Adding a Host to the Network
This document guides an admin through adding a single host to the network. Keep in mind that the steps described here must be done for each host the user wishes to add.
Step 1: Choose Hostname
The user will need to provide you with a name for their host. The name should conform to the following rules:
-
It should only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
-
It should begin with a letter.
-
It should end with a letter or number.
Step 2: Create a bootstrap.json File
To create a bootstrap.json file for the new host, the admin should perform the
following command from their own host:
isle hosts create --hostname <name> >bootstrap.json
The resulting bootstrap.json file should be treated as a secret file and
shared only with the user it was generated for. The bootstrap.json file should
not be re-used between hosts.
The user can now proceed with calling isle network join, as described in the
Getting Started document.
