Set Up a Bastion Server

To create a cluster, you first need a Genvid bastion server running. You can set up and manage a bastion server using the genvid-bastion script. The following command will set up one with the minimal services required.

From your shell, run:

genvid-bastion install --bastionid mybastion --checkmodules --update-global-tfvars --loadconfig
--bastionid mybastion
A unique identifier for your bastion. It must:
  • Be between 3 and 32 characters.
  • Only contain lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens.
  • Start with a letter.
--checkmodules
Use this option to install new modules if none exist or update the ones already present.
--update-global-tfvars
Use this option to update the global Terraform variables.
--loadconfig
Use this option to load the jobs and logs.
