This is a first attempt to add a new function for URL parsing, using
go's net/url package and the simple API. This is still a barebones
implementation, there's possibility to expose more information. It also
includes simple tests.
We forgot to reject this corner case which could lead to a runtime error
since the expected type from the incoming struct would not match what
we're handling.
Instead of constantly making these updates, let's just remove the year
since things are stored in git anyways, and this is not an actual modern
legal risk anymore.
This lets you boot from ipxe. You can run the ipxe shell from their
stock image or the netboot.xyz one. For the latter, press "m", then type
"dhcp" (machine is now pingable!) then type "route" to check the ip.
To boot type:
chain http://192.168.42.1:4280/menu.ipxe
and you're off!
Thanks to frebib for finding the workaround to the VFS bug. The answer
is you need to run the imgfree command to unblock the initrd.
Unfortunately with Fedora 41 and DNF5, this breaks what our host machine
expects. So you now need dnf5+ to make this work, or you can revert this
commit.
This is needed for bigger code bases. Remember: this is consulted at the
deploy stage, and the deploy contains the entire tree (including
modules) of everything it needs to run. This is why you don't need to
add a --module-path arg when running mgmt in systemd with the "empty"
frontend.
This adds a new util package with some useful functionality which could
be implemented as pure mcl, but instead we add it here as a good place
to help with code reuse.
With the release of Fedora 41, I was getting lots of mirror errors.
Hopefully this helps make it more robust. It was failing repeatedly
while trying to download packages, and I kept having to restart things,
but once I added this option things worked. Hopefully they're related.
Here's a good first way to implement handoff. What's particularly
elegant about handoff here, is that this is the first form of it I know,
where handoff happens between a provisioning tool and a configuration
management tool and those are the same tool! As a result, this can allow
for some really elegant integration, and the end-user never has to deal
with the combinatorial explosion of the N * M scenario of gluing each
provisioning tool to each different configuration management tool.
We'll have other forms of handoff in the future, but this simple
approach is useful already.
This makes the current deploy available. This is likely not useful when
this is used from the embedded provisioner cli tool, since it would
contain cli functions that won't run, but it is useful when it's used as
a library.
This gives us a function to return a created vardir folder. It is not
locally namespaced, and a future function will have to namespace one to
each scope.
