Warewulf Installation
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
There are multiple methods to install Warewulf. This page describes
|
|
the installation process for some of those methods.
|
|
|
|
Binary RPMs
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The Warewulf project builds binary RPMs as part of its CI/CD
|
|
process. You can obtain them from the `GitHub releases`_ page.
|
|
|
|
.. _GitHub releases: https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf/releases
|
|
|
|
Rocky Linux 8
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# dnf install https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf/releases/download/v4.5.2/warewulf-4.5.2-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
openSuse Leap
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# zypper install https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf/releases/download/v4.5.2/warewulf-4.5.2-1.suse.lp155.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
Compiled Source code
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Before you build the Warewulf source code you will first need to
|
|
install the build dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* ``make``: This should be available via your Linux distribution's
|
|
package manager (e.g. ``dnf install make``)
|
|
* ``go``: Golang is also available on most current Linux
|
|
distributions, but if you wish to install the most recent version,
|
|
you can find that here: `https://golang.org/dl/
|
|
<https://golang.org/dl/>`_
|
|
* Depending on your Linux Distribution, you may need to install other
|
|
development packages. Typically it is recommended to install the
|
|
entire development group like ``dnf groupinstall "Development
|
|
Tools"``
|
|
|
|
Once these dependencies are installed, you can obtain and build the
|
|
source code as follows:
|
|
|
|
Release Tarball
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The Warewulf project releases source distributions alongside its
|
|
binary RPMs. You can obtain them from the `GitHub releases`_ page.
|
|
|
|
Select the version you wish to install and download the tarball to any
|
|
location on the server, then follow these directions making the
|
|
appropriate substitutions:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
curl -LO https://github.com/warewulf/warewulf/releases/download/v4.5.2/warewulf-4.5.2.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xf warewulf-4.5.2.tar.gz
|
|
cd warewulf-4.5.2
|
|
make all && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Git
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Warewulf is developed in GitHub, a source code management platform
|
|
that allows collaborative development and revision control. From the
|
|
Git repository, you can download different versions of the project
|
|
either from tags or branches. By default, when you go to the GitHub
|
|
page, you will find the default branch entitled ``development``. The
|
|
``development`` branch is where most of the active development occurs,
|
|
so if you want to obtain the latest and greatest version of Warewulf,
|
|
this is where to go. But be forewarned, using a snapshot from
|
|
``development`` is not guaranteed to be stable or generally supported
|
|
for production.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the ``main`` branch is more stable and is used as a
|
|
staging area for pending releases.
|
|
|
|
If you are building for production, it is best to download a release
|
|
tarball from the main site, the GitHub releases page, or from a Git
|
|
tag.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/hpcng/warewulf.git
|
|
cd warewulf
|
|
git checkout development # or switch to a tag like 'v4.5.2'
|
|
make all && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Runtime Dependencies
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
In Warewulf's default configuration, it will require some operating
|
|
system provided services. Generally these are provided by your
|
|
installation vendor and can be installed over the network.
|
|
|
|
These are the services you will need to install:
|
|
|
|
* ``dhcp-server``
|
|
* ``tftp-server``
|
|
* ``nfs-utils``
|
|
|
|
If you are using an Enterprise Linux compatible distribution you can
|
|
install them with ``yum install dhcp-server tftp-server nfs-utils``.
