P2P/test

This directory contains scripts designed to help manage running tests of factomd across a cluster of cloud servers.

It is organized into three classes of scripts and some support files

Bringing up a new cluster, EZ mode

1. Add the machines to followers.conf, and the leader to leader.conf
2. Run all_config.sh to do initial configuration
3. Run all_update.sh to install factomd and the scripts
4. Run test_start.sh to start the tests. (Note: as of this writing this script doesn't work quite right and you have to hit control-c (at least on the mac) after it starts each machine.

Config Files

Leader.conf and Follower.conf are both lists of machines in the standard format.
Each machine has its own line. Generally there should be one leader and multiple followers.

Standard Format for describing machines.

Wherever one needs to indicate a machine, whether as a parameter to a script or in a configuration file, the format used is "user@server.address.or.IP". For example: "example@factom.com". (Locally I have aliases setup in my .ssh config so you will see things like "m2p2pa" which get resolved to the "user@machine" format.

EZ Mode Scripts

(run these locally)

all_config.sh - resets all of the servers for testing. ** Note** this resets the .factom and deletes your database!

all_update.sh - builds and pushes the latest version of factomd, and these scripts to the nodes.

test_start.sh - Starts testing on all the nodes (control-c between each node to continue)

test_stop.sh - Stops the tests on all nodes.

(on remote nodes)

r - this is a script that just tail -f on runlog.txt

Utility Scripts

config_remote_test_box.sh takes as a parameter a remote machine. This is in the "standard format" descirbed below. This is for setting up a single machine that has just been deployed. It copies over auth_keys (you need to have the FactomInc repo in your gopath) and deletes the .factom folder and recreates it, uloading factomd.conf into the right places.

copy_files_to_test_box.sh - stops factomd, copyies the local factom d (built by build_Factomd.sh) to the box, copies the leader, follower stop and run_new_header scripts.

build_factomd.sh - builds a local copy of factom (cross compiles to linux) to deploy to the nodes.
