Configuring public and private nodes

Public node is accessible from any address.

Private node is accessible from the configured addresses only. Here are options that are used to configure private nodes:

• --private-node - an option to make node private
• --upload-to - allow uploading to the specified node
• --download-from - allow downloading from the specified node
• --monitor-node-ip - allow to access HTTP interface from the specified address

Examples

We'll use the following nodes in examples:

• source node: 192.168.1.2:7764
• support node 1: 192.168.101:8640
• support node 2: 192.168.102:8640

Some required options are missed in example - we only demonstrate options related to public/private node configuration here.

Public source node

Running the source node:

# the node is public if no --private-node option is specified
start-engine --stream-source-node

Public source node and two public support nodes

Running the source node:

start-engine --stream-source-node \
    --upload-to "192.168.1.101:8640" \
    --upload-to "192.168.1.102:8640"

Running support nodes:

start-engine --stream-support-node --download-from "192.168.1.2:7764"

Private source node and two public support nodes

Running the source node:

start-engine --stream-source-node \
    --private-node 1 \
    --upload-to "192.168.1.101:8640" \
    --upload-to "192.168.1.102:8640"

Running support nodes:

start-engine --stream-support-node --download-from "192.168.1.2:7764"
