Configuration

Open the tools container, which includes all the tools needed:

make tools

nix-shell

Note

It will take a while to build the tools container on the first time

Run the following script to configure the homelab:

make configure

Example

Text editor (nvim):
Enter seed repo (github.com/brimdor/homelab): github.com/example/homelab
Enter your domain (eaglepass.io): example.com

It will prompt you to edit the inventory:

  • IP address: the desired one, not the current one, since your servers have no operating system installed yet
  • Disk: based on /dev/$DISK, in my case it's sda, but yours can be sdb, nvme0n1...
  • Network interface: usually it's eth0, mine is eno1
  • MAC address: the lowercase, colon separated MAC address of the above network interface

Example

metal/inventories/prod.yml
metal:
  children:
    masters:
      hosts:
        charmander:
          {
            ansible_host: 10.0.50.121,
            mac: "00:23:24:b0:ff:03",
            disk: sda,
            network_interface: eno1,
          }
        squirtle:
          {
            ansible_host: 10.0.50.122,
            mac: "00:23:24:e2:1f:a1",
            disk: sda,
            network_interface: eno1,
          }
        bulbasaur:
          {
            ansible_host: 10.0.50.123,
            mac: "00:23:24:e2:0d:ea",
            disk: sda,
            network_interface: eno1,
          }
    workers:
      hosts:
        pikachu:
          {
            ansible_host: 10.0.50.124,
            mac: "e0:4f:43:24:0b:53",
            disk: sda,
            network_interface: eno1,
          }
