- Created README.md for Central setup documentation. - Added dnsmasq configuration files and scripts for setting up DNS and PXE booting. - Implemented nginx configuration to serve PXE boot assets. - Developed setup.sh script to automate installation and configuration of dnsmasq and nginx. - Removed outdated dnsmasq setup guide from documentation.
Central setup
"Central" is a Wild-cloud concept for a network appliance use for cloud utilities.
Right now, this is entirely dnsmasq to provide:
- LAN DNS w/ forwarding of internal and external cloud domains to the cluster.
- PXE for setting up cluster nodes.
Setup
The setup is going through architecture design right now.
- Initially, the process used to bootstrap a node was:
- Run
bin/install-dnsmasqin your personal wildcloud dir to create a set of install files incluster/dnsmasq. - Copy this dir to a configured debian machine to have the services set up correctly as your Central.
- Run
Future setup
To provide a better user experience, we have been creating a debian apt package that also does this while providing a UI.
Development repo: https://github.com/civil-society-dev/wild-central
The setup will look something like this:
# Download and install GPG key
curl -fsSL https://mywildcloud.org/apt/wild-cloud-central.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/wild-cloud-central-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
# Add repository (modern .sources format)
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wild-cloud-central.sources << 'EOF'
Types: deb
URIs: https://mywildcloud.org/apt
Suites: stable
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/wild-cloud-central-archive-keyring.gpg
EOF
# Update and install
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wild-cloud-central
