Access and Control
The Flatsat can be accessed using SSH. Please email [email protected] for more details.
The local machine is a Debian based machine connected to the internet and to the Flatsat. This machine facilitates access to all the Crypto Engines.
From the local machine terminal, you can use SSH to directly connect to a Crypto Engine. The following command will connect to the Crypto Engine 2 via SSH.
ssh ce2
sftp can be used to transfer files. Other common utilities are installed on the local computer as well.Here is an example how to upload a file using
sftp:sftp -i .ssh/id_rsa -P [port] user@server_ip
Ansible is installed on the local machine. The
~/ansible/ directory contains the inventory and configuration files to quickly run playbooks and commands across all the Crypto Engines. For example, this command will run
hostname on all Crypto Engines:~/ansible $ ansible crypto_engines -a "hostname"
This command will run
hostname just on Crypto Engine 0 (ce0)~/ansible $ ansible ce0 -a "hostname"
The playbook
copy.yml can be used to upload files to all Crypto Engines~/ansible $ ansible-playbook copy.yml -e "src=~/test3"
The target
targets parameter can be used to specify a subset of hosts. The dest can be used to specify a remote path and name.~/ansible $ ansible-playbook copy.yml -e "targets=ce2,ce3 src=~/test3"
Please refer to the Ansible documentation for more information. The Cryptosat team will be happy to assist you in creating Ansible playbooks.
