Requirements

To be able to install a swarm one needs a global cloud provider, this repository is pre-configured to use Linode's nano servers placed in 11 different regions of the world.

To be installed on the orchestration terminal:

• GNU make
• ansible
• zenroom
• linode-cli

To be installed on each node in the swarm:

• zenroom
• restroom-mw
• nodejs v16
• supervisord

When you clone this repository you are into the orchestration terminal.

Type make for an overview of orchestration commands.

Usage:
  make <target>

General
  help             Display this help.
  regions          list available regions
  ssh-keygen       generate a dedicated ssh keypair here
  ssh-cleanup      clean all fingerprints from known hosts

Node lifecycle
  list             list running nodes (list-ips for IPv4 only)
  all-up           create 11 active nodes, one for each linode region
  teardown         destroy all active nodes
  one-up           create 1 active node in REGION (eu-central is default)

Image operations
  image-init       setup golden image development on linode
  image-build      build the zenswarm golden image on linode
  image-delete     delete the zenswarm golden image on linode

App management
  deploy           deploy the zencode contracts on all available nodes
  announce         announce all nodes to the tracker endpoint
  ssh              log into a node in REGION via ssh (eu-central is default)
  uptime           show uptime of all running nodes
  reboot           reboot all running nodes

Quick Start

1. make image-init will configure packer to build a zenswarm image
2. make image-build will build a zenswarm golden image on linode
3. make one-up will summon a single test node (default eu-central)
4. make ssh to ssh into a single node (default eu-central)
5. make teardown will destroy all nodes running
6. make all-up will summon a swarm of nodes in different regions
7. Place your zencode contracts in roles/install.zip
8. make deploy will deploy the zencode contracts on all servers
9. make uptime will show the uptime and memory of all servers

Zencode contracts can be uploaded in the form of a .ZIP file as provided by Apiroom.

Swarm Management

Use make list to have a list of active nodes and make ssh to login into one of them individually, would there be some debugging need.

The use of make uptime should be enough to see the usage of all nodes, we are working to equip the swarm with more metrics and a full report of operations.
