supports directly editing or defining node configuration YAML in an editor. #540wwctl node export
andwwctl node import
support importing and exporting node definitions as YAML or (for import) CSV. The CSV file must have a header in where the first field must always be the nodename, and the rest of the fields are the same as the long commandline options. Network device must have the formnet.$NETNAME.$NETOPTION
. (e.g.,net.default.ipaddr
) #540- The
warewulfd.service
systemd unit file now supportsexecreload
andexecstop
. #550 - Network interfaces now accept an
mtu
attribute. #549 - The
wwinit
overlay now supports network interface configuration via NetworkManager for Ethernet and InfiniBand interfaces. #539 - Default node attribute values (e.g., for kernel arguments) are now
read in from a
defaults.conf
configuration file. If this file is not present, built-in default values are used. #539 - Warewulf documentation is now managed alongside the Warewulf source code in a single code repository so that documentation may be updated alongside code changes.
- New man pages for
warewulf.conf
andnodes.conf
#510 - An initial cut of the Warewulf API #471
wwctl show --render
shows overlay templates as they would be rendered on a given target node. #467wwctl ssh
now supports Bash completion. #466
wwctl overlay edit
no longer saves a new template to the overlay if the template is not modified from its initial state. #522- The wwinit overlay now only sets a name for a network interface if that interface has a MAC address defined. #553
wwctl container delete
now also deletes the built images associated with that container. #214- Unified internal code paths for
wwctl profile
andwwctl node
commands, and between the on disk YAML format and the in memory format, enabling the command-line options to be autogenerated from the datastructures and ensuring that profile and node capabilities remain in sync. Multiple command line arguments have been updated or changed. #495, #637 wwctl power
commands no longer separates node output with additional whitespace. #514
/etc/warewulf/excludes
(read from the node image) once again excludes files from being included in the node image. #532wwctl ssh
always uses a node's primary interface. #544wwctl container show
now correctly shows the kernel version. #542- System users are no longer prevented from logging into compute nodes. #538
wwctl overlay chown
now correctly handles uid and gid arguments. #530wwctl overlay chown
no longer sets gid to0
when unspecified. #531- Corrected the path for
.wwbackup
files in some situations. #524 - Bypass
imgextract
for legacy BIOS machines to avoid 32-bit memory limitations. #497 warewulfd
no longer panics when network interface tags are defined. #468- The wwinit overlay now configures the network device type. #465
- Minor typographical fixes. #528, #519
- All configurations files for the host (/etc/exports, /etc/dhcpd.conf, /etc/hosts) are now populated from the (OVERLAYDIR/host/etc/{exports|dhcpd|hosts}.ww . Also other configuration files like prometheus.yml.ww or slurm.conf.ww which depend on the cluster nodes can be placed. Also the new templated functions {{ abort }}, {{ IncludeBlock }} abd {{ no_backup }} are allowed now.
- nodes and profiles can now have multiple system and runtime overlays, as a comma separated list. The overlays of the profile and the nodes are combined.
- simple ipv6 support is now enabled. In
warewulf.conf
the optionipaddr6
/Ipv6net
must be set to enable ipv6. If enabled on of these options is set a node will get a derived ipv6 in the schemeipv6net:ipaddr4
. This address can also be overwritten for every node - Multiple files can now created from a single
template.ww
file with the{{ file FILENAME }}
command in the template. The command is expanded to the magic template command{{ /* file FILENAME */}}
which is picked up by wwctl and everything which comes after this magic comment will be written to the fileFILENAME
. This mechanism is leveraged in the configuration files for the network, seeifcfg.xml.ww
andifcgf.ww
. - Networks can now have arbitrary keys value pairs in the profiles and on the node, so that things like bridges and mtu sizes can be set
- oci container tar balls can be imported with the 'file://$PATH' scheme
- uids and gids of a container can now get synced at import time, so that at least users with the same name have the same uid. This is not necessarily needed for warewulf, but services like munge.
- Provision interface is not tied to 'eth0' any more. The provision interface must be have the 'primary' flag now. The file `nodes.conf' must be changed accordingly.
- the provisioning network is now called primary and not default
- Creating of '/etc/exports' can now be disabled, so that
wwctl configure -a
wont overwrite a existing '/etc/exports'. - The yaml format for nodes has now sub-keys for ipmi and kernel, old nodes.conf files have to to be changed accordingly
- host overlays can globaly disbaled, but are enabled per default
wwctl overlay build -H
will only build the overlays which are assigned to the nodes
- Support for ARM nodes
- firewalld service file for warewulfd
-y
option to skip "Are you sure" querieswwctl kernel delete
commandwwctl vnfs
alias forwwctl container

- warewulfd can reload config on SIGHUP and when the config file changes
- Node database index to improve lookup speeds
- Kernels and containers can be imported from a chroot subdirectory
- Systemd service file
wwctl node list
output beautification- Log timestamps are more precise
- PID file and log files are now in
/var/run
and/var/log
, respectively make install
no longer overwrites preexisting configuration files- Kernel modules and overlays are now compressed
rootfstype
now usesrootfs
in default kernel arguments- iPXE binaries updated
- Installed container directory is deleted when import fails
- Default iPXE script now reboots erroring nodes every 15 seconds
- Only open
/etc/hosts
when writing
wwctl configure
--persist
flags have been removed.configure
commands persist changes by default unless--show
is used- In-repository documentation: has been moved to it's own repository
- Importing containers from directory
- Debug log verbosity option takes precedence over verbose option
wwctl node list -n
output is formatted corectly- Container names can contain an underscore
wwctl overlay build --all
does not require an argument- specfile date format works with older versions of rpmbuild
- Use SystemOverlay when building system overlay
- dhcpd template now references correct wwctl subcommand
wwctl node set kernelargs
andwwctl profile set kernelargs
change kernel arguments
