Mesh

This Role should be used only when deploying multiple Carbonio Mesh servers in the Carbonio infrastructure and only for additional Nodes (the Mesh and Directory role should be used on the first Node on which a Carbonio Mesh server is deployed).

Install Packages

Ubuntu

# apt install service-discover-server

RHEL

# dnf install service-discover-server

Bootstrap Carbonio

Execute:

# carbonio-bootstrap

The bootstrap command will execute a number of tasks and will set up the node. At the end, you will be prompted with a menu and, if you already configured all, you only need to click y for confirmation.

On RHEL 9 only, restart the node to ensure that Carbonio service management come under the control of systemd:

# reboot

Set up Carbonio Mesh

Carbonio Mesh will install as an agent, that connects and communicates with the server. The configuration for the agent is created by launching command

# service-discover setup-wizard

This command will:

• ask for the IP address and netmask of the current Node

• ask for the Carbonio Mesh secret, which is stored in file /var/lib/service-discover/password on the Directory Leader Node (i.e., the node on which the Mesh server is installed)

  In case the password is lost or the credential file becomes corrupted and unusable, you can reset them using the procedure detailed in section Carbonio Mesh Credentials.

Pending setups

To complete Carbonio Mesh installation, run

# pending-setups -a

Hint

The secret is stored in file /var/lib/service-discover/password, which is accessible only by the root user.

The command will ask for the password stored in the /var/lib/service-discover/password on the Directory Leader Node (i.e., the node on which the Mesh server is installed).
