Joshua Boniface 7c6132f7dd Add node autoflush service and target
Add a systemd service to manage node flush/unflush, useful during
system startup and shutdown to avoid requiring administrator
intervention for this to occur. This is optional and the service is
not enabled by default, and the postinst script informs the
administrator of this.

Also adds a systemd target to collect the two service units together
and provide an easy way to flush+shutdown or startup+unflush the
entire PVC system.

PVC - The Parallel Virtual Cluster suite

Logo banner

Release Pipeline Status Documentation Status

PVC is a suite of Python 3 tools to manage virtualized clusters. It provides a fully-functional private cloud based on four key principles:

  1. Be Free Software Forever (or Bust)
  2. Be Opinionated and Efficient and Pick The Best Software
  3. Be Scalable and Redundant but Not Hyperscale
  4. Be Simple To Use, Configure, and Maintain

It is designed to be an administrator-friendly but extremely powerful and rich modern private cloud system, but without the feature bloat and complexity of tools like OpenStack. With PVC, an administrator can provision, manage, and update a cluster of dozens or more hypervisors running thousands of VMs using a simple CLI tool, HTTP API, or web interface. PVC is based entirely on Debian GNU/Linux and Free-and-Open-Source tools, providing the glue to bootstrap, provision and manage the cluster, then getting out of the administrators' way.

Your cloud, the best way; just add physical servers.
