# Provisioning VMs via Proxmox
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Quick links
|

Fediversity Proxmox
|
||||||
|
: <http://192.168.51.81:8006/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Basic terminology
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Node
|
||||||
|
: physical host
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Fediversity Proxmox
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- It is only accessible via Procolix\'s VPN:
|
||||||
|
- Get credentials for the VPN portal and Proxmox from
|
||||||
|
[Kevin](https://git.fediversity.eu/kevin).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Log in to the [VPN
|
||||||
|
portal](https://vpn.fediversity.eu/vpn-user-portal/home).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Create a **New Configuration**:
|
||||||
|
- Select **WireGuard (UDP)**
|
||||||
|
- Enter some name, e.g. `fediversity`
|
||||||
|
- Click Download
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Write the WireGuard configuration to a file
|
||||||
|
`fediversity-vpn.config` next to your NixOS configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add that file's path to `.git/info/exclude` and make sure
|
||||||
|
it doesn't otherwise leak (for example, use
|
||||||
|
[Agenix](https://github.com/ryantm/agenix) to manage
|
||||||
|
secrets)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- To your NixOS configuration, add
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` nix
|
||||||
|
networking.wg-quick.interfaces.fediversity.configFile = toString ./fediversity-vpn.config;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- Select "Promox VE authentication server".
|
||||||
|
- Ignore the "You do not have a valid subscription" message.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Automatically
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory contains scripts that can automatically provision or
|
||||||
|
remove a Proxmox VM. For now, they are tied to one node in the
|
||||||
|
Fediversity Proxmox, but it would not be difficult to make them more
|
||||||
|
generic. Try:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
bash proxmox/provision.sh --help
|
||||||
|
bash proxmox/remove.sh --help
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Preparing the machine configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- It is nicer if the machine is a QEMU guest. On NixOS:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` nix
|
||||||
|
services.qemuGuest.enable = true
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Choose name for your machine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Choose static IPs for your machine. The IPv4 and IPv6 subnets
|
||||||
|
available for Fediversity testing are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `95.215.187.0/24`. Gateway is `95.215.187.1`.
|
||||||
|
- `2a00:51c0:13:1305::/64`. Gateway is `2a00:51c0:13:1305::1`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I have been using id `XXX` (starting from `001`), name `fediXXX`,
|
||||||
|
`95.215.187.XXX` and `2a00:51c0:13:1305::XXX`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Name servers should be `95.215.185.6` and `95.215.185.7`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Check [Netbox](https://netbox.protagio.org) to see which addresses
|
||||||
|
are free.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Manually via the GUI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Upload your ISO
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Go to Fediversity proxmox.
|
||||||
|
- In the left view, expand under the node that you want and click on
|
||||||
|
"local".
|
||||||
|
- Select "ISO Images", then click "Upload".
|
||||||
|
- Note: You can also download from URL.
|
||||||
|
- Note: You should click on "local" and not "local-zfs".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Creating the VM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Click "Create VM" at the top right corner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### General
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Node
|
||||||
|
: which node will host the VM; has to be the same
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
VM ID
|
||||||
|
: Has to be unique, probably best to use the `xxxx` in `vm0xxxx`
|
||||||
|
(yet to be decided)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Name
|
||||||
|
: Usually `vm` + 5 digits, e.g. `vm02199`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Resource pool
|
||||||
|
: Fediversity
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### OS

Use CD/DVD disc image file (iso)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Storage
|
||||||
|
: local, means storage of the node.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ISO image
|
||||||
|
: select the image previously uploaded
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No need to touch anything else
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### System
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BIOS
|
||||||
|
: OVMF (UEFI)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EFI Storage
|
||||||
|
: `linstor_storage`; this is a storage shared by all of the Proxmox
|
||||||
|
machines.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pre-Enroll keys
|
||||||
|
: MUST be unchecked
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Qemu Agent

||||||
|
: check
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Disks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Tick "advanced" at the bottom.
|
||||||
|
- Disk size (GiB) :: 40 (depending on requirements)
|
||||||
|
- SSD emulation :: check (only visible if "Advanced" is checked)
|
||||||
|
- Discard :: check, so that blocks of removed data are cleared
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### CPU
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sockets
|
||||||
|
: 1 (depending on requirements)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cores
|
||||||
|
: 2 (depending on requirements)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Enable NUMA
|
||||||
|
: check
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Memory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Memory (MiB)
|
||||||
|
: choose what you want
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ballooning Device
|
||||||
|
: leave checked (only visible if "Advanced" is checked)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Network
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bridge
|
||||||
|
: `vnet1306`. This is the provisioning bridge;
|
||||||
|
we will change it later.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Firewall
|
||||||
|
: uncheck, we will handle the firewall on the VM itself
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Confirm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install and start the VM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Start the VM a first time.
|
||||||
|
- Select the VM in the left panel. You might have to expand the
|
||||||
|
node on which it is hosted.
|
||||||
|
- Select "Console" and start the VM.
|
||||||
|
- Install the VM as you would any other machine.
|
||||||
|
- [*Shutdown the VM*]{.spurious-link target="Shutdown the VM"}.
|
||||||
|
- After the VM has been installed:
|
||||||
|
- Select the VM again, then go to "Hardware".
|
||||||
|
- Double click on the CD/DVD Drive line. Select "Do not use any
|
||||||
|
media" and press OK.
|
||||||
|
- Double click on Network Device, and change the bridge to
|
||||||
|
`vnet1305`, the public bridge.
|
||||||
|
- Start the VM again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Remove the VM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [*Shutdown the VM*]{.spurious-link target="Shutdown the VM"}.
|
||||||
|
- On the top right corner, click "More", then "Remove".
|
||||||
|
- Enter the ID of the machine.
|
||||||
|
- Check "Purge from job configurations"
|
||||||
|
- Check "Destroy unreferenced disks owned by guest"
|
||||||
|
- Click "Remove".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Move the VM to another node
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Make sure there is no ISO plugged in.
|
||||||
|
- Click on the VM. Click migrate. Choose target node. Go.
|
||||||
|
- Since the storage is shared, it should go pretty fast (~1 minute).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Shutdown the VM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Find the VM in the left panel.
|
||||||
|
- At the top right corner appears a "Shutdown" button with a submenu.
|
||||||
|
- Clicking "Shutdown" sends a signal to shutdown the machine. This
|
||||||
|
might not work if the machine is not listening for that signal.
|
||||||
|
- Brutal solution: in the submenu, select "Stop".
|
||||||
|
- The checkbox "Overrule active shutdown tasks" means that the machine
|
||||||
|
should be stopped even if a shutdown is currently ongoing. This is
|
||||||
|
particularly important if you have tried to shut the machine down
|
||||||
|
normally just before.

# Infra
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory contains the definition of the VMs that host our infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## NixOps4
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Their configuration can be updated via NixOps4. Run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
nixops4 deployments list
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to see the available deployments.
|
||||||
|
This should be done from the root of the repository,
|
||||||
|
otherwise NixOps4 will fail with something like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
nixops4 error: evaluation: error:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, given a deployment (eg. `git`), run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||

nixops4 apply <deployment>
|

Alternatively, to run the `default` deployment, run
|

|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
nixops4 apply
|
||||||

nixops4 deployments list

|
|

|
|

to see the available deployments. This should be done from the root of the
|
|
||||||
repository, otherwise NixOps4 will fail with something like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#+begin_src
|
|
||||||
nixops4 error: evaluation: error:
|
|
||||||

error: path '/nix/store/05nn7krhvi8wkcyl6bsysznlv60g5rrf-source/flake.nix' does not exist, evaluation: error:

|

#+end_src
|
|

|
|
||||||
Then, given a deployment (eg. ~git~), run
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#+begin_src sh
|
|
||||||
nixops4 apply <deployment>
|
|
||||||
#+end_src
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternatively, to run the ~default~ deployment, run
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#+begin_src sh
|
|
||||||
nixops4 apply
|
|
||||||
#+end_src

* Deployments
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- default :: Contains everything
|
|
||||||
- ~git~ :: Machines hosting our Git infrastructure, eg. Forgejo and its actions
|
|
||||||
runners
|
|
||||||
- ~web~ :: Machines hosting our online content, eg. the website or the wiki
|
|
||||||

* Machines
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These machines are hosted on the Procolix Proxmox instance, to which
|
|
||||||
non-Procolix members of the project do not have access. They host our stable
|
|
||||||
infrastructure.
