Deployment Platform/Internet

Background

This is one of possible deployment scenarios of Deployment Platform. This page is intended to describe procedures for end users connected to the Internet.

Targeting environment

The standard targeting environment assumes:

• End users have reliable Internet connectivity all time.
• Server is located in the Internet and has singular access point.

Server side

For now, there are the following Sugar Network servers publicly available from the Internet:

• node-devel.sugarlabs.org
  Development server which does not contain important data and is free for any experiments (administrative privileges for anonymous users);

• node-testing.sugarlabs.org
  Recent stable release with regular data import from the production server; is still free for any experiments;

• node.sugarlabs.org
  Production server.

Client side

Configuration

Point clients to one of existing Sugar Network servers by populating /etc/sweets.conf configuration file with the following options:

[client]
api-url = SERVER-API-URL-HERE

By default, clients look for production server.

Run Sugar Network clients

Follow the Try it install instructions to setup Sugar Network client.

While working, Sugar Network client logs can be found ~/.sugar/default/logs/sugar-network-client file. Logging verbosity level depends on global Sugar setting.
