## BIOS setup

Below is my BIOS setup, your motherboard may have a different name for the options, so you'll need to adapt it with your hardware.

## Update config files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gather the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] MAC address for each machine
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] OS disk name (for example `/dev/sda`)
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Network interface name (for example `eth0`)
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Choose a static IP address for each machine (just the desired address, we don't set anything up yet)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Fork this repo](https://github.com/khuedoan/homelab) and update these config files based on those information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `metal/hosts.yml`
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `metal/group_vars/all.yml`
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] TODO git config in `bootstrap/...`
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] TODO single place for Ingress domain
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] (Optional) TODO single place for docs link config
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO single place for all config, maybe a `./config` directory with some symlinks?
|
