Prerequisites

before setting up new machine run memory test
prepare flash drive with free version of memtest86: https://www.memtest86.com
test boot from flash drive, test takes ~ few hours
test will end with summary page, if passed continue with Ubuntu
number that might be worth noting is memory latency

Ubuntu version

lsb_release -a
uname -a

Ubuntu installer

updated for Ububtu LTS 20.04.01, 22.04.1, 24.04 (only minor differences)

download the latest Ubuntu LTS desktop installer iso image
dd the image to a USB key
power down, disconnect all disks (all HDDs, all SSDs, all M.2)
connect the SSD to be used as system disk
if system will use mirrored SSDs (using ZFS mirror), leave second SSD disconnected, we will activate it later
power up
boot from USB key in legacy mode or UEFI mode (select this in the BIOS boot menu - F8 for ASUS, F11 for Supermicro)
follow the instruction:
"try ubuntu or install ubuntu" - choose "install"
select language - accept default
"updates and other software" - accept default settings ("normal install")
"installation type" - select "advanced features" and "experimental: use ZFS"
accept partition choice
"where are you?" - select "Vancouver" (PST time zone)
"who are you?" - leave all fields blank, except "username" set to "wheel", "password" set to the root password. hostname will be set later after configuring the network
don't install third party sw
installation runs in a few minutes, when finished, reboot
login as user wheel
answer annouying questions:
"livepatch" - say "next"
"help improve" - select "do not send", say "next"
"privacy" - leave "location" as "off", say "next"
"ready to go", say "done"
right-click on the desktop, say "open in terminal", a shell will open
say "sudo /bin/bash", enter the root password, you now have the root shell
run nm-connection-editor to configure the network. use netmask 255.255.224.0, gateway 142.90.100.18, DNS 142.90.100.19, search path "triumf.ca"
after network is up (can ping ladd00), continue with post-installation steps below

Install instructions

prepare

apt update
apt upgrade

install ssh

apt install ssh

install git/scripts

apt -y install git
mkdir ~root/git
cd ~root/git
git clone https://daq00.triumf.ca/~olchansk/git/scripts.git
cd scripts
git pull

if needed, update git/scripts repository from ladd00 to daq00:
git remote -v ### if it says daq00, we are good
git remote set-url origin https://daq00.triumf.ca/~olchansk/git/scripts.git
git pull ### check that it works

configure hostname

vi /etc/hostname

disable swap

ubuntu installer creates a 2 GB swap partition, not useful on 32-64 GB machine, disable it:

vi /etc/fstab ### comment out the "swap" line

on 64 GB RAM machines swap is not useful
on machines booted from network (NFS-ROOT), swap does not work
on machines running from flash (RPi, etc), flash is too slow for useful swap
swap configured by linux installers invariably has wrong size and is not useful

systemctl disable dphys-swapfile
systemctl stop dphys-swapfile
dphys-swapfile uninstall

maybe reboot

this is a good point to reboot the machine to boot the latest kernel and to set the correct hostname

install etckeeper

keep contents of /etc in a git repository:

apt -y install etckeeper

set timezone

timedatectl list-timezones | grep -i vancouver
timedatectl set-timezone America/Vancouver

install time synchronization

check if chrony is installed correctly and is synched to TRIUMF time servers:

chronyc sources
chronyc tracking

if not, remove old chrony and

apt -y remove chrony
apt -y purge chrony

and install it from scratch:

apt -y install chrony
cd ~/git/scripts
git pull
cd ~
cp ~/git/scripts/etc/triumf.sources /etc/chrony/sources.d/
systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl disable ntp
systemctl stop ntp
systemctl enable chrony
systemctl restart chrony
chronyc sources
chronyc tracking

reenable systemd-timesyncd

ONLY IF CHRONY DOES NOT WORK

To configure systemd-timesyncd, set "NTP=" in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

apt remove chrony
cat /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
timedatectl status
timedatectl timesync-status

enable outgoing email (debian 11)

this is different from ubuntu 20. it uses /etc/mailname and it hardwires the hostname into main.cf.

enable outgoing email

we have an unusual email configuration. outgoing email should work to deliver error messages, notices, etc. incoming email is disabled, we do not receive email for local users.

this causes problems with TRIUMF smtp server. if our message cannot be delivered (wrong email address or receipient computer is turned off), TRIUMF smtp server will generate a delivery failure notification email and try to send it to the "from" address of the failed message. but the "from" address does not receive any email, so another delivery failure notification email is generated and an attempt to deliver it. which again fails, rinse and repeat.

as solution, kray created a special rule, email from scrap.triumf.ca does not generate delivery failure notices. failed messages sit in the queue for 5 days, then they are deleted. (K.O. - confirmed with kray 3jan2024).

to make this work we use the msmtp MTA package.

cd ~
apt -y remove postfix
apt -y purge postfix # remove old config files
apt -y install mailutils msmtp msmtp-mta # say "no" to apparmor support
apt -y install bsd-mailx
cd ~/git/scripts/etc
git pull
/bin/cp -fv aliases /etc/aliases
/bin/cp -fv msmtprc /etc/msmtprc
/bin/rm -vf ~root/.forward
/bin/rm -vf /etc/mailname
Mail root
Subject: test
test
^D
CC: <CR>

enable outgoing email (postfix)

THIS IS OBSOLETE!!!

TRIUMF: use smtp.triumf.ca
CERN: use cernmx.cern.ch

apt install postfix ### select "satellite system", enter full hostname "xxx.triumf.ca", enter "smtp.triumf.ca"
apt install mailutils
dpkg-reconfigure postfix ### (if postfix already installed)

echo olchansk@triumf.ca lindner@triumf.ca bsmith@triumf.ca >> ~root/.forward
mailx root
test
^D

enable ping for all users (debian 11)

Without this tweak, Debian will report "operation not permitted" if a user tries to ping somewhere.

echo 'net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 1000' > /etc/sysctl.d/99-ping.conf

disable apparmor

On NFS-Root network booted machines!

If "man man" returns "permission denied" and syslog reports apparmor "sendmsg DENIED" errors, disable apparmor. This is supposedly fixed in kernel 6.0 and later (to be confirmed), see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1784499

Disable apparmor, see https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/security-apparmor

This takes effect after a reboot.

systemctl stop apparmor.service
systemctl disable apparmor.service

install missing packages

install desktop environments

note: default display manager and default desktop are deficient, please do not skip this step.

note: if apt asks to choose the display manager, select "lightdm"

note: KO - I recommend the "MATE" desktop.

note: you will have to cut-and-paste this several times because "apt" eats commands, even with "-y" and even piped from "yes".

IPMI instructions

IPMI is the board management hardware on Supermicro and other server motherboards. This includes hardware sensors - fan rotation speed, temperatures and power supply voltages.

apt-get install ipmitool
systemctl enable ipmievd

ipmitool sel elist ### event list
ipmitool sel clear ### clear event list (if it becomes full)
ipmitool sensor ### report hardware sensors

move /home/wheel (U-24)

Ubuntu LTS 24 installed on ZFS has rpool/USERDATA/home_xxx mounted on /home, has to be moved or autofs /home will not work.

zfs list | grep USERDATA | grep home | cut -f1 -d" "
zfs set -u mountpoint=/home1 `zfs list | grep USERDATA | grep home | cut -f1 -d" "`
emacs -nw /etc/passwd # change mount for wheel account to /home1/wheel

This will not take effect until rebooting. So reboot now and make sure that when you login as wheel that home directory is /home1/wheel. Please ensure that ssh from root@daq00 to this computer works before trying this; if ssh from root@daq00 doesn't work and you mess this up you will be locked out of wheel account

move /home/wheel

note: this MUST be done if ZFS root and NIS/autofs with /home.

Default location of wheel's home directory will collide with autofs /home, it has to be moved, for example to /wheel.

# logout from the wheel user
# go to another computer
ssh root@daqubuntuxxx
zfs list | grep wheel ### identify zfs name wheel_xxxxxx
#zfs set mountpoint=/wheel rpool/USERDATA/wheel_hm8fzh
zfs set mountpoint=/wheel `zfs list | grep wheel | cut -f1 -d" "`
zfs list | grep wheel
emacs -nw /etc/passwd ### change wheel's home directory from /home/wheel to /wheel
su - wheel ### check that user wheel still works

This will break wheel's ability to run snap programs, such as firefox, install chrome as listed below.

NIS master

notes for setting up the NIS master

wheel user

"wheel" is the default administrative user. We do not want it's password exported to NIS (encrypted password hash is world visible) and we do not want it's home directory exported to NFS (~wheel/.ssh is world visible and potentially writable: anybody can change ~wheel/.ssh/authorized_keys).

move wheel's home directory from /home/wheel to /wheel (see special section about this)
change wheel's UID and GID from 1000 to a value below MINUID in /var/yp/Makefile

coherent uids

we do not want system accounts defined in /etc/passwd of the NIS master to be included in the NIS map "passwd". this causes trouble on NIS clients where newly installed packages fail to create local system users because same user already exists in NIS.

This is controlled by MINUID in /var/yp/Makefile.

Historical TRIUMF uids start from around 200, but several clusters do not have any historic TRIUMF uids below 500 and MINUID is set to:

DAQ-NIS: MINUID=200
ISAC-NIS: MINUID=500
TITAN-NIS: MINUID=500
MUSR-NIS: MINUID=500
TIG-NIS: MINUID=500 (100 on SL6 mother8pi)

Ubuntu 20 has two programs to create users:

adduser - creates new users with UID 1000 and up as specified in /etc/adduser.conf. No problems here.
adduser --system - creates new system users with UID 100 and up as specified in /etc/adduser.conf. No problems here.
useradd - creates new users with UID 1000 and up as specified in /etc/login.defs. No problems here.
useradd --system - creates new system users with UID 999 and down (read "man useradd", section at the end about SYS_UID_MAX). This collides with NIS MINUID, these system users will be included in the NIS map and cause trouble.

This problem cannot be fixed, SYS_UID_MIN, SYS_UID_MAX and UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs do not seem to have any effect on UIDs chosen by "useradd --system". (tested on Ubuntu LTS 20.04).

So far only these system accounts seem to be affected by this:

systemd-coredump
ganglia

To fix:

run "sort -r -n -t: -k3 /etc/passwd" to identify the last unused system user uid (range 100..200)
run "sort -r -n -t: -k3 /etc/group" to identify the last unused system user gid (range 100.200)
systemd-coredump: manually change UID and GID (package systemd-coredump is usually not installed)
ganglia: same thing, then change ownership on all ganglia files.

Also read systemd author's opinion on system vs user UIDs: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4850#issuecomment-265698275

Fix systemd-logind NIS breakage

!!! THIS IS NOT NEEDED FOR UBUNTU LTS 20.04 !!!

there is a delay in ssh logins for normal users. "ssh -v" shows the delay is after "pledge...". this fix removes the delay.

systemd developers think that we should not use NIS and made sure there are problems if we do. To give them credit, they do offer a workaround. Read this: https://github.com/poettering/systemd/commit/695fe4078f0df6564a1be1c4a6a9e8a640d23b67

Enable rc.local

For reasons unknown, Ubuntu LTS 20.04 does not enable /etc/rc.local. Do this:

cd ~/git/scripts
git pull
cp -n -v etc/rc.local /etc/
chmod a+rx /etc/rc.local
cp etc/rc-local.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable rc-local
systemctl start rc-local
systemctl status rc-local

Remove unwanted packages

apt purge  bash-completion # broken, adds unwanted "\" if "ls -l $ROOTSYS/<tab>"
apt purge  zsys # broken, do not use
apt purge  sddm # login manager
apt purge  avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd # not sure what it does, observed using 100% CPU
apt purge  modemmanager # probes all serial ports to see if it's a modem

Disable sleep and suspend

note: we see some computers randomly shutdown or go to sleep, log files indicates the "sleep" or "suspend" button was pushed by user, but no such buttons actually exist. this is the fix for this:

systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target systemd-suspend.service systemd-hybrid-sleep.service

Enable crontab @reboot for MIDAS

startup scripts have a bug - cron @reboot entries for normal users can run before autofs is ready, so if the home directory is on autofs/NFS, it cannot be accessed and the cron job fails. If MIDAS is supposed to be started by cron @reboot, it will not start (there *will* be an error message in /var/log/cron).

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/cron.service.d
echo -e "[Unit]\nAfter=ypbind.service autofs.service\n" > /etc/systemd/system/cron.service.d/local.conf
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl cat cron.service

Explore the systemd dependency tree using "systemctl list-dependencies" maybe with "--all".

Visualize the exact boot sequence from previous boot: "systemd-analyze plot > xxx.svg", look at the svg file using a web browser.

Crontab entry to start midas: (install in the midas user crontab, not root crontab)

su - midasuser
crontab -l
#@reboot /bin/bash -l -c "/home/trinat/bin/start-daq-applications"
#@reboot /bin/tcsh -c "/home/trinat/bin/start-daq-applications"

Install apache httpd proxy for midas and elog

disable default ssl sites

a2dissite 000-default-le-ssl
a2dissite 000-default
ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ ### should show only daq14-ssl.conf

check that there are no syntax problems

apache2ctl configtest

enable and start apache2:

systemctl enable apache2
systemctl restart apache2
systemctl status apache2

apache2 may fail to start, look in /var/log/apache2/error.log and /var/log/apache2/daq14.log
if it says "Failed to configure ... certificate", proceed to the step for setting certbot.
try to access https://daq14.triumf.ca
- you should see a complaint about self-signed certificate
- you should see a request for password (do not login yet)
- if you get "connection refused", HTTPS port 443 may need to be enabled in the local firewall, look at documentation for ufw.

Second, configure certbot:

(Note: as of 2018-01-18 certbot requires use of http port 80 to get the initial https certificate, renewal can continue to use the https port 443)

(Note: as of 2019-01-?? certbot requires use of port 80 for renewals)

(Note: unsurprisingly, this requires outside access to connect with letsencrypt, so won't work if PC is only accessible from on-site network)

check that port 80 is not used by anything:
netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep ^tcp | grep 80
lsof -P | grep -i tcp | grep LISTEN | grep 80
if lsof reports that apache2 is listening on port 80, follow the apache2 instructions above (remove "listen 80" from apache2.conf

install certbot (if necessary open tcp port 80 in the firewall, see documentation for ufw):

apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache
certbot certonly --standalone --installer apache

then answer questions:
"activate HTTPS for daq14.triumf.ca" - say ok
"enter email address" - enter your own email address
"please read terms..." - read the terms and say "agree"
it will take a few moments...
"congratulations..." - say ok.

certbot install --apache --cert-name daq14.triumf.ca

then answer questions:
"choose redirect..." - say "1" (no redirect)
look inside /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/daq14-ssl.conf to see that SSLCertificateFile & co point to certbot certificates in

/etc/letsencrypt/live/daq14.triumf.ca/

to check current renewal and to update the certbot config file in /etc/letsencrypt/renewal, run this:

certbot renew --standalone --installer apache --force-renewal

NOTE: this certificate will expire in 3 months, automatic renewal should work with current version of certbot

Third, activate password protection:

as shown in the config file above, create password file and initial user: (replace "midas" with specific username)

touch /etc/apache2/htpasswd
htpasswd /etc/apache2/htpasswd midas

restart apache2

systemctl restart apache2
systemctl status apache2

From here:

enable proxy for MIDAS mhttpd - uncomment redirect in the config file above
enable proxy for ELOG - ditto

a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_http
apache2ctl configtest
systemctl restart apache2

try accessing MIDAS https://daq14.triumf.ca/ (make sure mhttpd is running)
if it's not working, check odb setting FIXME!
try accessing ELog https://daq14.triumf.ca/elog/ (make sure elogd is running)
if it's not working, check elogd.cfg file and make sure

SSL                  = 0

NOTE: if certbot fails with errors about 'module' object has no attribute 'pyopenssl', try this: pip install requests==2.6.0

Install Jupyter notebook

From https://jupyter.org/install
apt install python3-pip
pip install jupyterlab
pip install notebook
~/.local/bin/jupyter notebook
watch the http://localhost:8888 URL that it printed
say "no" to offer to start firefox (it will not work!)
URL is: http://localhost:8888/tree?token=xxx
from the machine where you are running the web browser (i.e. google-chrome), run (replace trinat@trinatdaq with the username and machine name where you started jupyter)
open a new shell and run: ssh -v trinat@trinatdaq -L 8888:localhost:8888
in the web browser, open http://localhost:8888
this gives us the login page
in the password or token entry field, put the token from the "tree?token=xxx" above (printed by jupyter on startup)
push button "login"
jupyter page should open with the list of files in the trinat home directory

Enable core dumps

By default, Ubuntu LTS 20.04 installs the apport package which disabled core dumps from user applications. (google it up!). It is not meant to do this and documentation claims that it is not installed and not enabled by default. Oh, well...

apt remove apport
apt autoremove ### will remove apport-symptoms and a few other packages

After this, core dumps are written to file "core" in the current directory. See /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern and /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid.

Enable core dump file names to include process id, add following to /etc/rc.local

echo "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid" >> /etc/rc.local

Enable debugger

By default, Ubuntu LTS 20.04 does not permit debugger to attach and debug already running programs. To enable it, add following to /etc/rc.local

echo "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" >> /etc/rc.local

Disable Ubuntu Pro nag

best I can tell, impossible at this time.

do not do this

!!! does nothing !!!

pro config set apt_news=false

do not do this

!!! breaks automatic updates because 20apt-esm-hook.conf is missing !!!

If "apt upgrade" requests Ubuntu Pro or esm-apps, disable the nag:

/bin/rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf

do not do this

!!! likely same as above, breaks automatic updates !!!

comment out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf

do not do this

!!! removes too many packages !!!

apt remove ubuntu-pro-client

Update packages

apt update # update package list
apt upgrade # install updated packages and update "kept back" packages
apt autoremove # remove packages that apt thinks should be removed

Finish installation

Congratulations. There is nothing more to do!

do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive

if it exists "too soon" without doing anything, run it without "-f xxx", most likely it does not like something about this machine. in case of daq00 it did not like how the EFI partitions were mounted. after fixing it, non-interactive upgrade was successful.

Assuming Ubuntu LTS 22.04 with "instal on ZFS" option, we will add a second SSD, configure ZFS to use both SSDs in mirrored configuration and setup grub to boot from either SSD. This is intended to create a full redundant system where failure of either SSD does not break the system.

if second SSD is not autodetected, reboot
Clone partition table automatically

If both SSDs are identical size, use this simpler method of duplicating the partition table:

root@midm9b:~# sfdisk -d /dev/sda > part_table
root@midm9b:~# grep -v ^label-id part_table | sed -e 's/, *uuid=[0-9A-F-]*//' | sfdisk /dev/sdb

The grep and sed in the second command are there to prevent disk ID and partition IDs from being cloned. Alternatively the part_table file can be edited manually to remove the label-id line and the uuid entries from the individual partitions.

Clone partition table manually (e.g. for different size disks)
list partition table of first SSD:

NOTE: THIS IS BROKEN IN UBUNTU LTS 22.04

NetworkManager is useful for configuring dynamic network interfaces, i.e. laptops that often move between networks, or connect to multiple choice of wifi networks, etc.

For machines with statically configured network interfaces, NetworkManager is not necessary.

As it has been observed to become confused and observed to malfunction when network links go up and down (it keeps unnecessarily reconfiguring the ip address, etc), it can be usefuil to disable it.

list all network interfaces

# /bin/ls -1 /sys/class/net/
enp0s31f6
lo

edit /etc/network/interfaces:

rename enp0s31f6=eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   address 142.90.120.94/19
   gateway 142.90.100.18

statically configure systemd-resolved
- create /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/resolved.conf with this contents:

[Resolve]
DNS=142.90.100.19
Domains=triumf.ca

- systemctl restart systemd-resolved
- resolvectl
- systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/resolved.conf
disable NetworkManager

systemctl disable NetworkManager

reboot

U-22, U-24 ifup-ko

Network configuration of modern linux is confused. There are at least 3 configuration methods, each with different shortcomings:

the old ifup method is barely documented
NetworkManager is well documented and tooled, but sometimes does strange things
systemd-networkd is mysterious, and likely to do strange stuff, like all systemd stuff
netplan is the latest method, configuration is simple but uses NetworkManager or systemd-networkd as backend.

This is a solution for a specific situation of fixed computer with one fixed wired interface and maybe one or more additional interfaces for fixed wired private networks.

Install /etc/ifup-ko, edit it with IP addresses of main and additional interfaces, let systemd run it in the right place in the boot sequence replacing NetworkManager and NetworkManager-wait-online .

As bonus, /etc/ifup-ko waits up to 10 seconds for the main interface link to come up. If this is not needed, comment it out from the script.

prepare

cd ~/git/scripts
git pull
cd ifup-ko
make install

confirm interface names

systemctl start ifup-ko ### should finish immediately or after 10 seconds
systemctl status ifup-ko -n 1000 ### observe list of interfaces is correct, name of main interface is correct

edit /etc/ifup-ko
- add host IP address to the "ifconfig" line
- add gateway IP address to the "ip route add" line
test

systemctl start ifup-ko ### should finish immediately
systemctl status ifup-ko -n 1000 ### observe everything is configured as expected

cut-over

systemctl disable networkd-dispatcher
systemctl disable NetworkManager
systemctl disable wpa_supplicant # if no Wifi or Wifi not in use

reboot

Setup ubuntu as gateway to private network

Steps to do

!!! UPDATED 16feb2024 Ubuntu-22.04.03 !!!

assign network numbers to the private network, i.e. 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, etc
(on the gateway machine, each private network interface has to have a different network number)
(each network interface can have multiple networks attached, via VLANs or via eth0:0, eth0:1 constructs)
assign IP addresses on the private network, save them in /etc/hosts i.e. "hvps 192.168.1.10"
(for simplicity, assign 192.168.1.1 to the gateway machine itself)
(IP addresses 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255 are "special", do not use them)
setup DNS server (dnsmasq) to serve contents of /etc/hosts via DNS (otherwise, many programs will see inconsistent name to IP address mapping)
setup DHCP server (dnsmasq) to give out the IP addresses
setup TFTP server (dnsmasq), pxelinux and NFS for diskless booting
setup time server (chronyd) to provide common time to all devices
setup NAT so machines on private network can access the internet (to get OS updates, etc)
setup NIS and NFS so machines on the private network can use common home directories
setup rsync backup of machines on the private network

setup hosts

edit /etc/hosts

192.168.1.101 dsfe01
... and so forth

setup dns and dhcp

!!! updated 16feb2024 for Ubuntu 22.04.3 !!!

!!! note: stock systemd-resolved remains, is configured to forward queries to dnsmasq, configured to forward queries to TRIUMF DNS !!!

!!! note: per authors of systemd, bare hostnames are not permitted, a DNS domain name must always be used. DNS domain name "dsdaq" is used in this example !!!

apt install dnsmasq
ensure dnsmasq starts after all interfaces are up (Ubuntu-22)

try to ping daq00, daq00.triumf.ca, all should work
resolved-dsdaq.conf goes into /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ of all machines on the private network
if not using systemd-resolved, edit /etc/resolv.conf

setup chronyd

enable ntp server:
disable systemd-timesyncd, configure and enable chronyd per instructions above
create dsdaq.conf

# chrony config for dsdaq server

setup linux kernel

copy the kernel files

cd /boot
rsync -av config* initrd* System.map* vmlinuz* /tftpboot/

cd /tftpboot
chmod a+r *

setup nfs

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
enable NFS over UDP, edit /etc/nfs.conf add "udp=y":

after editing /etc/exports, run

exportfs -av

setup userland

!!! ubuntu-18 version !!!

zfs create rpool/nfsroot
zfs set dedup=verify rpool/nfsroot ### enable deduplication to save disk space because most linux images have mostly identical files
clone ubuntu

mkdir /nfsroot/dsfe01
cd /
rsync -avx . /nfsroot/dsfe01

edit config files:
cd /nfsroot/dsfe01
emacs -nw etc/hostname ### change to dsfe01
emacs -nw etc/mailname ### change to dsfe01

emacs -nw etc/chrony/chrony.conf
- comment-out all "pool" and "server" entries
- add entry "server 192.168.1.1 iburst"

After dsfe01 is booted:

disable services:

systemctl disable apache2
systemctl disable dnsmasq
systemctl disable zfs-import-cache

To setup additional machines, clone dsfe01 instead of cloning the gateway machine

Allow manpages to be viewed

If / is mounted over NFS, man will report a permission error. Fix it with:

ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.man /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.man

setup shared home directory

on the gateway machine

define netgroups
emacs -nw /etc/netgroup

dsfe (dsfe01,,) (dsfe02,,)

emacs -nw /etc/nsswitch.conf ### edit the netgroup line to read:

netgroup: files

export the home directories:
emacs -nw /etc/exports ### add this:

/zssd/home1 @dsfe(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

exportfs -rc

on the frontend machine

mkdir /home
emacs -nw /etc/fstab ### add this:

mount -a

setup NAT

NAT allows machines on the private network to connect to the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

In these examples:

replace "eno1" with name of the outgoing interface (the one connected to the TRIUMF network).
replace "enp11s0" with name of the private network interface (192.168.1.x network)

emacs -nw /etc/rc.local ### add this:

# /etc/rc.local

# enable NAT

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eno1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -L -v

# uncomment following lines if machine has prohibitive FORWARD rules:
#/sbin/iptables -I FORWARD -i eno1 -o enp11s0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
