=====================================
Debian 12 Quickstart
=====================================


Install the basic services
==========================

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt install firewalld nfs-kernel-server tftpd-hpa isc-dhcp-server


.. note::

   If you get an error message concerning *isc-dhcp-server.service* you
   probably need to configure the network intarface that isc-dhcp-server
   will listen to. Run ``sudo dpkg-reconfigure isc-dhcp-server`` and enter
   the name of your cluster's private network interface (e.g. enp2s0). After that, you might also need to run ``sudo systemctl enable isc-dhcp-server``.



Install Warewulf and dependencies
=================================


.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt install build-essential curl unzip

   sudo apt install git golang libnfs-utils libgpgme-dev libassuan-dev


   mkdir ~/git
   cd ~/git
   git clone https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf.git
   cd warewulf
   git checkout main # or switch to a tag like 'v4.4.0'
   make all && sudo make install



Configure firewalld
===================

Restart firewalld to register the added service file, add the service
to the default zone, and reload.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo systemctl restart firewalld
   sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service warewulf
   sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service nfs
   sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service tftp
   sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Configure the controller
========================

Edit the file ``/etc/warewulf/warewulf.conf`` and ensure that you've
set the appropriate configuration parameters. Here are some of the
defaults for reference assuming that ``192.168.200.1`` is the IP
address of your cluster's private network interface:

.. code-block:: yaml

	WW_INTERNAL: 45
	ipaddr: 192.168.200.1
	netmask: 255.255.255.0
	network: 192.168.200.0
	warewulf:
	  port: 9873
	  secure: false
	  update interval: 60
	  autobuild overlays: true
	  host overlay: true
	  syslog: false
	dhcp:
	  enabled: true
	  range start: 192.168.200.50
	  range end: 192.168.200.99
	  systemd name: isc-dhcp-server
	tftp:
	  enabled: true
	  systemd name: tftpd-hpa
	nfs:
	  enabled: true
	  export paths:
	  - path: /home
		export options: rw,sync
		mount options: defaults
		mount: true
	  - path: /opt
		export options: ro,sync,no_root_squash
		mount options: defaults
		mount: false
	  systemd name: nfs-server

.. note::

   The DHCP range ends at ``192.168.200.99`` and as you will see
   below, the first node static IP address (post boot) is configured
   to ``192.168.200.100``.

Start and enable the Warewulf service
=====================================

.. code-block:: bash

   # Start and enable the warewulfd service
   sudo systemctl enable --now warewulfd

Configure system services automatically
=======================================

There are a number of services and configurations that Warewulf relies
on to operate.  If you wish to configure all services, you can do so
individually (omitting the ``--all``) will print a help and usage
instructions.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl configure --all

.. note::

   If you just installed the system fresh and have SELinux enforcing,
   you may need to reboot the system at this stage to properly set the
   contexts of the TFTP contents. After rebooting, you might also need
   to run ``$ sudo restorecon -Rv /var/lib/tftpboot/`` if there are
   errors with TFTP still.

Pull and build the VNFS container (including the kernel)
========================================================

This will pull a basic VNFS container from Docker Hub and import the
default running kernel from the controller node and set both in the
"default" node profile.

.. code-block:: bash

   wwctl container import docker://ghcr.io/warewulf/warewulf-debian:12.0 debian-12.0


Set up the default node profile
===============================

Node configurations can be set via node profiles. Each node by default
is configured to be part of the ``default`` node profile, so any
changes you make to that profile will affect all nodes.

The following command will set the container we just imported above to
the ``default`` node profile:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl profile set --yes --container debian-12.0 "default"


Next we set some default networking configurations for the first
ethernet device. On modern Linux distributions, the name of the device
is not critical, as it will be setup according to the HW
address. Because all nodes will share the netmask and gateway
configuration, we can set them in the default profile as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl profile set --yes --netdev eth0 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.200.1 "default"

Once those configurations have been set, you can view the changes by
listing the profiles as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl profile list -a

Add a node
==========

Adding nodes can be done while setting configurations in one
command. Here we are setting the IP address of ``eth0`` and setting
this node to be discoverable, which will then automatically have the
HW address added to the configuration as the node boots.

Node names must be unique. If you have node groups and/or multiple
clusters, designate them using dot notation.

Note that the full node configuration comes from both cascading
profiles and node configurations which always supersede profile
configurations.

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl node add n0000.cluster --ipaddr 192.168.200.100 --discoverable true

At this point you can view the basic configuration of this node by
typing the following:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl node list -a n0000.cluster

To make node changes effective, it is a good practice to update warewulf
overlays with the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo wwctl overlay build

Now, turn on your compute node and watch it boot!
