| geodb27 | People : hi ! I'm trying to follow this document : https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart to create a customized auto-install cd of 20.04 lts, however, I'm stuck with the iso creation. The example shown deals with a vm hosted on a computer and launched via kvm. This is not what I have to do : I must create vms with vcenter/vmware. So far as I know, I can only mount an iso and instruct to boot on it. So, how can I get | 11:58 |
| geodb27 | an automated install on this infrastructure ? | 11:58 |
| rbasak | Do you have a reason for not just using a cloud image? | 12:00 |
| Ussat | you need to use the esxi comnmand line version of the kvm --boot option | 12:02 |
| Ussat | and...there are better ways | 12:03 |
| geodb27 | Ussat: If there is a better and easier way to achieve that, then I'll take it. I have around 20 machines to create, each with the same partionning schema. Basically, the only changes between these 20 vms are their name and IP address. | 12:09 |
| geodb27 | rbasak: I've setup a machine manually and have all the yaml descriptions I need in /var/log/installer/curtin-install-cfg.yaml so, I guess that I can use part of it as a base, indeed. | 12:10 |
| Ussat | On esxi build one system exactly how you want it, then make clones | 12:13 |
| Ussat | Thats exactly what templates are for | 12:13 |
| geodb27 | This could be a solution, indeed. But that's not the way we process. I've written that these 20 machines would be quite the same, this is not true as for the cpu/ram/disks. | 12:17 |
| Ussat | so ? once the systems are created use esxi to modify that | 12:19 |
| Ussat | Basically, either you want clones or not, esxi does not have the ability to use cli tools lkike you want | 12:20 |
| Ussat | or, use KVM | 12:20 |
| geodb27 | Ussat: I know it, but for historical reasons, we maintain our vm this way : one kind-of kickstart (redhat/ubuntu) to primo install our vms. No use of esxi templates or the like. So, I must conform to what I'm expected to do. | 12:32 |
| Ussat | .. | 12:32 |
| Ussat | Um.....ok. | 12:32 |
| Ussat | Not a good reason, but gluck then | 12:32 |
| geodb27 | That said, is there a way to give the preseeded file (cloud-init syntax) as one did with 18.04 version of lts ? Some kernel parameter to feed ? | 12:34 |
| rbasak | Then use kvm to prepare a cloud image - no installer needed - and then hand that image over to vmware? | 12:46 |
| floogy | Hi, I can't get wifi with netplan working on 20.04 raspberry Pi 3B+ | 13:11 |
| floogy | Uses netplan /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to create /run/netplan/wpa-wlan0.conf ? | 13:28 |
| floogy | I got a yaml lint validated /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml with awifi section. I ran sudo netplan try, sudo systemctl daemon-reload and sudo netplan apply. | 13:30 |
| floogy | reason=CONN_FAILED | 13:36 |
| floogy | wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=38:10:d5:73:45:3a status_code=16 | 13:37 |
| floogy | IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready | 13:38 |
| floogy | I don't know at all why it gets rejected. | 13:39 |
| floogy | https://pastebin.pl/view/78064dfa | 13:42 |
| floogy | Formerly I used raspbian (debian stretch) without issues with wpa_supplicant. the microSD died, and I saved it with gddrescue. fsck found merely no errors but a journal it could restore. Also vfat wasn't affected by the thousands of badblocks and -adareas. Now I mounted the image and looked into the wpa_supplicant.conf and found nothing special. | 13:49 |
| floogy | Using these examples: https://netplan.io/examples/#connecting-to-an-open-wireless-network | 13:51 |
| floogy | http://www.yamllint.com/ | 13:51 |
| floogy | Do I have to use hostapd? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1222278/detailed-how-to-or-example-needed-to-setup-an-access-point-using-netplan | 14:00 |
| floogy | But I want to use the raspi as a member in my LAN that joined the AVM Fritz!Box Router as accesspoint ... | 14:03 |
| geodb27 | Hi again. I'm trying to understand this document : https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart In particular the second Chapter "Run the install!" The kvm command given instructs the new vm to be build against a 10G disk (image.img), to use a second disk (seed.iso) and to boot (by which magic, this is not explained) on the mounted iso image as a cdrom. How is this method configured ? How does the install process know where | 14:47 |
| geodb27 | to mount/load the seed.iso ? | 14:47 |
| rbasak | geodb27: the installer is intended for bare metal, so you would boot bootable media just the same as you do normally. | 14:55 |
| rbasak | You said that you're using vmware. In that case "how to boot an ISO" is a vmware question and not specific to Ubuntu. | 14:55 |
| geodb27 | rbasak: thanks for your answer, but I fear that you misunderstood my question. So I will try to elaborate : I just wanted to know how the installer is instructed to search the /dev/sdb for cloud-init files. I know how to boot an iso in vmware and that was not my last question. Sorry for the misunderstanding. | 15:06 |
| rbasak | geodb27: ah. I think that's maybe https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html | 15:15 |
| rbasak | cloud-init scans all drives for those criteria AIUI | 15:15 |
| rbasak | Sorry that's probably the wrong link | 15:16 |
| rbasak | I meant https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/nocloud.html | 15:16 |
| geodb27 | Thank you so much rbasak, I think that with that, I'll be abble to do what I want ! | 15:18 |
| Thumpxr | Anyone got a clue, how i can "cut" my own domain from a log file which fail2ban parses? | 18:45 |
| === adammc is now known as adam_mc3 | ||
| Thumpxr | got it ... it's not cutting/removing but rather writing the regex so that it checks the hostname later. >> failregex = mydomain.tld.* <HOST>.*POST.*(wp-login\.php|xmlrpc\.php).* 200 | 18:51 |
| tafa2 | How do you guys do file level backups on *nix production servers? I'm trying to find a pull based solution/method with deduplication. Any recommendations? | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | borg and restic, and (very different) bacula, are the backup systems i see most recomended. i'm not sure whether any of them support pull (bacula probably does). | 20:35 |
| tafa2 | tomreyn bacula does, borg and restic don't natively | 20:42 |
| tomreyn | so... you already know? | 20:42 |
| floogy | Is it a good idea to mount /var per nfs to reduce write access on microSD cards on the raspberry Pi? Maybe with a script, that switches to tmpfs if the netdrive isn't available? | 21:27 |
