I'm in the middle of converting my static, nfs served kickstart files to
some dynamically generated, http served configurations.
I am going to be dynamically generating the kickstart files from a
database (initially gadfly), but until that is ready I want to serve my
working static files. I'm using mod_python rather than CGI because I
prefer to program in python. I've attached a tarball with most of what
I currently have.
Here are some instructions:
1) Unpack it in a directory accessible from the web
2) Make sure mod_python is running on your system
3) Place your existing ks files in the top directoy (kickstart) and
make sure they are named <ip>-kickstart. Symlinks work fine.
4) Use ks=<server>/<some-path>/kickstart/<anything>.ks to get a per-ip
kickstart file (if one already exists).
5) If a per-ip kickstart file does not exist, the bottom of
kickstart/ksserver/handler.py can be used to either serve or build
the proper configuration.
Caveats:
1) I have edited some files for security and so not all of them are
valid python.
2) It is not anywhere near done.
If you have question, let me know. I use Red Hat and can help setting
up a similar system. I'm leaving early for the weekend (early for US
timezones), but I'll be back on Monday.
