Multi-boot/distro btrfs provisioning Some things are specific to my home network, and uses files with secrets that are not in this repo. Uses pxe or pxe-kexec (on libreboot, I have not added a pxe rom, I use a minimal debian stable subvolume which acts like a pxe rom). I use this for bare metal and vms, and two scripts which can run post boot so I use them on vps distributed image as well. Features people may find useful: installs encrypted trisquel belanos, , debian jessie, debian stretch, ubuntu 16.04, and arch (havne't done recently, probably a bit broken), in a multi-boot setup using multiple subvolumes of a single btrfs filesystem. Utilizes multiple disks, with scripts to automatically decrypt on intentional reboots, but not after shutdown or power loss. The partititioning and filesystem script is at fai/config/hooks/partition.DEFAULT. Other debian based distros at least as new as ubuntu 14.04 should work fine, and I'm planning to add Fedora support. Disks are grouped as ssd or hdd and raided in raid 1 or raid 0 per configuration. The base partitions are divided into boot, swap, and root, (only boot is unencrypted). There are scripts to resize those partitions post-provision and while the system is running. People who use fai may find these things as useful examples: it uses dnsmasq (on a openwrt machine) for dhcp instead of the isc dhcp. fai-wrapper is a small script to use basic fai classes outside of fai. It does not use the fai partitioning tool, but the script is inspired from it and works outside of fai. It also automates configuration of an openwrt router after manual initial installation. After provisionining is done, I sync files using btrfs, or unison for vps, then automate further setup using a different set of scripts, https://iankelling.org/git/?p=distro-setup;a=tree. My network is a wndr3700v2 router with openwrt on it and a few pcs/laptops. Since fai requires a debian server as the fai server, there are also scripts to automate a debian install using pxe and preseeding, which can be done from any distro. Some of the scripts have dependencies for some simple obvious utility scripts from https://iankelling.org/git, and of course there are some hostnames that are specific to my network. All scripts meant to be used directly are listed here: # Scripts to setup the environment for the install arch-pxe # Setup arch pxe boot server from an arch base image fai-redep # Deploy fai configuration to host "faiserver" faiserver-revm # using pxe & preseed, create a vm which is a fai server faiserver-uninstall # uninstall fai-server faiserver-setup # install fai-server on the current machine myfai-chboot # setup fai server for kexec, for use instead of "pxe-server" pxe-server # disable/enable fai or arch pxe boot server wrt-setup-remote # setup my router in general: dhcp, dns, etc. # Scripts to do a distro install arch-init-remote # install arch after it's been booted into it's setup env dsfull # install & post-install a new fai distro fai-kexec # kexec to fai tftp server that pxe would normally point to arch-revm # test arch install on a fresh vm fai-revm # test fai install on a fresh vm live-kexec # fai kexec from upstream live cds, e.g. curl live-kexec|bash # Scripts to call after a distro install for various reasons chboot # Set grub to boot into a different distro (installed earlier) install-chboot # reinstall chboot to /boot subvols, for chboot updates. eboot # reboot without automatic disk decryption fai-wrapper # use fai classes outside of fai. sourced, not called. faiserver-disable # Disable the fai nfs server exports fresize # resize swap or boot partitions in a host License stuff: The license for the project is GPLv2 or later, mostly because fai is and I periodically rebase off their example setup for debian. Also, there is a modified encrypt.upstream, which is from the cryptsetup package in arch, which is under the same license.
