.SH NAME

nodes.conf \- Warewulf node configuration database

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP

\fBnodes.conf\fP is the primary database file for all compute nodes
(and node profiles). It is a flat text YAML configuration file that is
managed by \fBwwctl(1)\fP.

While manual editing of the \fBnodes.conf\fP file is possible and can
be useful, the internal structure of the file is subject to change
without notice between Warewulf versions. The recommended and only
supported mechanism for updating \fBnodes.conf\fP is via
\fBwwctl(1)\fP.
