CoreOS on Baremetal

CoreOS on Baremetal contains guides for network booting and configuring CoreOS clusters on virtual or physical hardware.

Guides

• Libvirt Guide
• Baremetal Guide

bootcfg

bootcfg is a service that renders signed Ignition configs, cloud-configs, network boot configs, and metadata to machines based on hardware attributes (e.g. UUID, MAC) or tags (e.g. os=installed, region=us-central) to create CoreOS clusters. Network boot endpoints provide PXE, iPXE, and Pixiecore support. bootcfg can run as an application container with rkt, as a Docker container, or as a binary.

Examples

Use the examples to boot machines into CoreOS clusters of higher-order systems, like Kubernetes. Quickly setup a network of virtual hardware on your Linux box for testing with the libvirt script.

• TLS-auth Kubernetes cluster (1 master, 1 worker, 1 etcd)
• Multi Node etcd cluster
• Install CoreOS to disk with followup Ignition stages
