🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

myproxy-replicate Replicates data.

no bc that's literally the whole vibe. she replicates.

here's the deeper lore tho: this utility reads a MyProxy repository that you point her at, and sends any new or changed data over to a slave MyProxy server. and where do the slave servers come from, you ask? they're specified in the myproxy-server.config(5) file. iykyk πŸ‘‘

and okay, important thing: she has to run on some kind of specified interval to keep the slave repositories semi current with the Master repository. semi. not fully. that's the deal, no cap. the best way to do this is with cron, or some similar mechanism. set it and forget it, bestie πŸŽ€


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -v, -verbose β€” enables verbose debugging output to the terminal. copious amounts of text. she will NOT stop talking and we love that for her πŸ’¬
  • -h, -help β€” displays command usage text and then exits. she's helpful AND she knows when to leave πŸšͺ✨
  • -u, -usage β€” displays command usage text and exits. yeah it's the same energy as -h, she just has two ways to say it. main character gets options πŸ’…
  • -r dir, -storage dir β€” specifies the location of the credential storage directory.
⚠️ bestie listen: the directory must be accessible only by the user running the myproxy-server process, for security reasons. that is not a suggestion. do not share that folder. protect her πŸš«πŸ”’

default: /var/lib/myproxy or /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxyA

  • -c file, -config file β€” specifies the location of the myproxy-server configuration file.

default: /etc/myproxy-server.config or $GLOBUS_LOCA-TION/etc/myproxy-server.config
