Arcane Mage - Automated Fluxnode ArcaneOS Installation

Introduction

Arcane Mage is a suite of tools designed to ease the installation (and configuration) burden of installing a Fluxnode.

The following is available via the GUI, or CLI:

• Fully automated A to Z Proxmox installs, including Secure Boot key enrollment.
• Mutlicast config broadcast on LANs - fully automated installs, except Secure Boot Key enrollemnt.
• USB stick creation for plug and play automated installs on bare metal

Configuration Options

See the examples directory for sample configurations.

Any option can be easily set via a yaml configuration file, for example, for Proxmox, start on VM creation, rate limits, etc.

It can also reboot direct into systemd-boot for systems that allow easy enrollment of keys (usually bare metal systems)

Installation

Install uv - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

To use the default config file fluxnodes.yaml in the directory you are in:

uvx --with arcane_mage python -m arcane_mage

Run the following for help:

uvx -m arcane-mage --help

Hypervisor Setup - Proxmox Automation

In order to use Arcane Mage with Proxmox, the following needs to be set up on your hypervisor:

• A user for the API
• An API token (strongly recommended)
• Nginx reverse proxy (strongly recommended)

To set up your Proxmox Instance behind an Nginx reverse proxy, follow these instructions, it doesn't take much effort:

If you don't reverse proxy the api, you can run into connection issues.

To set up your user, go to "Datacenter" on the Proxmox GUI and add a user:

Next, add an api token for your user:

Finally, give BOTH your user and api token PVEAdmin permissions:

You're now good to run Arcane Mage.
