+
+Ganeti is a virtual machine management system. It is designed to keep virtual
+machines running on a cluster of servers even in the event of hardware failures,
+and to make maintenance and recovery tasks easy. It consists of multiple
+services which are described later in this section. In addition to the Ganeti
+service, you will need the OpenSSH service (@pxref{Networking Services,
+@code{openssh-service-type}}), and update the @file{/etc/hosts} file
+(@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{hosts-file}}) with the cluster name
+and address (or use a DNS server).
+
+All nodes participating in a Ganeti cluster should have the same Ganeti and
+@file{/etc/hosts} configuration. Here is an example configuration for a Ganeti
+cluster node that supports multiple storage backends, and installs the
+@code{debootstrap} and @code{guix} @dfn{OS providers}:

+Users are advised to read the
+@url{http://docs.ganeti.org/ganeti/master/html/admin.html,Ganeti
+administrators guide} to learn about the various cluster options and
+day-to-day operations. There is also a
+@url{https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/ganeti-on-guix/,blog post}
+describing how to configure a small cluster.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} ganeti-service-type
+This is a service type that includes all the various services that Ganeti
+nodes should run.
+
+Its value is a @code{ganeti-configuration} object that defines the package
+to use for CLI operations, as well as configuration for the various daemons.
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} ganeti-configuration
+The @code{ganeti} service takes the following configuration options:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{ganeti} (default: @code{ganeti})
+The @code{ganeti} package to use. It will be installed to the system profile
+and make @command{gnt-cluster}, @command{gnt-instance}, etc available. Note
+that the value specified here does not affect the other services as each refer
+to a specific @code{ganeti} package (see below).
+
+@item @code{noded-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-noded-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{confd-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-confd-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{wconfd-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-wconfd-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{luxid-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-luxid-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{rapi-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-rapi-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{kvmd-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-kvmd-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{mond-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-mond-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{metad-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-metad-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{watcher-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-watcher-configuration)})
+@itemx @code{cleaner-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-cleaner-configuration)})
+
+These options control the various daemons and cron jobs that are distributed
+with Ganeti. The possible values for these are described in detail below.
+To override a setting, you must use the configuration type for that service:
+
+@lisp
+(service ganeti-service-type
+ (ganeti-configuration
+ (rapi-configuration
+ (ganeti-rapi-configuration
+ (interface "eth1"))))
+ (watcher-configuration
+ (ganeti-watcher-configuration
+ (rapi-ip "10.0.0.1"))))
+@end lisp
+
+@item @code{file-storage-paths} (default: @code{'()})
+List of allowed directories for file storage backend.
+
+@item @code{os} (default: @code{%default-ganeti-os})
+List of @code{<ganeti-os>} records.
+@end table
+
+In essence @code{ganeti-service-type} is shorthand for declaring each service
+individually:
+
+@lisp
+(service ganeti-noded-service-type)
+(service ganeti-confd-service-type)
+(service ganeti-wconfd-service-type)
+(service ganeti-luxid-service-type)

+(service ganeti-mond-service-type)
+(service ganeti-metad-service-type)
+(service ganeti-watcher-service-type)
+(service ganeti-cleaner-service-type)
+@end lisp
+
+Plus a service extension for @code{etc-service-type} that configures the file
+storage backend and OS variants.
+
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {Data Type} ganeti-os
+This data type is suitable for passing to the @code{os} configuration of
+Ganeti. It takes the following parameters:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{name}
+The name for this OS provider. It is only used to specify where the
+configuration ends up. Setting it to ``debootstrap'' will create
+@file{/etc/ganeti/instance-debootstrap}.
+
+@item @code{extension}
+The file extension for variants of this OS type. For example
+@file{.conf} or @file{.scm}.
+
+@item @code{variants} (default: @code{'()})
+List of @code{ganeti-os-variant} objects for this OS.
+
+@end table
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {Data Type} ganeti-os-variant
+This is the data type for a Ganeti OS variant. It takes the following
+parameters:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{name}
+The name of this variant.
+
+@item @code{configuration}
+A configuration file for this variant.
+@end table
+@end deftp
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-debootstrap-hooks
+This variable contains hooks to configure networking and the GRUB bootloader.
+@end defvr
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-debootstrap-extra-pkgs
+This variable contains a list of packages suitable for a fully-virtualized guest.
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} debootstrap-configuration
+
+This data type creates configuration files suitable for the debootstrap OS provider.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{hooks} (default: @code{%default-debootstrap-hooks})
+When not @code{#f}, this must be a G-expression that specifies a directory with
+scripts that will run when the OS is installed. It can also be a list of
+@code{(name . file-like)} pairs. For example:
+
+@lisp
+
+`((99-hello-world . ,(plain-file "#!/bin/sh\necho Hello, World")))
+
+@end lisp
+
+That will create a directory with one executable named @code{99-hello-world}
+and run it every time this variant is installed. If set to @code{#f}, hooks
+in @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-debootstrap/hooks} will be used, if any.
+@item @code{proxy} (default: @code{#f})
+HTTP proxy to use, if any.
+@item @code{mirror} (default: @code{#f})
+The Debian mirror. Typically something like @code{http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian}.
+The default varies depending on the distribution.
+@item @code{arch} (default: @code{#f})
+The dpkg architecture. Set to @code{armhf} to debootstrap an ARMv7 instance
+on an AArch64 host. Default is to use the current system architecture.
+@item @code{suite} (default: @code{"stable"})
+When set, this must be a Debian distribution ``suite'' such as @code{buster}
+or @code{focal}. If set to @code{#f}, the default for the OS provider is used.
+@item @code{extra-pkgs} (default: @code{%default-debootstrap-extra-pkgs})
+List of extra packages that will get installed by dpkg in addition
+to the minimal system.
+@item @code{components} (default: @code{#f})
+When set, must be a list of Debian repository ``components''. For example
+@code{'("main" "contrib")}.
+@item @code{generate-cache?} (default: @code{#t})
+Whether to automatically cache the generated debootstrap archive.
+@item @code{clean-cache} (default: @code{14})
+Discard the cache after this amount of days. Use @code{#f} to never
+clear the cache.
+@item @code{partition-style} (default: @code{'msdos})
+The type of partition to create. When set, it must be one of
+@code{'msdos}, @code{'none} or a string.
+@item @code{partition-alignment} (default: @code{2048})
+Alignment of the partition in sectors.
+@end table
+@end deftp

+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} debootstrap-variant
+This is a helper procedure that creates a @code{ganeti-os-variant} record. It
+takes two parameters: a name and a @code{debootstrap-configuration} object.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} debootstrap-os
+This is a helper procedure that creates a @code{ganeti-os} record. It takes
+a list of variants created with @code{debootstrap-variant}.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} guix-variant
+This is a helper procedure that creates a @code{ganeti-os-variant} record for
+use with the Guix OS provider. It takes a name and a G-expression that returns
+a ``file-like'' (@pxref{G-Expressions, file-like objects}) object containing a
+Guix System configuration.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} guix-os
+This is a helper procedure that creates a @code{ganeti-os} record. It
+takes a list of variants produced by @code{guix-variant}.
+@end deffn
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-debootstrap-variants
+This is a convenience variable to make the debootstrap provider work
+``out of the box'' without users having to declare variants manually. It
+contains a single debootstrap variant with the default configuration:
+
+@lisp
+(list (debootstrap-variant
+ "default"
+ (debootstrap-configuration))))
+@end lisp
+@end defvr
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-guix-variants
+This is a convenience variable to make the Guix OS provider work without
+additional configuration. It creates a virtual machine that has an SSH
+server, a serial console, and authorizes the Ganeti hosts SSH keys.
+
+@lisp
+(list (guix-variant
+ "default"
+ (file-append ganeti-instance-guix
+ "/share/doc/ganeti-instance-guix/examples/dynamic.scm"))))
+@end lisp
+@end defvr
+
+Users can implement support for OS providers unbeknownst to Guix by extending
+the @code{ganeti-os} and @code{ganeti-os-variant} records appropriately.
+For example:
+
+@lisp
+(ganeti-os
+ (name "custom")
+ (extension ".conf")
+ (variants
+ (list (ganeti-os-variant
+ (name "foo")
+ (configuration (plain-file "bar" "this is fine"))))))
+@end lisp
+
+That creates @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-custom/variants/foo.conf} which points
+to a file in the store with contents @code{this is fine}. It also creates
+@file{/etc/ganeti/instance-custom/variants/variants.list} with contents @code{foo}.
+
+Obviously this may not work for all OS providers out there. If you find the
+interface limiting, please reach out to @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org}.
+
+The rest of this section documents the various services that are included by
+@code{ganeti-service-type}.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} ganeti-noded-service-type

+that the daemon will handle. Connections above this count are accepted, but
+no responses will be sent until enough connections have closed.
+
+@item @code{ssl?} (default: @code{#t})
+Whether to use SSL/TLS to encrypt network communications. The certificate
+is automatically provisioned by the cluster and can be rotated with

+@defvr {Scheme Variable} ganeti-watcher-service-type
+@command{ganeti-watcher} is a script designed to run periodically and ensure
+the health of a cluster. It will automatically restart instances that have
+stopped without Ganetis consent, and repairs DRBD links in case a node has
+rebooted. It also archives old cluster jobs and restarts Ganeti daemons
+that are not running. If the cluster parameter @code{ensure_node_health}
+is set, the watcher will also shutdown instances and DRBD devices if the
+node it is running on is declared offline by known master candidates.
+
+It can be paused on all nodes with @command{gnt-cluster watcher pause}.

+@defvr {Scheme Variable} ganeti-cleaner-service-type
+@command{ganeti-cleaner} is a script designed to run periodically and remove
+old files from the cluster. This service type controls two @dfn{cron jobs}:
+one intended for the master node that permanently purges old cluster jobs,
+and one intended for every node that removes expired X509 certificates, keys,
+and outdated @command{ganeti-watcher} information. Like all Ganeti services,
+it is safe to include even on non-master nodes as it will disable itself as
+necessary.
+
+It takes a @code{ganeti-cleaner-configuration} object.
