This /bin/sh automates the process of joining the idling.host platform. It prepares your system and makes the computing power available on our market. You can watch the metrics and stop / start the computing always on panel.idling.host

Outlook: In the future, you can also track e.g. how much money you've earned and the CO2 emissions you've saved.

You need to create an account for our platform. It's possible to create an account during script execution or on our website panel.idling.host. Pro mode: Use -m [email protected] during script execution and confirm the welcome mail in your mailbox

Every server needs to be verified and assigned to your account by a token. You can create a token by adding your servername within the suppliers area. Pro mode: Use -t token during script execution

This script is installing and configuring the puppet-agent from Puppetlabs. The agent is used to create your clients certificate and let it sign from our certificate authority. Your node is assigned to your account, secured by an additional certificate signing request (CSR) based on an unique JWT.

important: if your node is already puppet for another reason, please contact our support first.

The choria go binary connects your node to our broker, to receive tasks and orchestrate the workloads. The communication is fully secured by TLS, including user authentication. We provision your node and make the following tasks available for our broker / backend:

• facts (get system information)
• docker swarm: join, leave

The choria server is only pulling the information from our broker and pushes the answer / output of the task. You can always stop / remove the service and disable our access to the mention functions:

service choria stop

apt-get remove choria

Ilding host is using Docker to bring our customers workloads to your node. This script will install and configure Docker, to work with our Docker Swarm. Your node will act as Docker worker and will get computing jobs, managed by our Swarm manager nodes. It will also create an encrypted network, to communicate with other Swarm nodes.

Additional Kubernetes support will follow soon. Stay tuned.

Our system is collecting metrics from your system and store them on our Prometheus cluster. We need those metrics, to bring computing tasks to your system, if it's safe. The metrics are also needed to calculate your contribution to our platform. You'll be able to monitor those metrics in our panel.idling.host. Yay, free monitoring.

For a functional setup, the following protocols and connections should be allowed to your node(s).

This includes incoming packets / answers for established connections.
