pxe booting requires dhcp, I'm not sure I want another machine with a dhcp server at my home besides my router :)
<q3k>
you pxe boot from your other router :P
<hexa->
right
<hexa->
because HA is king
<name54>
One word... "backups". Long live clonezilla!!
<cransom>
it's a router, not a dhcper.
<name54>
Meh, if a CF disk is good enough for a cisco 7200 it's good enough for my linux frankenrouter. Lol
<Church->
Heh
<Church->
Still super annoying that thing died after two days of basically no use
<Church->
Really curious what part failed on it
<name54>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<hexa->
name54: npe-g1? :D
<cransom>
i think when we upgraded our 7206s very long ago, we mounted the npe-200 (maybe 100?) to a wall in honor of it's service.
<hexa->
as it should be
<cransom>
oh, no, it was an npe-200 and we replaced it with a freebsd router.
<cransom>
good times.
<cransom>
well. 2 of them. a lot of bgp with a fully redundant a/b network was excellent for maintenance.
<name54>
I guess you could pxe boot if you really want. I'm just saying.. that can't be done "all the way down", right?
<hexa->
that would be my point :)
<hexa->
turtles all the way down: yes
<hexa->
pxe all the way down: no
<name54>
Lol. I may write chickenscratch, true... but I still want it written down somewhere.
* hexa-
\o
<Church->
There's probably some hack to do it all the way down. :p
<name54>
Duh! Ok... I should have just been doing 'nix-build ucarp.nix' instead of 'nix-shell ucarp.nix'. That seems to be why I needed to do some some things manually the first time :O
<name54>
It seems a little obvious now, after letting the 8th pill some.
<name54>
^digest
<name54>
Hmmm... I wonder which nix pill summarizes the service wrapping piece =L
<name54>
Interestingly, there is no systemctl entry for ucarp in debian. The settings go right into '/etc/network/interfaces'. Ooops, sorry ... thinking out loud again.
<Church->
Nah, s'fine. I'll work up a service module for you tomorrow if you want.
<Church->
Probably
<name54>
Lol, any and all help is appreciated. Apparently this has just become a kind of "fun" missing puzzle piece to getting my frankenrouter ported over.
<name54>
It's not a life/death situation.
<name54>
Part of me really "gets" the need for something like nix. Especially after skimming:
<name54>
But I'm not exactly sure why all of /etc needs to be assimilated into the philosophy. Maybe I'm just thinking from a practical perspective, it'd be nice to port thing piecemeal.. kind of like what's provided by "networking.wireless.userControlled"
<name54>
My "/etc/network/interfaces" isn't exactly complex, but it's not just a few lines either. What a louse work ethic, huh?
<name54>
*lousy* lol
<name54>
Hmmm... maybe I'm a better candidate for the package manager than the OS itself; thinking out loud again.
