5. Running the LOCKSS System
The commands in this section are all run as the lockss user 1 in the lockss user's lockss-installer directory.
5.1. Starting the LOCKSS System
Run scripts/start-lockss. This script will call in turn:
scripts/generate-lockss: This script takes your configuration data and turns it into a set of configuration files containing the right values.
scripts/assemble-lockss: This script puts the configuration files and puts them in the right places, and ensures that all storage volumes are ready for use (creating them if necessary).
scripts/deploy-lockss: This script deploys your LOCKSS stack by invoking Kubernetes.
The start-lockss accepts some options:
--update(-u)Force the system to check for newer container images of the system's components (LOCKSS services, embedded databases, embedded Web replay engines...) before deploying the system to Kubernetes.
--wait(-w)After deploying the system to Kubernetes and waiting for the system's containers to come up, additionally wait for an internal signal from the system that the system's components are fully initialized. (Currently this internal signal comes from the poller service.)
5.2. Shutting down the LOCKSS System
Run scripts/stop-lockss.
5.3. Restarting a Running LOCKSS System
Run scripts/restart-lockss.
The restart-lockss accepts the same options as start-lockss.
5.4. Removing a Configured LOCKSS System
To remove all configurations, volumes and networks configured by the LOCKSS system in Kubernetes, run scripts/uninstall-lockss. This will not remove files from the persistent store.
