Stacki - The World's Fastest Linux Provisioning Tool

So far... the documentation is poor and the installer does nothing at all. Nothing. So I'm putting this one as a fail. Their own ISO does not boot. Their "mount and install from CentOS" doesn't run. It just silently does ... nothing.
I could have built out a CentOS infrastructure while trying to get their installer to run.
-
@scottalanmiller maybe download the ISO again?
-
So just because I do hate giving up, I set it up and kicked off a boot, waited till it froze and went to bed. I let it run a few hours idle before going to bed and nothing.
Came back this afternoon and... the installer was ready to go! WTF?
Anyway, moving forward with this test.
-
And the front end server is installed. Now to figure it out....

So essentially you could have built a whole CentOS farm by hand in the time it took the installer to come up.

That is definitely true. Considering that the Scale HC3 can take a template and build up a new server in round about five to ten seconds, I could have had a pretty major system well underway during the installation process here.

It's quick once everything is completed.....
Like "hey guys the empire state building went up fast" No no... you finished it yesterday....
-
@scottalanmiller Remember not all of us have a Scale HC3 just laying around =P

But you should!

@scottalanmiller I am assuming that you are using Stacki 3, right? The CentOS 7 one?

Mine went beyond there, always, to a blinking cursor.

Rebooted. Epic Failure.....

I have it installed for a second time. The installation video is incorrect and it does not ask the questions that they say during the install. I did it twice because I thought that I had missed something. Nope, just that their documentation isn't right. So it drops you to a command prompt without any indication if you did it correctly or not or where to go next.
