Test Nodes

These scripts can deploy test nodes (Gluon) and test clients (connected to nodes).

Usage

Deploy a node

A node is always a VM running Gluon.

deploy-node.py: deploy a node on a given gateway in a given segment.

Example:

deploy-node.py -s 32 -g gw09n03

Deploys a new node in Segment 32 connected to gateway 9n3.

Deploy a client

A client is a Container running Debian.

1. Run mkclientconfig.py
2. Find the desired line in the output.
3. Execute the line.

e.g.

./deploy-client.sh ffs-client-s29gw09n03 2993

for a Client in Segment 29, connected to gateway 9n3.

Add a new gateway or new segments for gateway

When a new gateway is added or a gateway supports a new segment, mknodeconfig.py must be adjusted. It will generate new peer files, which need to be pushed to peers-ffs.

Installation
