Monkeying around with virtual machines and pxe configs.
Create marmoset.conf
before using marmoset! See Configuration
for details.
Copy the marmoset.conf.example
to marmoset.conf
and adjust the settings to your needs.
Checkout the Comments in the file our our Configuration section.
Please checkout our requirements.txt for a complete and authoritative list!
- aniso8601
- Flask
- Flask-RESTful
- itsdangerous
- Jinja2
- ldap3
- libvirt-python
- MarkupSafe
- pyasn1
- python-dateutil
- pytz
- six
- Werkzeug
- wheel
In addition to these python packages, you also need Python 3. This project originally started with Python 3.3, we are currently developing and testing on 3.5 but we plan to support Python 3.3 and 3.4 as well.
The configuration file has to be placed in the app's root directory
as marmoset.conf
. It is necessary to define a PXELabel
section.
The first entry in this section will be the default label.
All other sections are optional and have defaults set.
An example file can be found as marmoset.conf.example
.
If you want to customize the XML templates for libvirt objects, copy
the template dir marmoset/virt/templates/
and specify the new path
in the Libvirt
section.
Marmoset can be used via CLI directly or as a HTTP server.
To see all available subcommands and their aliases, just run the script with the command:
$ ./marmoset.py -h
Each subcommand provides its own help text:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe -h
List all entries:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe list
Create an PXE entry with the default label:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe create 3.4.5.6
Create an PXE entry for a non-default label:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe create -l freebsd 3.4.5.6
If the used label has a callback method set that sets a custom root password for the PXE boot target, you can provide a pasword:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe c -l freebsd -p SoSecretPW 3.4.5.6
Remove the entry for an IP address:
$ ./marmoset.py pxe remove 3.4.5.6
List all defined libvirt domains and their attributes:
$ ./marmoset.py vm list
Start it like this:
$ ./marmoset.py server
Or with gunicorn:
$ gunicorn marmoset.app:app
curl -u admin:secret http://localhost:5000/v1/pxe
200 on success (empty array if no records are present)
[
{
"ip_address": "1.2.3.4",
"label": "rescue"
}
]
Create a new PXE config entry. Label defaults to "rescue". If no password is given and a callback method is set, a random password is generated and returned. Takes JSON Input as well:
curl -u admin:secret --data 'ip_address=10.10.1.1&label=rescue&password=SeCrEt' http://localhost:5000/v1/pxe
201 on success
{
"ip_address": "10.10.1.1",
"label": "rescue",
"password": "SeCrEt"
}
409 if there is already an entry
Check if there is an entry currently set:
curl -u admin:secret http://localhost:5000/v1/pxe/10.10.1.1
200 if found
{
"ip_address": "10.10.1.1",
"label": "rescue"
}
404 if not found
curl -u admin:secret -X DELETE http://localhost:5000/v1/pxe/10.10.1.1
204 on success
Create a new VM:
curl -u admin:secret -d 'name=testvm&user=testuser&ip_address=10.10.1.1&memory=1G&disk=10G' http://localhost:5000/v1/vm
201 on success
