.. _faq: 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: https://github.com/Mirantis/solar-resources
