4s-boss
— An
administration and store discovery daemon for 4store

4s-boss
can be run on 4store storage nodes
to provide a store discovery mechanism for a 4store cluster (as an
alternative to Avahi/DNS-SD).
It also provides a backend to enable store admin operations to be performed through the the 4s-admin(1) utility.
It should be started on all storage nodes of a cluster, and will run as a daemon listening on port 6733 by default.
Error and informational output is sent to /var/log/syslog when run as a daemon, and to stderr when run in the foreground.
Options for 4s-boss
in
/etc/4store.conf should all be within the [4s-boss]
section, or will be ignored.
Other options in the [4s-boss] section of the configuration file
are used to set the nodes of a cluster, and to set how
4s-boss
is used for store discovery. See
4store.conf(5) for details.
The 4s-boss
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
Start 4s-boss in the foreground on port 9000
$ 4s-boss --no-daemonize --port
9000
Start 4s-boss as a daemon on the default port (6733)
$ 4s-boss

4s-boss
should never be run as root. It
should be started as any user that has read access to
/var/lib/4store, and ideally the same user that
would run any 4s-backend processes.
The port 4s-boss
runs on should only be
accessible from trusted hosts, and appropriate firewall restrictions put in
place. This is to prevent untrusted users/hosts from sending store
deletion/stop/start requests .
