spx admin init now works with zero external networking flags:
- Auto-detects WAN interface, gateway, prefix from ip route
- Auto-detects single-NIC vs multi-NIC mode
- Defaults to nat mode with DHCP for gateway IP
- Prints detected topology with interface roles
setup-ovn.sh gains --dhcp flag: obtains a DHCP lease on the
macvlan/bridge interface for the OVN gateway SNAT address, then
writes gateway_ip into spinifex.toml. Tested on VM: macvlan gets
separate IP from router DHCP, host keeps its original IP.
Three tiers of external networking:
- Zero flags: auto nat+DHCP (VMs get outbound internet)
- --external-pool=start-end: pool mode (VMs get public IPs)
- --no-external: overlay only (no internet for VMs)
Add --single-nic flag to setup-ovn.sh. When used with --external-bridge,
creates a macvlan sub-interface (spx-ext-{iface}) in bridge mode off the
host's NIC instead of adding the NIC directly to br-external. The host
keeps its IP — no migration, SSH-safe.
Strategy selection:
- Dedicated NIC: --external-iface=eth1 (add directly)
- Single NIC: --external-iface=eth0 --single-nic (macvlan)
- IP migration: --external-iface=eth0 (legacy, no --single-nic)
Add single_nic bool field to VPCDConfig for per-node config. Different
nodes in a cluster can use different strategies. Unit test verifies
single_nic parsing alongside external_interface.
Add external IPAM module (CAS-based IP allocation from admin-defined
pools in NATS KV). Supports multi-pool with region/AZ scoping, pool
fallback logic, gateway IP reservation, and concurrent allocation via
CAS retries. 12 unit tests covering allocation, release, exhaustion,
CAS conflict, multi-pool, fallback, validation, and idempotent init.
Add --external-bridge flag to setup-ovn.sh: creates OVS bridge
br-external, adds WAN NIC, migrates host IP to bridge, and sets
ovn-bridge-mappings=external:br-external for OVN localnet ports.
Add commented [network] section and external_interface to spinifex.toml
config template for discoverability.
Add cluster-wide [network] config with external_mode and multi-pool
support (ExternalPool with region/AZ scoping). Per-node vpcd gets
external_interface for WAN NIC name.
Fix handleIGWAttach to use real external IPs from the configured pool
instead of link-local 169.254.0.1/30. Gateway router port now gets
the pool's gateway IP with correct prefix length, SNAT uses the real
external IP, and the default route points to the actual WAN gateway.
Includes pool selection logic (AZ-scoped → region-scoped → unscoped
fallback) and unit tests for config parsing, IGW with external pool,
explicit gateway IP, and pool selection.
Move EBS, cluster, and node message types from config/ to types/.
Remove duplicate NodeDiscoverResponse from gateway and daemon.
Delete dead EC2StartInstances types and tests from config.
Update all imports across source and test files.
Sharded WAL causes incomplete write errors in E2E tests. Disable by
default in hive.toml template, service.go fallback, and viperblock
constructor. Can be re-enabled via hive.toml shardwal=true.
Add [viperblock] section to hive.toml with shardwal config (default
true). The setting flows from config through viperblockd to nbdkit
plugin args, allowing operators to disable sharded WAL if needed.
Bumps viperblock dependency from v1.0.10 to v1.0.11 which includes
the sharded WAL implementation (UseShardedWAL/OpenShardedWAL), fixing
CI build failures.
