DHCP server for testing #29

Closed dashohoxha closed 6 years ago

dashohoxha commented 6 years ago

For testing the case of a non-standalone server (see: https://github.com/docker-scripts/dev--LTSP/issues/28) we need to run a DHCP server on the network.

Create the file dhcp/Vagrantfile that starts automatically a virtualbox DHCP server on a bridged network. This can be a very simple server, with low RAM (for example 512MB) that provides a simple DHCP service.

The most simple way for offering a DHCP service is to install and configure dnsmasq.

I have created dhcp/Vagrantfile with ram 512MB. Created provision script to install dnsmasq. I have some ideas on how configure it too. For testing it should I create another ltsp server with dnsmasq not installed and start this server and ltsp client And see if it the client can get ip address?

For testing it you can just start a ltsp-client (booting from PXE) and see if it gets an IP address. You don't need to run a ltsp-server. No problem that the client will fail to boot immediately after getting an IP address.

A ltsp-server will always have dnsmasq installed. But it can be configured to give DHCP service or not.
