well that's the first node to reslve dns that I've tried. progress

How can I get the server to push the right dns address now?

I'm trying to update with the private ip and nslookup, but not working yet. maybe it will come to life like the public ip did

@User @User @User @User @User @User @User @User @User I'm going to reach out to each of you individually about issues you've had with the 0.8 release. No way we can handle all of those in this one chat (maybe I need to make breakout rooms). If you haven't yet, please create a GitHub issue for your specific problem. If we don't do that there's no way we'll be able to track.

Will do, thanks for all your help. Your project is awesome

Already have an appointment scheduled with the doctor hehe

@User if public IP is working stick with that. You need to restart the server with the correct IP under env vars (COREDNS_IP), and with the correct port mapping (which appeared to work with your private address so use that). Once that is done, any token you generate will contain the correct IP. However, existing nodes won't receive the update. For this, you need to update the netconfig (under /etc/netclient)

or leave and rejoin with a new token

under netconfig you would update server.coredns address

and run a pull

Brilliant, thank you. On the server I had coredns_addr as a url, not a public ip. Oh the shame. Looks like problem exists between keyboard and chair as usual.

no worries. Yeah that's a general DNS limitation, you cant set a URL with resolvectl

I'm learning! Thanks so much for your time, not to mention wasting it, but you've helped me out. If there's anyway I can help you document my type of scenario as it differs from the recommended setup, let me know

it would be great to have some documentation on setting up behind a home router. If you're willing to write something up and submit a PR to the repo, it would be greatly appreciated

all of our docs are in the repo under /docs, and are written with sphinx / Latex. It's very similar to markdown and is what any readthedocs hosted docs uses, so there's lots of documentation out there for using it

OK, I'll take a look for sure!

@User For Kubernetes, you can deploy on Kubernetes for sure, but depending on your use case that may not be ideal. Here's the thing. Let's say you're using Netmaker to manage a multi-cloud Kubernetes cluster, and Netmaker manages all the underlying networking. First, it's a bit chicken and egg, because you have to have a cluster to deploy Netmaker, but you have to have Netmaker to set up the IP addresses that the cluster will use! So it becomes a little troublesome. Second, let's say something goes wrong with the Netmaker pods. They freeze up, and something changes so that the Netmaker private IP's are no longer resolvable. At this point, not only can your nodes not contact each other, but you have also lost access to your Netmaker pods, since those are running on the nodes! This makes it almost impossible to debug when something goes wrong, since you must have network access to the pods to fix them, but the pods control Network access.

Now of course you can set up things in a super HA way where hopefully this doesn't happen, but things always go wrong on Kube at one point or another.

All that said, if you're using Netmaker to manage networking on top of the cluster, (for instance, multi-cluster networking), or for things outside the cluster, then it's fine.

So, I just wouldn't host Netmaker on the same cluster where you plan on controlling the underlying network for the nodes.

@User the plan is only to use netmaker for clients to access the k8s cluster and vpn .... not so much k8s node to node as its already a clustered configuration, unlike most other k8s deployments

basically a vpn "service"

Ah ok, in that case deploying onto k8s makes a lot of sense.

FYI we're re-factoring the yaml, images, and deployment scripts for k8s, so you might want to wait till next week to do that.

My problem is fixed 🙂

I don't recall what your problem was @User

I had two actually, my local devices could not ping each other and my macbook client didn't check in

both seems to be a bug lol

during install it didn't copy the netclient executable to /etc/netclient

for some reason isserver was set to no on the netmaker server netclient joined to the network
