Adding a Kaleidoscope node
This guide will teach you how to add a new Kaleidoscope node to your cloud.
The new node will be on a different machine (or container) than the rest of the entities, since if the are on localhost no further steps need to be made. (default configs will work out-of-the box)
Prerequisites
- Your cloud's AuthKeys : Read this to learn how to generate new AuthKeys
- Phoesion Glow Kaleidoscope installed and AuthKeys configured.
- A new machine that we want to setup with Phoesion Glow Kaleidoscope.
Install packages
Install the Phoesion Glow Kaleidoscope package on the new machine
Entity Configurator
Configurator is a tool that is installed with each entity to help you apply configurations. (basically editing the configs.json file)
Start the configurator :
Apply the configurations
The configurator will launch and try to detected the configuration file.
Leave Kaleidoscope Host entry blank and press enter.
Note
Using auto for host will enable the auto-discovery services. This will use Phoesion Discovery Services and LAN Discovery (using broadcasts) to find each other.
You can specify the Kaleidoscope host directly by setting its ip or hostname. *(eg. ip like xxx.xxx.xxx.xx or servicebus-1.foompany.com)
You can also specify multiple ip/host using commas to separate them (including auto) like so localhost,servicebus-1.foompany.com,192.168.1,auto
Warning
Kaleidoscope starts by default on port 15010 so make sure your other machines can reach the Kaleidoscope machine on this port.
Warning
Kaleidoscope Clustering starts by default on port 15011 so make sure your other Kaleidoscopes can reach this machine on this port.
Paste your AuthKey for Kaleidoscope and press enter.
Your configurations should now have been updated.
Restart your Kaleidoscope service to apply the new configurations
