Goal

The goal is to deploy kubernetes on my local networks, and keep everything as reproducible as possible.

Stack

I'll use Fedora Core OS, Matchbox and Terraform ¹, a match the requirements for Tectonic².

Steps

• Network Setup DHCP/TFTP/DNS³
• Matchbox⁴
• PXE nextwork boot evnrionment
• Terraform Tectonic⁵

Network Setup DHCP/TFTP/DNS

First learning the basics

• https://linuxhint.com/install_dhcp_server_ubuntu/
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ3T14SIlV4

To check open ports

lsof -Pni | grep LISTEN

Run the provided⁶ image with dnsmasq and PXE toolkit

docker run --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=host quay.io/coreos/dnsmasq \
  -d -q \
  --dhcp-range=192.168.1.3,192.168.1.254 \
  --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot \
  --dhcp-match=set:bios,option:client-arch,0 \
  --dhcp-boot=tag:bios,undionly.kpxe \
  --dhcp-match=set:efi32,option:client-arch,6 \
  --dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,ipxe.efi \
  --dhcp-match=set:efibc,option:client-arch,7 \
  --dhcp-boot=tag:efibc,ipxe.efi \
  --dhcp-match=set:efi64,option:client-arch,9 \
  --dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,ipxe.efi \
  --dhcp-userclass=set:ipxe,iPXE \
  --dhcp-boot=tag:ipxe,http://matchbox.example.com:8080/boot.ipxe \
  --address=/matchbox.example/192.168.1.2 \
  --log-queries \
  --log-dhcp
