- 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',
- 'test',
- 'backbone',
- 'service',
- },
- },
- The strings to display in the web interface are configured per language in the
- ``i18n/en.po``, ``i18n/de.po``, etc. files of the site repository using message IDs like
- ``gluon-web-node-role:role:node`` and ``gluon-web-node-role:role:backbone``.
- 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-web-node-role`` to your ``site.mk``.
- 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.
