wwctl overlay info
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
A new ``wwctl overlay info`` command lists variables used by an overlay
|
|
template, including the ``wwctl <node|profile> set`` argument used to set that
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# wwctl overlay info ifcfg /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg.ww
|
|

|
$netdev.Device --netdev string Set the device for given network
|
|
$netdev.Gateway --gateway IP Set the node's IPv4 network device gateway
|
|

|
|

wwctl image import --update
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The ``wwctl image import`` command has included an ``--update`` option since
|
|
v4.6.0, but it has not been functional. The option now imports an image
|
|
on-top-of an existing image and is meant to be used to update an existing image
|
|
with new files from an updated upstream or external image (e.g., by importing a
|
|
new version of an image from an OCI registry).
|
|
|
|
wwclient
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
One of the last real impediments to multi-architecture support in Warewulf has
|
|
been the wwclient daemon which, though distributed to cluster nodes, has been
|
|
built only for the architecture of the Warewulf server. Now, new
|
|
``wwclient.aarch64`` and ``wwclient.x86_64`` overlays provide
|
|
architecture-specific builds of wwclient for aarch64 and x86_64 nodes,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
wwclient has also been enhanced with IPv6 support, and now properly handles
|
|
recently-used addresses when restarting.
|
|
|
|
Network management
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
A number of network management improvements have been made. Most deal with
|
|
improving IPv6 support. The ``debian.interfaces`` overlay has been renamed to
|
|
``ifupdown`` to better reflect its support for both Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine
|
|
systems. The ``netplan`` and ``NetworkManager`` overlay have improved support
|
|
for bonded interfaces; and a new ``systemd-networkd`` overlay adds support for
|
|
the systemd networking daemon.
|
|
|
|
Packaging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The openEuler 24.03 RPM package now uses dnsmasq by default.
|
|
|
|
Development
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Work has resumed on support for using Vagrant to initialize a basic testing /
|
|
development environment with libvirt.
|
|
|
|
warewulf-dracut
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A bug between ``warewulf-dracut`` and the ``ignition`` overlay previously prevented
|
|
non-root filesystems from mounting when provisioning the image to disk. A fix in
|
|
``warewulf-dracut`` prevents ignition from running twice, allowing all file
|
|
systems to mount properly. The ``wwinit`` dracut module also no longer runs the
|
|
wwinit module if root is not set to ``root=wwclient*``.
|
|
|
|
These fixes require installing the updated ``warewulf-dracut`` package in the
|
|
node image.
|
|
|
|
Other fixes
|
|
===========
|

|
|
- Fix ImageDelete API not returning error when checking if image is used by nodes/profiles. #1705
|

|
|
- Automatically create a GPT label when ``sfdisk`` overlay wipes disks. #2025
