pxe provides a Vagrantfile and scripts for setting up a PXE server in libvirt or on physical hardware.
pixiecore provides a Vagrantfile and scripts for setting up a Pixiecore server in libvirt or on physical hardware.
Setup
To develop with Vagrant, install the dependencies
# Fedora 22/23
dnf install vagrant vagrant-libvirt virt-manager
Usage
The Vagrantfile will setup a pxe_default VM running a PXE server with a configured static IP address, DHCP range, CoreOS kernel image, and cloud-config. The VM will be connected to a network called vagrant-pxe.
libvirt Provider
vagrant up --provider libivrt
vagrant ssh
Once the PXE server has started, you can start client VMs within the vagrant-libvirt network which should boot as PXE clients.
Launch virt-manager to create a new virtual machine. When prompted, select Network Boot (PXE), skip adding a disk, and choose the vagrant-libvirt network.
If you see "Nothing" to boot, try force resetting the client VM.
Use SSH to connect to a client VM after boot and cloud-config succeed. The CLIENT_IP will be visible in the virt-manager console.
ssh core@CLIENT_IP # requires ssh_authorized_keys entry in cloud-config
Configuration
The Vagrantfile parses the config.rb file for several variables you can use to configure network settings.
Reload
If you change the Vagrantfile or a configuration variable, reload the VM with
vagrant reload --provision
To try a new cloud-config, you can also scp the file onto the dev PXE server.
scp new-config.yml core@NODE_IP:/var/www/html/cloud-config.yml
