This project is in maintenance status.
Waitron reads the machine definition from YAML and templates preseed and finish scripts based on that data. When a server is set in build mode waitron will deliver a kernel/initrd/commandline used by pixiecore (in API mode) to boot and install the machine.
Run in docker container
docker run -v /path/to/data:/data \
-e CONFIG_FILE=/data/config.yaml \
jhaals/waitron
Run locally
go build . && CONFIG_FILE=config.yaml ./waitron
The config file needs a minimum set of parameters which will be available in the templates as config.value.
