User1: I'm setting up a 4 node maas cluster in a home network with manual dhcp configuration. My router has the dhcp server, and it runs dhcp. Anyone know a tutorial for this setup? Mainly, I need help with the manual dhcp configuration.
User2: install dnsmasq or proxydhcp on a machine and have it serve up the PXE boot file and images.
User1: User2 Are you suggesting this in place of maas or in addition to maas?
User2: in addition to it
User2: that's pretty much what i have set up at the moment
User2: at a later time ill be flashing my linksys router with dd-wrt which gives you the ability to specify the pxe settings on its internal dhcp server
User1: User2 My router is running openwrt. So, I should be able to specify the pxe settings on the internal dhcp server.
User1: Is there a reason that you aren't using the master maas node to serve the pxeboot images?
User2: can't you just ssh into the router and setup the pxe boot config?
User2: https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/configure.html#manual-dhcp
User1: Those instructions are for ISC DHCP. I'm not familiar with all the settings. Where do I start learning about those settings/options?
User1: But yes, I can ssh into the router.
User1: Also, the /etc/config/dhcp file has a section for dnsmasq.
User1: That's on the router.
User1: Here's the /etc/config/dhcp file. https://dpaste.de/Zyea
User1: I screwed up the cut and paste. This version is better. https://dpaste.de/Un8R
User2: on dd-wrt I can set a "next-server" option (for dnsmasq) which I pointed to the maas server IP and it booted from the tftp directory on the maas server
User1: Did you have to setup the tftp server on the maas server?
User2: it should be there by default when you import the images on the maas gui.
User1: Are you using Ubuntu's maas server or a different setup.
User1: ?
User3: maas does that for you if you set it to managed mode
User2: ubutnu's maas
User1: Thanks
User1: Let me try that.
