Task #7205

Updated by Nico Schottelius about 5 years ago

In theory it should "just" work, let's see what is necessary. 

 We need: 

 * ungleich-otp for authentication 
 * etcd for storing configurations and run time data 

 h2. The story / handbook 

 * My objective is to use ucloud for scheduling VMs 
 * I do need some kind of authentication system, ucloud uses one time passwords based on RFCXXXX 
 ** One reference implementation for that is uotp, so we install uotp first 
 * I need some kind of database for storing information in 
 ** ucloud chose etcd 
 ** So I need to install etcd first 

 h2. Arch Linux specific 

 * Installing etcd via AUR 
 ** yaourt -S etcd 

 h2. ucloud-setup 

 * If I don't trust shell scripts, ucloud-setup is a bit tricky 
 * Maybe we need to describe the shell script more in detail / on the website2 


 h2. Required follow ups 

 * It's nice that all components are depending on etcd only, however ungleich-otp also depends on postgresql 
 ** We should shortly rewrite the backend of ungleich-otp to be etcd, too 
 * We should probably have some kind of check for each step, f.i. etcd running is missing
