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#
# apt install service-discover-server
# 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 is required to allow communication between Carbonio and its components. The configuration is interactively generated by command
# service-discover setup-wizard
This command will:
ask for the IP address and netmask
-
ask for the Carbonio Mesh secret, which is used for setups, management, and to access the administration GUI. See section Carbonio Mesh Administration Interface for more information.
This password will be denoted as MESH_SECRET throughout the documentation.
Hint
We suggest to use a robust password which is at least 16 characters long, including at least one of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, special characters and store it in a password manager.
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.
store the setup in file
/etc/zextras/service-discover/cluster-credentials.tar.gpg
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.
