Without this, the IPMI information set during initial node creation can
never be changed, which can cause issues later. Instead, always set it
fresh on each node boot.
Adds a config flag that turns on the API client following the Primary
coordinator. The retcode of the start/stop commands is ignore so this
can fail gracefully if e.g. the client isn't installed.
There was really no need for this to be shared among all the
coordinators, which seemed more fragile. This way only the primary will
try to fence dead nodes.
This seems like a super-gross way to do this, but at the moment
I don't have a better way. Maybe just remove this component since
none of the volume/snapshot stuff is dynamic; will see as this
progresses.
The old way of doing this was a little cumbersome, with an upper YAML
tree split between "devices" (name and MTU) and addresses. This commit
unifies these under the root "networking" section to make this section
clearer.
MTUs were hardcoded at 9000, which breaks if the underlying interface
or network switch does not support jumbo frames, a possible deployment
limitation. This has non-obvious consequences due to MTU mismatches
for certain services (Ceph, Zookeeper, etc.).
This commit adds support for configurable MTUs for each interface,
set in pvcd.yaml. The example has been updated to reflect this, with
a default of 1500 (the Ethernet standard).
This commit also adds autoconfiguration of the VNI device MTU based
on the `vni_mtu` value, the same for bridge networks and minus 50
(rather than 200 from the hardcoded value, based on the following
resource [1]) for VXLAN networks.

MariaDB+Galera was terribly unstable, with the cluster failing to
start or dying randomly, and generally seemed incredibly unsuitable
for an HA solution. This commit switches the DNS aggregator SQL
backend to PostgreSQL, implemented via Patroni HA.
It also manages the Patroni state, forcing the primary instance to
follow the PVC coordinator, such that the active DNS Aggregator
instance is always able to communicate read+write with the local
system.
This required some logic changes to how the DNS Aggregator worked,
specifically ensuring that database changes aren't attempted while
the instance isn't actively running - to be honest this was a bug
anyways that had just never been noticed.
Closes#34
Implements the ability for a client to watch almost-live domain
console logs from the hypervisors. It does this using a deque-based
"tail -f" mechanism (with a configurable buffer per-VM) that watches
the domain console logfile in the (configurable) directory every
half-second. It then stores the current buffer in Zookeeper when
changed, where a client can then request it, either as a static piece
of text in the `less` pager, or via a similar "tail -f" functionality
implemented using fixed line splitting and comparison to provide a
generally-seamless output.
Enabling this feature requires each guest VM to implement a Libvirt
serial log and write its (text) console to it, for example using the
default logging directory:
```
<serial type='pty'>
<log file='/var/log/libvirt/vmname.log' append='off'/>
<serial>
```
The append mode can be either on or off; on grows files unbounded,
off causes the log (and hence the PVC log data) to be truncated on
initial VM startup from offline. The administrator must choose how
they best want to handle this until Libvirt implements their own
clog-type logging format.
