forge
On-premises Universal Blue
This repo is intended to provide the service units necessary to set up a self-hosted OS forge for custom images.
Vision
Imagine something like a home lab or a university lab:
- Deploy forge
- Go into the WebUI, clone in your favorite uBlue repo and make changes
- Forge automatically starts to build the images
- PXE boot the clients, select ublue in the menu
- Eat tacos
- Return to a fully deployed lab with centralized package management
What we have so far
We are still working on making the vision a reality. The following has been implemented so far:
Certificate Authority
We use a Minica as simple CA to generate a
key pair and a root certificate for *.ublue.local. The wildcard certificate is
then made available to all other components and are valid for 2 years and 30 days.
Reverse Proxy
As an entry point for all components we use Caddy as a reverse proxy. Based on URL routing it will redirect the traffic to the right container instance.
Container Registry
As container registry we make use of the Docker Registry 2.0 implementation for storing and distributing container images
The container registry is available at registry.ublue.local
Firing Up the Forge
To heat up the forge run podman play kube forge-pod.yml --build.
