Replication Setup

When a storage node is bootstrapped, an SSH key is created for the webserver owner (www-data on Debian and Ubuntu derivatives, lighttpd on Gentoo) in its home directory (/var/www) and the public key component is sent via POST to the panel API for registration in the ssh_keys table.

All collected ssh_keys are compiled and sent to each server in a network, so communication between servers is automatically authenticated.

Transfer key from Master to Slave(s)

1. Login to your control panel
2. Browse to the networks page
3. Click the Redeploy Keys icon for your network

Each server will connect to the panel to retrieve and write a new authorized_keys file.
