Roles
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
It is possible to define a set of roles you want to distinguish at backend side. One node can own one
|
|
role which it will announce via alfred inside the mesh. This will make it easier to differentiate
|
|
nodes when parsing alfred data. E.g to count only **normal** nodes and not the gateways
|
|
or servers (nodemap). A lot of things are possible.
|
|
|
|
For this the section ``roles`` in ``site.conf`` is needed::
|
|
|
|
roles = {
|
|
default = 'node',
|
|
list = {
|
|
node = 'Normal Node',
|
|
test = 'Test Node',
|
|
backbone = 'Backbone Node',
|
|
service = 'Service Node',
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
The value of ``default`` is the role every node will initially own. This value should be part of ``list`` as well.
|
|
If you want node owners to change the defined roles via config-mode you can add the package
|
|
``gluon-luci-node-role`` to your ``site.mk``. Then, you can select one of the defined roles from a dropdown list
|
|
where the right-handed value is the one which is displayed and the left-handed key the one which is configured into
|
|
the system.
|
|
|
|
The role is saved in ``gluon-node-info.system.role``. To change the role using command line do::
|
|
|
|
uci set gluon-node-info.system.role="$ROLE"
|
|
uci commit
|
|
|
|
Please replace ``$ROLE`` by the role you want the node to own.
