v0.1 - An actual release 🥾

When I started working on Booty, one of my long term goals was to allow machines to boot up and be put in a "holding pattern" if they weren't recognized. Since adding this, I think it's fitting to actually cut a release. So for this release, I'll just highlight the main function/goals of Booty:

• PXE boot into the latest Flatcar-Linux
• MAC address based hostnames
• Automatic conversion of Container Linux Config to Ignition JSON
• JSON "Hardware Database" (right now just a MAC-to-hostname mapping)
• Automatic updates retrieved from Flatcar-Linux
• Automatic drain/reboot of nodes (in conjunction with Kured)
• Web UI to add/edit/remove hosts
• Unrecognized MAC addresses go into the brig (boot loop till the MAC is registered)

Known Issues

• There is currently no way to "delete" an "Unknown Host" -- this should be acceptable since unknown hosts will simply boot-loop
• For the ARP lookup to work, Booty now requires externalTrafficPolicy: Local added to the Service (when run in Kubernetes)
• Since it is now "stateful", when run in Kubernetes, Booty mounts a PVC to store the hardware database.

🥾 Happy Booting! 🥾
