Stacki - The World's Fastest Linux Provisioning Tool

So this looks pretty much like a MAAS competitor.

@scottalanmiller Got this running in the lab yet? I expect a full report by 5PM EST
-
It is already 9PM here, so that gives me some time

Does not appear to install. Starts to, but even with fallback "compatibility drivers" it just goes to a blank screen with a cursor and sits there. Nothing ever happens.
-
Going to the secondary install method...
-
So far... the documentation is poor and the installer does nothing at all. Nothing. So I'm putting this one as a fail. Their own ISO does not boot. Their "mount and install from CentOS" doesn't run. It just silently does ... nothing.
I could have built out a CentOS infrastructure while trying to get their installer to run.
-
@scottalanmiller maybe download the ISO again?
-
So just because I do hate giving up, I set it up and kicked off a boot, waited till it froze and went to bed. I let it run a few hours idle before going to bed and nothing.
Came back this afternoon and... the installer was ready to go! WTF?
Anyway, moving forward with this test.
-
And the front end server is installed. Now to figure it out....

So essentially you could have built a whole CentOS farm by hand in the time it took the installer to come up.
-
That is definitely true. Considering that the Scale HC3 can take a template and build up a new server in round about five to ten seconds, I could have had a pretty major system well underway during the installation process here.
-
It's quick once everything is completed.....
Like "hey guys the empire state building went up fast" No no... you finished it yesterday....
-
@scottalanmiller Remember not all of us have a Scale HC3 just laying around =P

But you should!

@scottalanmiller I am assuming that you are using Stacki 3, right? The CentOS 7 one?
