# 00-Provisioning

Adding new nodes

1. Call lighter and pass the new node's name to generate ignition files for the node, see below snippet.
2. Commit and check the resulting ignition/*.json files into version control at deadbeef.codes, they need to be present before booting the node.

```bash
# Be sure to run from 00-provisioning directory
cd 00-provisioning

# Templating for Butane files to replace hostname with name passed 
# to lighter, then it calls butane to generate ignition files
lighter() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "error: lighter() called without specifying a VM name"
        echo "Usage: lighter() <name>"
        return
    fi

    # Create temporary working copies
    cp butane/boot.yaml butane/boot~.yaml
    cp butane/full.yaml butane/full~.yaml

    # Replace hostname token with name provided
    hostnameToken="{{HOSTNAME}}"
    sed -i -e "s/$hostnameToken/$1/g" butane/boot~.yaml
    sed -i -e "s/$hostnameToken/$1/g" butane/full~.yaml

    # Butane transpile to ignition files
    butane butane/boot~.yaml > ignition/$1-boot.json
    butane butane/full~.yaml > ignition/$1-full.json

    # Cleanup mess
    rm -f butane/*~.yaml
}

After you've checked the ignition files into version control, provision the server, either on baremetal or VM - example with virtualbox.  Use a method to point it to the boot ignition file, in virtual box guest properties can be used.

```bash

# Stop git bash being stupid
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
# Function to create VirtualBox VM, accepts name of VM as argument
create_vm() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "error: create_vm() called without specifying a VM name"
        echo "Usage: create_vm <name>"
        return
    fi
    "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/vboxmanage.exe" import --vsys 0 --vmname "$1" "D:/VirtualBox/OVA/fedora-coreos-39.20231119.3.0-virtualbox.x86_64.ova"
    "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/vboxmanage.exe" modifyvm $1 --nic1 bridged
    "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/vboxmanage.exe" modifyvm $1 --bridge-adapter1 "Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225-V"
    "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/vboxmanage.exe" guestproperty set $1 "/Ignition/Config" "$(cat ignition/$1-boot.json)"
    "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/vboxmanage.exe" startvm $1 --type headless
}
