The overall idea is that we will have a dedicated ISO for the unattended installation. It should be configured in such a way that it will start the installation without any user interaction. Though the integration in the installation environmend isn't part of this patch series. The information for the installer that is usually gathered interactively from the user is provided via an `answer.toml` file. The answer file allows to select disks and the network card via filters. The installer also allows to run custom commands pre and post installation. This should give users plenty of possibilities to either further customize/prepare the installation or integrate it into a larger automated installation setup. For example, one could issue HTTP requests to signal the status and progress of the installation. When the installer is called with 'proxauto' in the kernel cmdline, the 'proxmox-fetch-answer' binary is called. It tries to find the answer file and once found, will start the 'proxmox-auto-installer' binary and pass the contents to it via stdin. The auto-installer then parses the answer file and determines what parameters need to be passed to the low-level installer. For example, which disks and NIC to use, network IP settings and so forth. The current status reporting of the actual installation is kept rather simple. Both binaries log into the tmp directory. There is a third binary, the 'proxmox-autoinst-helper'. It provides a few subcommands, from the help: answer Validate if an answer file is formatted correctly device-match Test which devices the given filter matches against device-info Show device information that can be used for filters identifiers Show identifiers for the current machine. This information is part of the POST request to fetch an answer file The fetch-answer binary is trying to get an answer file. It does so by first searching for a partition/FS labeled `proxmoxinst`, or all upper case, and an `answer.toml` in there. This could be provided by another USB flash drive. If that is not successful, the next step is to send an HTTP POST request to a URL to get the TOML contents in return. A POST request was chosen because we also send information to identify the host in JSON format. The question then is, where to get that URL from. Right now, there are two options implemented. The first is looking for a custom DHCP option and the second is querying for a TXT record in the `proxmoxinst` subdomain of the search domain. It is possible to provide a SHA256 fingerprint of the SSL cert used by the answer server. The safest option is to place a `cert_fingerprint.txt` file in the same `proxmoxinst` partition as where you alternatively would place the `answer.toml`. If that is not found, then it can be provided by a second custom DHCP option or placed as TXT record in the subdomain `proxmoxinst-fp`. This patch series now also separates the 3 binaries into their own crate. The 'proxmox-fetch-answer' to keep the OpenSSL dependency as localized as possible, and the 'proxmox-autoinst-helper' to make it easy to compile just that binary. The new `proxmox-chroot` utility helps to prepare everything to chroot into a fresh installation and clean it up once done. This will be useful in the post commands when further customizing the installation. Other plans / ideas for the future: * add option to define remote SSH access (password and,or public key). This could make remote debugging in case of problems easier Regarding the patch series itself: 01-03 are needed to move some code into the common crate and make structs/functions already in the common crate accessible. I did split up the individual parts of the auto installer into their own patches as much as possible, and (hopefully) in the order they depend on each other. Patches after the `unconfigured` one (16), switch the pattern matching to the glob crate, add the helper tool and the fetching via HTTP. Patch 25 factors our the binaries into their own crates. Patches 26-30 are for the 'proxmox-chroot' utility and preparations for it to work. Areas that can be improved/extended: * Testing possibility integrated in the Makefile I did test it with all 3 installers, PVE, PMG and PBS and it worked. WIP: writing documentation for it. Currently intended for the Wiki as it can be used for all 3 products. Changes since v2: * don't use 'dmidecode' but check in the source locations directly for identifiers * fixed makefile to get builds working every time * reworked filesystem and raid level layout in the answer file definition * factor out binaries into their own crates * add 'proxmox-chroot' helper tool Changes since v1: * incorporated feedback (thx @cheiss) * the proxmox-installer-filter tool got renamed and extended to the proxmox-autoinst-helper * added HTTP fetch functionality * moved the fetch_plugins/utils.rs into its own subdirectory as it grew quite a bit * added builddeps [0]
