NODES.CONF(5)

✨ NODES.CONF(5) ✨

okay so this page is from the File Formats Manual, and it’s giving “Warewulf node config database” realness, bestie 🫶💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

nodes.conf — Warewulf node configuration database. periodt. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, nodes.conf is the primary database file for all compute nodes (and node profiles, too — hi profiles 👋✨). It’s a flat text YAML configuration file that’s managed by wwctl(1). very demure, very YAML 🎀

Manual editing of the nodes.conf file is possible, and lowkey it can be useful — no cap 🫶. BUT. bestie. listen. 👀 The internal structure of the file is subject to change without notice between Warewulf versions. it’s giving “don’t get too attached to the layout” energy 💀

The recommended — and only supported — mechanism for updating nodes.conf is via wwctl(1). fr fr. that’s the supported slay path 🔥👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

xoxo, NODES.CONF(5) 💖 from the File Formats Manual — and the footer has no date, bestie, so that’s the whole cute sign-off 🎀🦋
