💖 git-annex-extendcluster(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the git-annex-extendcluster page, straight out of the General Commands Manual 🎀 this is the one where you give your cluster a whole extra gateway, and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-extendcluster — add an additional gateway to a cluster 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git-annex extendcluster gateway clustername

like. two args. that's it. slay.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this command is how you configure a repository to serve as an additional gateway to a cluster. and where do you run it? in that repository. yes, that one. the one you're turning into a gateway. 🦋

the repository you run this in should already have a remote that is a gateway to the cluster. the gateway parameter is the name of that remote. the clustername parameter is the name of the cluster. two names, two jobs, no cap. 💅

okay so what's next after you run this? the next step is to configure any additional cluster nodes that this gateway serves to the cluster, and then run git-annex-updatecluster. if you wanna know the details about configuring nodes, go read the documentation of that command — it's all in there, i'm not gonna pretend otherwise. 📖✨

and here's the part that lowkey trips people up: after running this command in the new gateway repository, it typically also needs to be run in the other gateway repositories as well, after adding the new gateway repository as a remote. so yes, you're going back around the group chat and telling everybody. 🔁💖
