MAAS on Ubuntu 12.10

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I just upgraded a Ubuntu 12.04 server to 12.10. It was built with MAAS but no other servers had been added to its private network yet, but I confirmed that dnsmasq was setup correctly for dhcp and iptables for forwarding etc. Now I have upgraded to 12.10, dhcp is no longer available and I found that dnsmasq was removed. What is controlling dhcp now, and where do I edit the correct configuration. This has to be done before I build the other servers and my small testing cloud. TIA (HowTos)

[ubuntu] 12.10 differences 34 weeks 2 days ago

I just upgraded a 12.04 server to 12.10. It was built with MAAS but no other servers had been added to its private network yet, but I confirmed that dnsmasq was setup correctly for dhcp and iptables for forwarding etc. Now I have upgraded to 12.10, dhcp is no longer available and I found that dnsmasq was removed. :mad: What is controlling dhcp now, and where do I edit the correct configuration.

I am trying to set up a small "lab" at home. Like many modern homes, I have a regular DSL service which comes with a 2Wire 3600HGV router, which acts also as a DHCP server.

I follow instalation from here wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS and I decide to do something like this: [Attached file] And on MaaS server i install dnsmasq and make it DHCP server.

I leave this blank. And in etc/network/interface I have this:

Code: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

{lang: 'en-GB'}

Dnsmasq is a lightweight server designed to provide DNS (and optionally DHCP and TFTP) services to a small-scale network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS.

eth dropping from dhcp loss 47 weeks 5 days ago

I took down my DHCP server to change some stuff, and after bringing it back up (down for 15 mins or so), I noticed that four other Ubuntu 12.04 servers set to use DHCP were unreachable. Running ifconfig on them returned just lo, so the eth0 and eth1 had been disabled.

I'm assuming the DHCP server missing caused them to shutdown the interface?

So I've configured my home connections to work with dnsmasq since it bundles a dhcp server with it and is quite nice to set up.

There is another package - isc-dhcp-... that also does this and perhaps is its intended purpose.

What am I losing out on?

I've got a problem with dnsmasq on my server everything but dns works on it, it currently gives out dhcp fine and points to the router etc however when i go to a website it wont find it, the dns is pointed to the server on the client machines.

after I install libvirt-bin and ubuntu-virt-server etc, my resolv.conf auto reset by dnsmasq about every hour

I haven't install network-manager and resolvconf and I search for dnsmasq, only dnsmasq-base have been installed.

when I try to remove dnsmasq-base, libvirt-bin will be removed automatically

how to keep dns config not be changed?

I would like deploy one or more charms with juju on MAAS environments (without OpenStack). The environment of the MAAS Controller is Ubuntu 12.10 with 2 NICs. One of the NIC is connected to a external DHCP and the other is holding by the MAAS-dhcp and is connected to a switch with 2 client servers (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).
