[20:48] <greenride> I'm setting up a 4 node maas cluster in a home network with manual dhcp configuration. My router has the dhcp server, and it runs dhcp. Anyone know a tutorial for this setup? Mainly, I need help with the manual dhcp configuration.
[20:57] <h0mer> install dnsmasq or proxydhcp on a machine and have it serve up the PXE boot file and images.
[21:01] <greenride> h0mer: Are you suggesting this in place of maas or in addition to maas?
[21:01] <h0mer> in addition to it
[21:01] <h0mer> that's pretty much what i have set up at the moment
[21:02] <h0mer> at a later time ill be flashing my linksys router with dd-wrt which gives you the ability to specify the pxe settings on its internal dhcp server
[21:03] <greenride> h0mer: My router is running openwrt. So, I should be able to specify the pxe settings on the internal dhcp server.
[21:04] <greenride> Is there a reason that you aren't using the master maas node to serve the pxeboot images?
[21:05] <h0mer> can't you just ssh into the router and setup the pxe boot config?
[21:05] <h0mer> https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/configure.html#manual-dhcp
[21:07] <greenride> Those instructions are for ISC DHCP. I'm not familiar with all the settings. Where do I start learning about those settings/options?
[21:07] <greenride> But yes, I can ssh into the router.
[21:09] <greenride> Also, the /etc/config/dhcp file has a section for dnsmasq.
[21:09] <greenride> That's on the router.
[21:12] <greenride> Here's the /etc/config/dhcp file. https://dpaste.de/Zyea
[21:13] <greenride> I screwed up the cut and paste. This version is better. https://dpaste.de/Un8R
[21:18] <h0mer> on dd-wrt I can set a "next-server" option (for dnsmasq) which I pointed to the maas server IP and it booted from the tftp directory on the maas server
[21:19] <greenride> Did you have to setup the tftp server on the maas server?
[21:20] <h0mer> it should be there by default when you import the images on the maas gui.
[21:20] <greenride> Are you using Ubuntu's maas server or a different setup.
[21:20] <greenride> ?
[21:20] <lathiat> maas does that for you if you set it to managed mode
[21:20] <h0mer> ubutnu's maas
[21:20] <greenride> Thanks
[21:20] <greenride> Let me try that.
