✨ NAME ✨

ganeti-luxid — the Ganeti query daemon 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ganeti-luxid [-f] [-d] [--syslog] [--no-user-checks] [--no-voting
--yes-do-it]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so ganeti-luxid is a daemon, and bestie, it's kind of a big deal. It answers all the queries about the configuration and the current live state of a Ganeti cluster. And that's not even all — it's also the authoritative daemon for the Ganeti job queue 👑. Jobs get submitted through this daemon, and it schedules them and starts them. main character energy fr.

For testing purposes, you can give it the -f option and the program won't detach from the running terminal. it just stays right there with you 🫶.

Want debug-level messages? Activate them by giving the -d option. slay.

Logging to syslog instead of its own log file? Enable that by passing in the --syslog option ✨.

The ganeti-luxid daemon listens on a Unix socket at /var/run/ganeti/socket/ganeti-query, and on that socket it exports a Luxi endpoint supporting the full set of commands. literally the whole set, no cap.

The daemon will refuse to start if the user and group don't match the one defined at build time 😭 — but you can override that behaviour with the --no-user-checks option.

Also it will refuse to start if it can't verify that the majority of cluster nodes believes it's running on the master node. To allow failover in a two-node cluster you can override this with the --no-voting option. but — and hear me out — since this is dangerous, you have to give the --yes-do-it option as well. both. together. it's giving "are you sure bestie" 💀.

Only queries which don't require locks can be handled by the luxi daemon, which might lead to slightly outdated results in some cases. not me getting stale data 🙈

The config is reloaded from disk automatically when it changes, with a rate limit of once per second. so like, chill, one per second ⏱️.
