<p>With cdist you can install and configure new machines. You can use cdist to
|
|
create PreOS, minimal OS whose purpose is to boot a new machine.
|
|
After PreOS is booted, the machine is ready for installing the desired OS and
|
|
afterwards it is ready for configuration.</p>

<h2><span class="section-number">21.2. </span>PreOS creation<a class="headerlink" href="#preos-creation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>With cdist you can create PreOS.
|
|
Currently supported PreOS-es include:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><p>debian</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>ubuntu</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>devuan</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>PreOS is created using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cdist</span> <span class="pre">preos</span></code> command.
|
|
This command has subcommands that determine the desired PreOS.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, to create an ubuntu PreOS:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ cdist preos ubuntu /preos/preos-ubuntu -B -C <span class="se">\</span>
|
|
-k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p /preos/pxe-ubuntu
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>For more info about the available options see the cdist manual page.</p>
|
|
<p>This will bootstrap (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-B</span></code>) ubuntu PreOS in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/preos/preos-ubuntu</span></code>
|
|
directory, it will be configured (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-C</span></code>) using default the built-in initial
|
|
manifest and with specified ssh authorized key (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-k</span></code>).
|
|
After bootstrapping and configuration, the PXE boot directory will be
|
|
created (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-p</span></code>) in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/preos/pxe-ubuntu</span></code>.</p>
|
|
<p>After PreOS is created, new machines can be booted using the created PXE
|
|
(after proper dhcp and tftp settings).</p>
|
|
<p>Since PreOS is configured with ssh authorized key it can be accessed through
|
|
ssh, i.e. it can be further installed and configured with cdist.</p>

|
|
<p>preos command is implemented as a plugin system. This plugin system scans for
|
|
preos subcommands in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cdist/preos/</span></code> distribution directory and also in
|
|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.cdist/preos/</span></code> directory if it exists.</p>
|
|
<p>preos subcommand is a module or a class that satisfies the following:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li><p>it has the attribute <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_cdist_preos</span></code> set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code></p></li>
|
|
<li><p>it defines a function/method <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commandline</span></code>.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For a module-based preos subcommand, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commandline</span></code> function accepts a
|
|
module object as its first argument and the list of command line
|
|
arguments (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.argv[2:]</span></code>).</p>
|
|
<p>For a class-based preos subcommand <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commandline</span></code> method should be
|
|
static-method and must accept a class as its first argument and the
|
|
list of command line arguments (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.argv[2:]</span></code>).</p>
|
|
<p>If preos scanning finds a module/class that has <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_cdist_preos</span></code> set
|
|
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> and a function/method <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commandline</span></code> then this module/class is
|
|
registered to preos subcommands. The name of the command is set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_preos_name</span></code>
|
|
attribute if defined in the module/class, defaulting to the module/class name in lowercase.
|
|
When a registered preos subcommand is specified, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commandline</span></code>
|
|
will be called with the first argument set to module/class and the second
|
|
argument set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.argv[2:]</span></code>.</p>
