Templating

Warewulf uses the text/template engine to convert dynamic content into static content and auto-populate files with the appropriate data on demand.

In Warewulf, you can find templates both for the provisioning services (e.g. /etc/warewulf/ipxe/, /etc/warewulf/dhcp/, and /etc/warewulf/hosts.tmpl) as well as within the runtime and system overlays.

(more documentation coming soon)

Examples

range

iterate over elements of an array

{{ range $devname, $netdev := .NetDevs }}

# netdev = {{ $netdev.Hwaddr }}

{{ end }}

increment variable in loop

iterate over elements of an array and increment i each loop cycle

{{ $i := 0 }}

{{ range $devname, $netdev := .NetDevs }}

# netdev{{$i}} = {{ $netdev.Hwaddr }}

{{ $i = inc $i }}

{{ end }}

decrement

iterate over elements of an array and decrement i each loop cycle

{{ $i := 10 }}

{{ range $devname, $netdev := .NetDevs }}

# netdev{{$i}} = {{ $netdev.Hwaddr }}

{{ $i = dec $i }}

{{ end }}
