Iāve been working on standing up a new Blanca login node for ICS to replace their long-standing login node that is aging out of manufacturer support. But this time I want to actually design a Blanca login service that other contributors could use; so Iām using this opportunity to genericize our configuration manifest.Ā Most of the work is already done; but a few of our profiles need a bit more work:
- Thereās a flat list of packages weāve installed just for ICS, so I need to decide how to categorize that for the future.
- The node isnāt on the correct network yet, so I havenāt applied the networking configuration yet.
- The telegraf profile wasnāt able to find the package to install, so I need to investigate that.
- I need to get the Nvidia GPU driver installed so I can start monitoring it.
- And, finally, I need to actually write an authz configuration for the host. I plan on doing this with pam_access, to control who is actually allowed to log in to the node.
