Prepare a minimum base server box.
Included recipes:
- software updates
- firewall with ban failure (Fail2Ban)
- SSH server configuration
- admin user creation (add your own public key for non-vagrant access)
- iSCSI target service
- VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
- Vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/)
- Chef Development Kit (chefdk): https://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk/
- the Chef Development Kit includes a number of useful dependancies (but see below)
- DO NOT install rbenv, it will directly conflict with chefdk
- personally, on Linux I've highly restricted the chefdk path, since I want to be able to do non-chef ruby development, although this is subtly imperfect, and possibly breaking:
export PATH="$/opt/chefdk/bin:$PATH"
export PATH=$PATH:~/packer/
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
bundle install
kitchen converge- centos-7.3
- ubuntu-16.04
iSCSI should be used in a local area network (LAN) and is designed with this assumption. Due to how target discovery works with iSCSI, the target host will report the IP address of the LUN device. Since this is the target's internal IP address, not its external IP, NAT traversal is problematic:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.117
10.0.2.15:3260,1 iqn.2001-04.local.lan:storage01If you try to login to this target, it will attempt to connect to 10.0.2.15 rather than 192.168.1.117 and fail. Although iSCSI over a non-local network is not recommended, there is an easy workaround for NAT traversal involving SSH port forwarding (demonstated here with two vagrant boxes):
ssh -L 3260:localhost:3260 [email protected] -p 2222 -N &
iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p localhost:3260
[::1]:3260,1 iqn.2001-04.local.lan:storage01
iscsiadm -m node --login -p localhost:3260
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2001-04.local.lan:storage01, portal: ::1,3260] (multiple)
Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2001-04.local.lan:storage01, portal: ::1,3260] successful.Note that I've glossed over a few details, so your experience may vary.
When re-packing, allow the vagrant user SSH access via override in a wrapper recipe:
node.override['base-box']['permit_password_auth'] = true
node.override['authorization']['sudo']['users'] = [node['base-box']['admin_user']].push('vagrant')
Or with JSON alterations:
"json": {
"authorization": {
"sudo": {
"users": ["sysop", "vagrant"]
}
},
"base-box": {
"permit_password_auth": true
}
}
