===================================== 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 'v4.6.0rc1' 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 dhcp 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 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 - path: /opt export options: ro,sync,no_root_squash 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 image ======================== This will pull a basic image from Docker Hub and set it for the "default" node profile. .. code-block:: bash wwctl image import docker://ghcr.io/warewulf/warewulf-debian:12.0 debian-12.0 wwctl profile set default --image=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 image we just imported above to the ``default`` node profile: .. code-block:: bash sudo wwctl profile set --yes --image 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!
