FAQ
===
.. _faq_hardcoded_params:
Why nodes/transports have hardcoded keys, ips and other inputs ?
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is temporary situation, we will improve it in near future.
.. _faq_different_ssh_keys:
I want to use different SSH keys
--------------------------------
Just update resource for example::
solar resource update ssh_transport1 '{"key": "/path/to/some/key"}'
I want to use passwords not keys
--------------------------------
Just update resource::
solar resource update rsync1 '{"password": "vagrant", "key": null}'
.. note::
You need to change it for all transport resources (ssh and rsync by default).
How can I run solar worker ?
-----------------------------------
- If you use `vagrant` then you can just `sudo start solar-worker`
as `vagrant` user.
How can I configure solar ?
---------------------------
There are several places where we search for config values:
1. `.config` file in CWD or in path from `SOLAR_CONFIG` env variable
2. if env `SOLAR_CONFIG_OVERRIDE` contains valid path then it override
previous values
3. `.config.override` in CWD
4. You can also set upper-cased env variable which matches one of those in
config
.. _faq_what_database:
What database can I use with solar ?
------------------------------------
By default for simplicity we use `sqlite`. On our vagrant environment we use
single node `riak`.
You can also use multiple nodes `riak`, with some strong consistent buckets.
Where can I find solar examples ?
---------------------------------
Example resources, composer templates and examples itself are located:
