Worker

An Worker is a Linux machine identified by its IP address and assigned labels as specified in the worker.json file.

Rules for Worker

1. SSH Accessibility

   • Workers must be accessible over SSH for Maand to function.

2. Required Tools

   • Each worker must have the following installed:
     • make: For running job Makefiles.
     • rsync: For file synchronization.

3. Bucket

   • An worker can belong to multiple buckets.
   • Buckets are logical groupings of jobs, represented by separate directories.
   • /opt/worker/<bucket_id> should have all bucket's folder when a worker belongs to multiple buckets.

4. Linux Compatibility

   • Workers must run a Linux or Linux-like operating system.

5. Non-Interactive Command Execution

   • The worker's user account must support running commands in a non-interactive manner.

6. Single User and Key Access

   • Maand requires a single user and private key for SSH access to all workers.
   • The same key is used to authenticate across all workers.

These rules ensure uniformity and reliability when managing agents and executing jobs in Maand.
