Blacksmith is a collection of DHCP, PXE, TFTP, and HTTP server, created with the purpose of booting CoreOS on bare-metal machines and configuring them by serving generated cloud-config and ignition files.
Warning: UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT. The data-source model may dramatically change in the near future. To be notified about the project getting more stable, please subscribe to this issue.
Blacksmith is available as a Docker image called cafebazaar/blacksmith.
Because Blacksmith needs to listen for DHCP traffic, it has to run with
the host network stack. You can use install-as-docker.sh to run
blacksmith as a docker container. The script has made some assumptions to
provide some of the required arguments of the blacksmith command.
To customize it according to your network layout, currently you have to edit
the script.
$ sudo ./install-as-docker.sh <workspace-path> <etcd-endpoints> <network-interface>Check this.
TODO: Add docker independent development instructions
You can use Vagrant to quickly setup a test environment:
(HOST)$ vagrant up --provider=libvirt pxeserver
(HOST)$ vagrant ssh pxeserver
