Simple instructions for private peer cluster setup #297

Open lausycampari opened 5 years ago

lausycampari commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to figure out how to setup a private cluster of yacy peers. The settings are a little confusing. How could I go about setting up 2 yacy instances on different machines so that they form a private cluster? So then the 2 computers could shared crawler jobs, search requests, etc. just like in the default global setup, but with just these private instances.

I tried editing the yacy.network.webportal.unit file whitelist to include localhost, and the public IP of 2 the computers, but that had no effect. I'm clearly missing some setting where I can specificy a list of IPs that should constitute the cluster.

Please help, Thanks

i am also looking for this, we a have a city-local peer to peer wireless network with 10.12.x.x IPs and I would like to introduce a search machine for this, but using multiple yacy servers. Can we do a custom network definition or reuse webportal but toghether with peers?
