Changing IP address post fog install is problematic

sudburr

In its simplest form that we run, some of our FOG servers are stationary, others move around. For us to have a single solution build that works for any location, all of our FOG servers are configured to grab an IP via external DHCP reservation.

I copy and paste the following to the CLI to edit rc.local:

cp -f /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local.old
if [ -f /etc/centos-release ]; then
echo ' ' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'make_fog_portable' >> /etc/rc.local
echo ' ' >> /etc/rc.local
else
sed -i "s|exit 0|make_fog_portable &|g" /etc/rc.local
echo ' ' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'exit 0' >> /etc/rc.local
fi
chmod 755 /etc/rc.local
echo '#!/bin/bash' > /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '#' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '# make_fog_portable &' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '#' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '# This script is expected to be run as a job from /etc/rc.local' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '# It will wait until an IP address is found, then use that IP' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '# address to configure the FOG Server for that site.' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo '#' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo ' ' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
echo 'exit 0' >> /bin/make_fog_portable
chmod 755 /bin/make_fog_portable
vim /bin/make_fog_portable

At the now open file ‘make_fog_portable’ Insert the following, before “exit 0” ; [ESC]:wq to write/quit

# Wait for an IP address
IP=`ip addr list eth0 | grep "inet " |cut -d" " -f6|cut -d/ -f1`
while [ -z $IP ]
do
	echo "Waiting :05 for an IP Address" > /dev/kmsg
	sleep 5
	IP=`ip addr list eth0 | grep "inet " |cut -d" " -f6|cut -d/ -f1`
done

# Make FOG Server Portable
sleep 6
echo "Updating IP address for FOG_TFTP_HOST to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
mysql --user=root -e "UPDATE \`globalSettings\` SET \`settingValue\` = '$IP' WHERE \`settingKey\` ='FOG_TFTP_HOST';" fog
echo "Updating IP address for FOG_WEB_HOST to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
mysql --user=root -e "UPDATE \`globalSettings\` SET \`settingValue\` = '$IP' WHERE \`settingKey\` ='FOG_WEB_HOST';" fog
echo "Updating IP address for FOG_WOL_HOST to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
mysql --user=root -e "UPDATE \`globalSettings\` SET \`settingValue\` = '$IP' WHERE \`settingKey\` ='FOG_WOL_HOST';" fog
echo "Updating IP address for Storage Node DefaultMember to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
mysql --user=root -e "UPDATE \`nfsGroupMembers\` SET \`ngmHostname\` = '$IP' WHERE \`ngmMemberName\` ='DefaultMember';" fog
echo "Updating IP address in file .fogsettings to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
sed -i "s|ipaddress=\".*\"|ipaddress=\"$IP\"|" /opt/fog/.fogsettings
echo "Updating IP address in file default.ipxe to be $IP [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
sed -i "s|http://\([^/]\+\)/|http://$IP/|" /tftpboot/default.ipxe
sed -i "s|http:///|http://$IP/|" /tftpboot/default.ipxe

echo "Sleeping 10 seconds before releasing script [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
sleep 10
echo "releasing script [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg

Complete the generalization with this; you will also need to run this after any FOG trunk update:

if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
cd /var/www/fog/lib/fog
fi

if [ -f /etc/centos-release ]; then
cd /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog
fi

cp -f config.class.php config.class.php.old
sed -i "s|\".*\..*\..*\..*\"|\$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']|" config.class.php
reboot

Why a job at startup? In the case of a power failure, the FOG server itself whether it be physical or virtual will almost invariably be available long before the site’s switches finish their POSTs and the network is available again. The loop to check for an IP prevents the FOG server coming up without an IP or in the case of a mobile server, forces the new IP into FOG’s configuration before it has a chance to start.

This solution even allows us to change the subnet entirely and the server will always, automatically reconfigure itself according to the new DHCP reservation.

Works like a charm.

This works on Ubuntu 14-, 15+, Debian 8+ and CentOS 7.

It is into this make_fog_portable job that I would also add any code for restarting critical services:


# Ubuntu 14-
sleep 6
echo "Restarting tftpd-hpa [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
service tftpd-hpa restart
sleep 6
echo "Restarting mysql [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
service mysql restart
sleep 6
echo "Restarting FOGMulticastManager [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
service FOGMulticastManager restart

# Debian 8+, Ubuntu 15+
if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
echo "Restarting Critical FOG Services [`date`]" > /dev/kmsg
systemctl restart tftp* mysql* FOG* apache*
fi

@sudburr now that is sweet! This is great work. It would have taken me several long hours to get to the point where you’ve come to. From here, it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to mix this with dnsmasq.

george1421

I agree this is great! I’m glad we have the community involvement in the FOG community to help everyone solve these basic problems. Well done @sudburr !!

The only thing that jumps out that may be an issue in the script is that for the Centos 7 OS the ethernet adapters are no longer just eth0, eth1 and so on. The Intel NUC I’m working on the default ethernet adapter is enp3s0.

I just checked and this value interface="enp3s0" can be extracted from the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file. This would then tie into what interface FOG is using too. There may be a case where there is a system with one or more network interfaces that the script would have to take into account.

If the interface name is known, you can use this to get the IP in CentOS 7.

interface1ip="$(/sbin/ip addr show | grep $interface1name | grep -o "inet [0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*" | grep -o "[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*")"

This is a piece from a little project I’m working on:
https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpnrouter/code/HEAD/tree/identifyInterfaces.sh#l26

Wayne Workman

I’m going to take a stab at making all of that below into one single cron-friendly script - and have it run via Cron every 5 minutes.

I’ll add logic to it so that it’ll only run if the IP has changed since the last run. It’ll use settings set in the FOG config file where appropriate.

I’ll also work dnsmasq into it as well, along with service restarts for dnsmasq.

@Wayne-Workman This is going to be a critical review of the code. Don’t take it personally (my guys hate me when I do this type of review, but the finished product is generally better).

Some lines use the full path to the application and some only use the application name. (i.e. /usr/share/awk)

Since you are using the full path to the application you assume that is the proper location. I just checked on my ubuntu based system awk is in /usr/bin/awk under Centos 7 its again /usr/bin/awk but in your script it references /usr/share/awk which I assume would cause your script to fail on these systems.

What would happen if interface or fogsettingsIP returned nothing instead of a value what would happen to your script?

The same question if the mysql credentials were not returned.

In sudburr’s post also references a wol host field to be updated, is this important?

What happens if config.class.php.old already exists when the script is run a second or third time. Will anything important be lost?

Do any running fog services maintain a cached copy of the server’s IP address or do the fog services need to be stopped when you update these settings to make them stick?

Wayne Workman

@george1421 All great points - The paths in there are for Fedora 23.

I’ll see about using the $PATH variable instead of hard coded paths - and I’ll work on better variable handling.

george1421

@Wayne-Workman

Some other things I just thought of while walking about.

How does dhcp lease time come into play in regards to script execution. Especially if this will be a cron job. Consider what is a shortest duration lease and a typical duration lease time.

should the physical location of this script be location in a fog related directory like /opt/fog/utils?

Is there any way to trap an interface going up/down and then to call your script? hint: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-run-firewall-script-as-soon-as-eth0-interface-brings-up.html

Does the interface go down and then up on a dhcp renewal.

We would assume that the path statement points correctly for bash to run without full paths on the called applications especially if they are system type applications.

Wayne Workman

@george1421 My thought was just to setup a cron job that runs every 5 minutes.

If the actual IP is the same as what’s in .fogsettings then nothing is done - and to find that out, it’s not much resources used.

mrayzies

@Wayne-Workman
I think there should be an option in .fogsettings to skip this altogether, not because of system resources, but occasionally I might want to poke at the system (e.g. add a temporary VIP for testing something else) and unless the coding is air-tight, it might kick off some horrible changes.

Wayne Workman

@mrayzies Are you talking about the cron job? We can add a simple setting into the .fogsettings file like keepIPupdated="1" / "0"

What I’m working on is a total custom thing - it’ll likely never be implemented into FOG Trunk officially.

mrayzies

I was talking about the CRON job.

And OK – sorry to barge in on the conversation.

Wayne Workman

@mrayzies By all means, give your thoughts and even contribute. FOG is a community project.

Wayne Workman

@george1421 This script should knock your socks right off.

It dynamically finds the paths for all the called programs by searching through the directories in $PATH. The result is CRON friendly commands that are easy to type.

Still 100% untested, I’ve not even run this script myself yet.

This changes all fog settings and the “defaultmember” storage node to whatever the current IP of the fog server is. I’ve tested it, it works.

I’ve added extensive fail-safes as @george1421 was talking about - if anything isn’t right, it just quits.

I’ll work on adding dnsmasq now and the earlier check to run the cron event or not from @mrayzies

# This script is for changing the FOG Server's IP address and configure dnsmasq automatically.
# It's intended to run as a cron event every 5 minutes, should work fine on Red Hat and RH variants. 
# Thanks to forums.fogproject.org @sudburr for doing a ton of initial work.
# Updated by forums.fogproject.org @Wayne-Workman
# Version 5.
# If you want to use dnsmasq, you must first set this up as a cron script to run every so oftne (every 5 minutes)
# And add dnsmasq to the packages list inside /opt/fog/.fogsettings
# and when "dodnsmasq" and "bldnsmasq" show up (after script's first run), set those to 1 or whatever you prefer.
#
# the final "undionly" line still needs fixed to be created from the bootfile variable in the ltsp.conf file.

This one provides messages, and outputs them to a log file. It also creates it’s own settings file instead of storing settings inside of .fogsettings.

The web directory work is also dynamically based on the settings in .fogsettings

bldnsmasq now defaults to 1 if it’s not previously set - this only makes sense to build the correct file if it doesn’t exist, that way if the user wants to start up dnsmasq, they can just simply start it.

I’ve also fixed some minor errors. I’ve tested this only on CentOS 7 - seems to be working good.

Given that dnsmasq has been added to the /opt/fog/.fogsettings “productlist”, and is installed, and this script is named: /opt/fog/utils/updateIP.sh and made executable, and a root crontab event is made such as */5 * * * * /opt/fog/utils/updateIP.sh or */3 * * * * /opt/fog/utils/updateIP.sh (every 5 minutes, or every 3 minutes)

Then this will keep you’re fog server and it’s “defaultmember” storage node’s IP addresses totally up to date.
And - if you’re using the dodnsmasq and bldnsmasq settings, it’ll keep those updated with the right IP as well. With those set and this script running via Cron - you have a 100% Mobile FOG Server that auto-configures itself every time it’s IP changes.

This still needs further polishing, like a installer and uninstaller, a readme and a GNU GPL license attached. I’ll also make it into a sourceforge project too.

@Wayne-Workman Very nice job. I’ll be sure to test this out on both Centos 7 and 6.5 after the holiday. But overall this looks great. It checks all of the boxes on the wish list.

@george1421 Thanks. I hope it’ll get the job done.

Here’s the latest copy: https://sourceforge.net/p/fogupdateip/code/HEAD/tree/

And this is how you’d check out using svn:

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/fogupdateip/code/ /svn/fogupdateip

I’ve fixed an issue there that had to do with the PATH variable - and I’ve made an installer and attached the GPL 3.0 license.

Of course it can be improved further by being made more efficient and better organized and with wider range of OS support, but right now it’s 100% complete for Fedora 23 and CentOS 7.

Changing IP address post fog install is problematic
