lan-bootstrap

A set of scripts to setup all the necessary infrastructure for a lan party

Host configuration

Installing a proxmox master or follower sometimes requires configuration for your local environment (which network interface to use, etc.). These parameters can be configured in advance. This step is optional: useful defaults are given for every parameter.

Copy includes/config.example to includes/config and adapt as needed. Note: you might need to change the configuration before setting up the master or joining a follower to the cluster.

Usage

./lan init cluster_name domain container_root_pw

Initializes the master with a given cluster name, domain name and the root passwords for the puppet and dns containers

./lan join master_hostname

Joins a proxmox node to the cluster

./lan add hostname password

Creates a new container with a given hostname and password. If the hostname matches any of the supported roles (can have a trailing digit) the correct puppet manifest will be applied.

./lan sign fqdn

Signs the puppet key of the given fully qualified domain name. Should run automatically when using the add command.

./lan destroy vmid

Destroys a container living on this proxmox node

./lan clean vmid fqdn

Tries to clean up as much as possible for the given container (puppet keys, domain names) Should run automatically when using the destroy command.

./lan trigger vmid hostname

Runs the triggers again for the given container, should run automatically when using the add command.

./lan pull

Updates the git repositories on this node, the master and in the puppet container. It's useful to use this before adding containers.

Setup

In order to use this script you need one or more proxmox nodes. You can find instructions on how to install proxmox on: http://www.proxmox.com

Examples

Initializing a basic lan server:

#> apt-get install git
#> mkdir -r /opt/max/
#> cd /opt/max
#> git clone https://github.com/thexa4/lan-bootstrap
#> cd lan-bootstrap
#> ./lan init lanparty party.example.com swordfish
#> ./lan add dhcp swordfish

Adding the steam cache:

#> ./lan add cache1 swordfish

Removing the dhcp server:

#> ./lan destroy 100

Modules

Currently the following modules have been implemented:

• Dhcp
• Mumble
• Dns (ns)
• Samba
• Trackmania
• Steam cache (cache)
• Openttd
