Gluon Status Scripts for Servers

These scripts are replacements for the respondd and gluon-alfred packages in Gluon that can be used on servers (like gateways) to broadcast the information needed to for example display the name of the server on node maps.

Dependencies

• lsb_release
• ethtool
• python3 (>= 3.3)
• If using alfred: alfred binary in PATH

Setup

Alfred

Add announce.sh to your cronjobs, and let it run every minute, e.g.

PATH=/opt/alfred/:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:$PATH /opt/mesh-announce/announce.sh

Respondd

Assuming you are using systemd, copy the respondd.service file to /etc/systemd/system/, and adapt the path to your checkout of the repository in the line starting with ExecStart=.

Afterwards, execute these commands:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start respondd
# autostart on boot
systemctl enable respondd
