9 About system installations
10 Do You...
11 ...use FAI already?
12 Another auto-installer or config management tool?
13 wonder how to rebuilt/restore configurations?
14 manually tinkered and tweaked over long time
15 Exactly, really
16 quick
17 Disk images
18 Create templates from ``proper'' installations
19 Copy when needed and adjust them as needed
20 Pros
21 low learning cost Simple and fast implementation: cp/rsync/tar/dd
22 Cons
23 Inflexible - the smallest change requires rebuilding the image Still manual work needed to get a installed system Storage cost linear to number of different configurations
24 Configuration with shell scripts
25 Manual work replaced by shell scripts
26 Pros
27 Much lower storage cost Higher flexibility Tailor made
28 Cons
29 Full-blown development project (you'll realize after a while) You solve every problem on your own, instead of reusing work of others
30 Use available Auto-Installer
31 Anaconda / Kickstart: Fedora-based
32 Autoyast: SuSE-based
33 Nlite/Unattend: Windows in many flavours
34 FAI: Debian-based, Fedora-based, SuSE-based, Windows experimental, Solaris possible
35 Others: Solaris Jumpstart RedHat Cobbler/Koan
36 About FAI
37 Why FAI?
38 Shellscript-based Simple, Flexible, easy to extend
39 Community support by seasoned "`Installers"'
40 Diverse client- and serverdistributions
41 Multiple installation types and system updates
42 Can be used for real hardware and virtualization systems
43 One-Step-Install bare metal to fully working system
44 Easily integrate other tools CFEngine Puppet Custom scripts
45 History
46 Started 1999 by Thomas Lange at the University of cologne
47 Base idea: structured and planned installation
48 Plan your installation, and FAI installs your plan
49 Part of the Debian Distribution
50 Today about 10 active developers, small but nice community
51 Since 2005 softupdates from Henning Glawe included
52 Who is using it for what?
53 EDF uses FAI (with GOSA) for some research clusters
54 LiMux in Munich: installs/updates 400(to be 14000) clients/servers
55 Multiple top 500 High Performance Clusters
56 Small home networks starting from 2 systems
57 GRML admin live CD built with FAI
58 Functionality
59 Overview
60 FAI classes
61 A class defines system properties and actions to be taken
62 Class-assignment with simple texfile, database, or scripts
63 Systems can be assigned to multiple classes combined at will
64 Server-distribution:
65 Debian-based Dependencies: Perl, NFS, TFTP, debootstrap So, easy to port!
66 Target-distributions:
67 Debian, Redhat, Ubuntu, Suse, Mandriva
68 Different installation types (networked, CD/USB, chroot)
69 Integrated versioning with subversion, CVS, git
70 System updates
71 Installation types
72 Network installation with central install server
73 Client/Server architecture
74 Directly calling dirinstall for chroots (Can be easy integrated into xen-tools, ganeti,...)
75 With grml-live: Live-CD generation!
76 The installation/update process
77 Most important FAI "tasks" (steps of installation)
78 defclass: Class definition(assignment) for the target system
79 partition: guess what?! :)
80 extrbase: Unpack a minimal base image
81 debconf: apply Debconf preseedings
82 instsoft: Software package installation
83 Configure: Run configuration scripts
84 savelog: Push logfiles on the install Server
85 Usage details
86 Considerations and Planning
87 Installation
88 Decide the matching install type (net/cd/dirinstall)
89 Plan your installation
90 Use cases Network and environment Software-packages Additional files and config adjustments Acess control, Identity Management,...
91 Using mirrors of Internet software repositories
92 Updates
93 How and when should which patches be applied?
94 Testing processes how do I know the effect of a patch/update?
95 Mirrors of security update repositories?
96 Automatic (scheduled, timebased) or manually started?
97 Setup and configuration
98 Installation on Debian: apt-get install fai-quickstart
99 Adjust install server setup in /etc/fai
100 fai.conf: LOGUSER=fai, LOGPROTO=ssh (for Logging via ssh) apt/sources.list: use local mirror if available make-fai-nfsroot.conf: local mirror for debootstrap
101 FAI server is configured! Now create NFSroot: fai-setup / make-fai-nfsroot
102 For PXE-Boot: fai-chboot to set boot-kernel, -options
103 Without PXE / Installation from CD: fai-cd
104 Infrastructure services for network install
105 DNS entry for server and clients
106 DHCP config: Host/IP/MAC as usual
107 some FAI-specific stuff: option root-path "/srv/fai/nfsroot..." server-name "faiserver"; # boot-server next-server ; # tftp server: kernel filename "pxelinux.0";
108 System configurations
109 Configurations for installation are stored in FAI configspace
110 Simple text files and scripts
111 requirements from installation plan are reflected here
112 Example included in /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/simple
113 Default location: /srv/fai/config
114 Contents of configspace
115 class disk_config basefiles debconf package_config scripts files hooks
116 Adjust configspace: class
117 class contains class- and variable definitions/assignments
118 Simplest way: assign classes based on hostnames
119 Some sample classes: FAISERVER, GNOME, DEMO, XORG
120 Any script can be used to assign classes
121 E.G.: check specific hardware, MAC or IP, disk size,...
122 Adjust configspace: basefiles
123 Minimal base images for non-debian distributions and special uses
124 Task "extrbase" checks this directory for matching images
125 Images named by classes
126 You could also put an image here and skip the rest :)
127 Adjust configspace: disk_config
128 detailed control over partitions and mounting
129 new tool includes lvm and raid setups
130 hard sizes or ranges
131 # example of new config file for setup-storage # # <type> <mountpoint> <size> <fs type> <mount options> <misc options> disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos primary / 250 ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro logical swap swap rw logical /var ext3 rw createopts="-m 5" \ tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0" logical /tmp 100-1G ext3 rw createopts="-m 0" \ tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0" logical /usr 1G-8G ext3 rw logical /home % ext3 rw,nosuid createopts="-m 1" \ tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
132 Adjust configspace: debconf
133 Presets for package install scripts
134 Only for dpkg-based distributions
135 Works analog to Debian Installer
136 Adjust configspace: package_config
137 Contents: files named by class names
138 Purpose: Define packages to be installed
139 Supports many installation methods:
140 install (apt-get) aptitude taskinst (Debian tasks=package collections) urpmi (mandriva) yumi (Fedora) y2i (SuSE y2pmsh) yast (SuSE yast -i)
141 Example package_config/demo from simple examples: PACKAGES aptitude fortune-mod fortunes rstat-client #rstatd rusers rusersd # only when also class XORG is defined PACKAGES aptitude XORG bb frozen-bubble xpenguins
142 Adjust Configspace: scripts #!/bin/bash #!/bin/perl #!/usr/bin/cfagent
143 scripts to be executed after package installation
144 Usually shell-, Perl- and cfengine-scripts
145 Need for others? just install Interpreter in the NFS-Root
146 Naming scheme: <CLASSNAME>/<NUMBER>-<SCRIPTNAME>
147 Number defines order of execution
148 SCRIPTNAME arbitrary just for readability
149 scripts example:. -- AMD64 `-- 99-discover-bug -- DEMO misc `-- 30-demo -- FAIBASE misc interface `-- 40-misc -- FAISERVER conffiles `-- 20-copy-mirror -- GRUB `-- 10-setup `-- LAST `-- 50-misc
150 Adjust configspace: files
151 Structure of a filesystem, starting with /
152 classbased copy/unpack
153 For usage with fcopy/ftar
154 Copy single files explicitly, or recursive from /
155 ftar unpacks an archive
156 Target file=directory
157 actually copied source file=classname
158 sample: -- etc -- X11 -- xorg.conf -- ATI -- NVIDIA -- apache2 -- conf.d -- debian-mirror.conf --FAISERVER -- fai -- fai.conf -- FAISERVER -- FAI_SOFTUPDATE_CLIENT
159 Adjust configspace: hooks
160 Naming scheme: <TASKNAME>.<CLASSNAME>[.source]
161 Execution before the according task
162 Examples: partition.xenu instsoft.faibase savelog.last.source
163 Do the installation
164 Depending on chosen install type
165 Boot via PXE Bootfloppy install-cd USB Stick
166 fai dirinstall <TARGETDIR> into mounted blockdevice
167 Call dirinstall from xen-tools, Ganeti,...
168 Run grml-live
169 Depending on number of packages it takes 3-30 minutes
170 (automatic)restart with production configuration
171 Functionality tests
172 Advanced stuff Outlook
173 Support stuff for more distributions: fai-distributions
174 GOSA as LDAP and FAI GUI
175 Automatic Tests of the installed systems
176 hooks/scripts could check files and configurations Crucible Test Framework
177 No LDAP? Management-Tool/lightweight GUI without GOSA
178 better configspace layout
179 Comparison with Puppet
180 LIMITED VALIDITY
181 I Only scratched Puppet's surface yet!
182 But I try to be unbiased
183 I actually like puppet quite well
184 The Points
185 Puppet has data encryption functionality! can distribute secrets!
186 FAI has a simpler file copying structure Could be emulated with some code in puppet.
187 Puppet: only "configuration" FAI: also partition and base install
188 FAI has multiple specific logs Puppet logs into syslog
189 FAI: config files + scripts Puppet: everything is a script (most config-filish - found some strange syntax skimming through)
190 Puppet: advanced client/server config push FAI: (scripted) ssh into amanged host, additional tool
191 FAI is a bit more mature - no youth problems
192 Puppet has some more advanced distribution abstractions
193 FAI is still lacking a nice Logo and website :)
194 BOTH: cool tools that you should use!
195 Can work together well and easy
196 Conclusions
197 FAI is a powerful tool for
198 Automatic installation
199 System-Change-Management
200 Structured approach required
201 Expect some learning curve on the way
202 The Big Reward: less worries about...
203 getting a config cloned setting up new machines restoring after a crash changing configs on multiple systems
