Some follow-up checks of recent firmware fixes caused me to realize
we've mixxed up the firmware cleanup even more and our defensiveness
on the removal resulted in some confusion.
Ultimately, I guess this is... my second attempt to improve this, but
also attempt to heavily restrict our automatic glob expansion usage.

The net result before this change was the IPA Centos10 build initramfs
files were running around 533 MB, and with this change the file sizes
are down to 464MB.

ironic-python-agent-ramdisk
Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent.
More information can be found at: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/latest/
Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:
- Installs the
dhcp-all-interfacesso the node, upon booting, attempts to obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces. - Disables the
iptablesservice on SysV and systemd based systems. - Disables the
ufwservice on Upstart based systems. - Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
-
qemu-utilspartedhdparmutil-linuxgenisoimage
- When installing from source,
python-devandgccare also installed in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its dependencies. - Install the certificate if any, which is set to the environment
variable
DIB_IPA_CERTfor validating the authenticity by ironic-python-agent. The certificate can be self-signed certificate or CA certificate. - Compresses initramfs with command specified in environment variable
DIB_IPA_COMPRESS_CMD, which is 'gzip' by default. This command should listen for raw data from stdin and write compressed data to stdout. Command can be with arguments. - Configures rescue mode if
DIB_IPA_ENABLE_RESCUEis not set tofalse. - By default, sets a maximum size for the ramdisk systemd journal to
15M. This can be disabled by setting
DIB_IPA_DISABLE_JOURNAL_MAX_LOG_SIZEto any value which is notFalse.
This element outputs three files:
$IMAGE-NAME.initramfs: The deploy ramdisk file containing the ironic-python-agent (IPA) service.$IMAGE-NAME.kernel: The kernel binary file.
Note
The package based install currently only enables the service when using the systemd init system. This can easily be changed if there is an agent package which includes upstart or sysv packaging.
Note
Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
