Quick-Starts

The following quick-start guides will walk you through standing up the Tinkerbell stack. There are a few options for this. Pick the one that works best for you.

Options

• Vagrant and VirtualBox
• Vagrant and Libvirt
• Docker Compose
• Terraform and Equinix Metal
• Kubernetes
• Multipass

Next Steps

Now that you have a Tinkerbell stack up and running, you can start provisioning machines. Tinkerbell.org has a list of guides for provisioning machines. You can also create your own. The following docs will help you get started.

1. Example Hardware object
2. Example Template object
   • Template documentation
3. Example Workflow object

In the Sandbox

1. Add your templates

   kubectl apply -f my-custom-template.yaml

2. Create the workflow

   kubectl apply -f my-custom-workflow.yaml

3. Restart the machine to provision (if using the vagrant sandbox test machine this is done by running vagrant destroy -f machine1 && vagrant up machine1)
