.sh
sudo ./install-slide-wtf-agent-linux.sh
Both installers print the pairing code when they finish. Pair the new system from Slide Console → Slide Boxes. The slide.wtf scheduler will prefer the least-loaded healthy BIC in the site.
Slide Box Imager¶
Slide Box Imager turns a physical x86-64 machine into a Slide Box:
- Write the ISO to a USB drive and boot it in UEFI or legacy BIOS mode.
- Wait five seconds for automatic boot.
- Use the local keyboard and monitor, or SSH with the random per-boot password and host fingerprint shown on the physical console. The password is a short three-word phrase such as
harbor-copper-willow. - Select a system disk, zero or more separate storage disks, and a pre-created Slide device ID (recommended) or serial/SKU/site enrollment.
- Review the recommended ZFS plan. The imager supports a dedicated OS or using the OS disk's remaining pool partition, plus either a capacity-oriented stripe or balanced mirrors. Multiple mirror pairs are striped together; an odd member count uses one three-way mirror.
- Review the exact disks, topology, and estimated capacity, then type
IMAGE. The verified Slide Box image is written, slide.wtf trust is injected, and enrollment completes on first boot. - Keep the local display attached until it shows
IMAGING COMPLETE. When a remote operator is connected, the local display clearly identifies that operator and mirrors the active phase and write progress throughout.
The default recommendation is tuned for all-NVMe hardware: it stripes the available NVMe storage for maximum usable capacity and aggregate performance. It also shares the OS disk's remaining pool partition when that space is at least half the size of the smallest separate storage disk, avoiding a mostly stranded same-size NVMe. A materially smaller boot device stays dedicated. Mirrors and either OS mode remain available choices locally or over SSH.
Selected disks are erased
The system disk is erased during imaging. When storage disks are selected, the first is erased immediately after confirmation and used as download scratch space; all selected storage disks are erased during first-boot pool creation. An OS-only plan instead needs about 2 GiB available RAM for verified scratch space. The boot medium and mounted/read-only disks are excluded, and the imager requires an explicit IMAGE confirmation.
No Console password, API token, device private key, or CA private key is stored in the ISO. For unattended operation, run slide-box-imager --help over SSH.
