DEPRECATED: The contents of this repo have been migrated to https://github.com/suse-edge/charts for ongoing development and maintenance.
This repo contains (almost) everything needed to get a working metal3 deployment up and running and demo bare metal provisioning.
Short version is that stuff in scripts is executable, scripts/script.sh is the main deploy script that does all the work. If you wanna read it, start at the bottom in the Default function to see what it does if you give it no args. Otherwise it calls whatever function you pass as args.
Stuff in deploy is all the Kube YAML stuff. It's grouped by deployable thing, so ironic, rancher, etc. script.sh does the deploying of those things, which is typically just kustomize build | kubectl apply -f -.
For anything that looks like it's a missing file in the repo, like Secrets, check templates.d, which mirrors the same hierarchy as deploy. Those get rendered from templates.d into deploy using scripts/render-templates.sh.
ipa-patcher has a Dockerfile and script that captures the manual stuff I was doing to patch the busted systemd unit in the IPA initramfs.
The script should work on ANY Ubuntu 22.04 host, since all the hardware-specific stuff is done by Ironic. And the only Ubuntu-specific bits are the parts where it installs packages if they're missing.
By default, the external DNS provider is cloudflare. This means the environment variable CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN must be set and it must contains a valid CloudFlare API token where external DNS can utilize it to update DNS records for a given zone.
External DNS can also support pdns (PowerDNS) provider. In order to use PowerDNS as external DNS provider, the following environment must be set.
- EXTERNAL_DNS_PROVIDER: must contain the value
pdns - POWERDNS_SERVER_URL: the PowerDNS API endpoint. i.e.
https://10.43.255.254:8081 - POWERDNS_API_KEY: the PowerDNS API key which authorize external DNS to update DNS records for a given zone
- DNS_DOMAIN: the domain, or DNS zone, to use for all the cluster DNS records
The helmcharts in the helm-charts folder is another deployment mechanism of the metal3 solution. Please check the README.md in the helm-charts folder for more details.
