| travnewmatic | well i'm super flipping happy that i've managed to get maas setup | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| travnewmatic | i got juju on one of the deployed nodes | 00:00 |
| travnewmatic | with two machines part of that juju environment | 00:00 |
| travnewmatic | life is good | 00:00 |
| travnewmatic | HOWEVER.. how to centos? can someone point me in a direction? | 00:00 |
| catbus1 | according to kiko, j^2 might know how. | 00:01 |
| j^2 | :) | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | :D | 00:01 |
| j^2 | ah yeah | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | sorry i forgot how to read :D | 00:02 |
| travnewmatic | well j^2 can you point me in a direction? | 00:02 |
| j^2 | the tl;dr of getting Centos working: https://github.com/jjasghar/maas/blob/centos/recipes/centos.rb | 00:03 |
| travnewmatic | ooooo | 00:03 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:06 |
| travnewmatic | would this same thing work for centos 6.5? | 00:06 |
| j^2 | i think so but i’m not 100% sure | 00:12 |
| j^2 | my requirements where just centos7 and 1404 | 00:13 |
| travnewmatic | mhm | 00:14 |
| travnewmatic | j^2, apparently i dont know how to execute ruby scripts | 00:28 |
| travnewmatic | root@tnewman3:~# ruby centos.rb | 00:29 |
| travnewmatic | centos.rb:1:in `<main>': undefined method `include_recipe' for main:Object (NoMethodError) | 00:29 |
| j^2 | oh sorry | 00:30 |
| j^2 | yeah it’s a chef recipe | 00:30 |
| j^2 | you’ll have to covert it to what you need done | 00:30 |
| j^2 | the first one is check out the bazaar repo | 00:30 |
| travnewmatic | mhm | 00:31 |
| j^2 | then the execute blocks (command) are the bash commands you need to do | 00:31 |
| travnewmatic | so i need to install chef | 00:31 |
| j^2 | technically no, that recipe is pretty straight forward, you should be able to pull out the code that you need to repo | 00:32 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:33 |
| travnewmatic | still not sure how to use this thing :( | 00:35 |
| j^2 | ah ok | 00:35 |
| j^2 | yeah that’s the best i got :( | 00:35 |
| travnewmatic | well poop | 00:36 |
| travnewmatic | perhaps if i could find out how the ubutu image was created and deployed | 00:43 |
| travnewmatic | so for those interested | 01:33 |
| travnewmatic | https://code.launchpad.net/~maas-maintainers/maas/maas-image-builder | 01:33 |
| travnewmatic | currently using this to attempt to build a centos 6 image (slightly modified to use our own mirrors) | 01:34 |
| travnewmatic | this thing here: | 01:36 |
| travnewmatic | sudo ./bin/build centos amd64 --centos-edition 7 | 01:36 |
| travnewmatic | for our purposes | 01:38 |
| travnewmatic | we changed the 7 to 6 | 01:38 |
| travnewmatic | and as i mentioned before, modified the urls to our own centos mirror to speed things up a bt | 01:39 |
| travnewmatic | bit | 01:39 |
| travnewmatic | it seems as though it fetches the installer iso, installs it to a qemu virtual machine, takes a snapshot, and thats what gets sent to the node | 01:39 |
| travnewmatic | right now its in the process of getting installed to the qemu vm on the maas controller | 01:40 |
| travnewmatic | so i wonder | 02:17 |
| travnewmatic | do yall know the guy that wrote this? | 02:17 |
| travnewmatic | Author: Blake Rouse <blake.rouse@canonical.com> | 02:17 |
| rbasak | blake_r: blake_r: ^^ | 02:24 |
| travnewmatic | rbasak, thats awesome! thanks! | 02:47 |
| mn_ | Hi, i've got a problem with sticky ip addresses. even i assigned them successfully, during dhcp they are not assigned to the node - instead one from the dynamic pool is picked (using maas 1.7.1) | 09:56 |
| mn_ | any ideas what the issue could be? | 09:59 |

| kiko | travnewmatic_, woot! | 12:40 |
| kiko | travnewmatic_, but I thought you were not even managing to netboot -- did you get past that point or was a PXE request actually happening? | 12:41 |
| kiko | oh I had an answer for mn_ | 12:41 |

| travnewmatic_ | good news everyone! it appears as though the image creation succeeded! when i arrived at work this morning i was greety with this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rbjlf7pafjk6g6t/Screenshot%202015-02-20%2010.09.25.png?dl=0 | 16:13 |

| kiko | travnewmatic_, is your mirror public? | 16:24 |
| travnewmatic_ | our centos mirror is public yes | 16:25 |
| kiko | I'm asking because j^2 was having issues using the default centos mirrors and perhaps switching to yours would work better | 16:25 |
| travnewmatic_ | yeah lemme find the url | 16:25 |
| kiko | travnewmatic_, either that or a bzr diff that he can just apply as a patch? | 16:25 |
| travnewmatic_ | http://dist1.800hosting.com/centos/6/os/x86_64 | 16:29 |
| j^2 | Ah that's cent6 | 16:30 |
| travnewmatic_ | but we've got 7 on there as well | 16:30 |
| travnewmatic_ | browse away! | 16:30 |
| j^2 | kiko: how do I override the URL? | 16:30 |
| kiko | travnewmatic_ has a patch :) | 16:31 |
| j^2 | Oh ok, link? And I'm not too versed in bzr, so some advice there too would be nice ;) | 16:32 |
| travnewmatic_ | i just cut and paste | 16:35 |
| travnewmatic_ | :D | 16:35 |
| travnewmatic_ | i modified the the urls in ~/maas-image-builder/builder/osystems/centos.py | 16:36 |
| travnewmatic_ | easy peasy | 16:36 |
| travnewmatic_ | you know what would be super mega flipping awesome | 16:38 |
| travnewmatic_ | is if the maas image builder was build into maas proper | 16:38 |
| j^2 | travnewmatic_: thanks for the pointer | 16:50 |
| travnewmatic_ | welcome! | 16:50 |
| travnewmatic_ | though my friend suggested that things like this are supposed to use the round robin mirror | 16:50 |
| travnewmatic_ | so the load is distributed | 16:51 |
| travnewmatic_ | but of course we dont mind we're happy to help! | 16:52 |
| travnewmatic_ | https://www.dropbox.com/s/ql9bkd9zqyg0bq1/Screenshot%202015-02-20%2010.59.58.png?dl=0 | 17:00 |
| travnewmatic_ | the shit worked | 17:00 |
| travnewmatic_ | absolutely amazing | 17:00 |
| kiko | course it did! | 17:01 |
| travnewmatic_ | that image builder thing needs to get built into the maas front end | 17:03 |
| travnewmatic_ | for realsies | 17:03 |
| kiko | we know | 17:04 |
| travnewmatic_ | sorry :D | 17:05 |
| travnewmatic_ | still | 17:06 |
| travnewmatic_ | this is all very very very impressive | 17:07 |
| travnewmatic_ | anything i can do to help? | 17:07 |
| kiko | yes, blog about it :) | 17:07 |
| travnewmatic_ | i plan to ;) | 17:08 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: /me should merge curtinator into maas-image-builder https://launchpad.net/curtinator | 17:19 |
| roadmr | er... me :) | 17:20 |
| travnewmatic_ | :D | 17:20 |
| travnewmatic_ | i've seen curtains around | 17:20 |
| travnewmatic_ | but i'm not sure what that does in the grand scheme of things | 17:20 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: it builds maas-installable images from stock Ubuntu isos, useful if you want to deploy ubuntu desktop using maas | 17:20 |
| travnewmatic_ | vs the maas image builder method with installs to a VM and takes a snapshot | 17:21 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: that's pretty much what curtinator does, only the hooks it has are customized for ubuntu rather than rhel or centos | 17:21 |
| travnewmatic_ | hmm | 17:22 |
| travnewmatic_ | is theres a time difference? | 17:22 |
| travnewmatic_ | the maas-image-builder took a very very long time (though i can't argue with the results ;)) | 17:22 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: as in, how long it takes? curtinator takes about 10 minutes on an SSD system, I'd imagine about 30 on a rotary hard disk | 17:22 |
| travnewmatic_ | i think my centos bake took a few hours to complete | 17:23 |
| travnewmatic_ | granted, this isnt super bleeding edge hardware | 17:23 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: if yours is much slower (i.e. takes over 1 hour), maybe you're not using hardware virtualization... | 17:24 |
| travnewmatic_ | mmmmmmmm | 17:24 |
| travnewmatic_ | tahts a good point | 17:25 |
| travnewmatic_ | the servers i'm using arent super recent | 17:25 |
| travnewmatic_ | dell 1950's | 17:25 |
| roadmr | travnewmatic_: they should support hardware virtualization, nearly every server from the past 6-8 years should support it | 17:26 |
| travnewmatic_ | hmm then thats something i can look into | 17:26 |
| kiko | roadmr, yeah, we should totally merge | 17:36 |
| travnewmatic_ | http://www.travnewmatic.com/2015/02/ubuntu-maas-maas-image-builder-centos-6.html | 18:43 |
| travnewmatic_ | rip it to shreds! | 18:43 |
| catbus1 | travnewmatic_: \o/ | 18:54 |
| kiko | travnewmatic_ rocks the boat | 19:02 |
| kiko | Linux clippings, dance music, and more | 19:03 |
| kiko | literally | 19:03 |
| j^2 | travnewmatic_: good writeup :) | 19:05 |
| travnewmatic_ | weeeew | 19:05 |
| travnewmatic_ | feedback feedback what can i add or change or what do yall recommend? | 19:06 |
| j^2 | travnewmatic_: that link to the script is to my pr isnt it? | 19:34 |
| j^2 | yeah that’s to abranch that’ll be merged into master soonish | 19:34 |
| === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk | ||
| kiko | j^2, when you can actually get the build to work i guess :) | 20:37 |
| travnewmatic_ | j^2, what do you mean? | 20:47 |
| j^2 | you linked a WIP branch | 20:47 |
| j^2 | kiko: sad but true yeah | 20:48 |
| kiko | j^2, were you able to reproduce your problem? | 20:49 |
| j^2 | yep | 20:49 |
| kiko | oh, really! | 20:49 |
| kiko | and you don't have a transp proxy in front of you or something odd like that? | 20:49 |
| travnewmatic_ | j^2, https://code.launchpad.net/~maas-maintainers/maas/maas-image-builder <-this | 20:50 |
| j^2 | kiko: nope, it’s a direct connection | 20:51 |
| j^2 | travnewmatic_: https://github.com/jjasghar/maas/blob/centos/recipes/centos.rb | 20:52 |
| travnewmatic_ | oh thats you! | 20:52 |
| travnewmatic_ | :D | 20:52 |
| travnewmatic_ | didnt make that connection | 20:52 |
| j^2 | yep | 20:52 |
| kiko | j^2, so two machines on your network present the same issue | 20:53 |
| kiko | mmmmm! | 20:53 |
| kiko | and always on different packages? | 20:53 |
| kiko | I assume you are able to install centos standalone (i.e. not in a VM) normally.. | 20:53 |
| j^2 | yep | 21:00 |
| j^2 | and yeah it’s been different pkgs | 21:01 |
