Custom Services
CORE supports custom developed services by way of dynamically loading user created python files. Custom services should be placed within the path defined by custom_services_dir in the CORE configuration file. This path cannot end in /services.
Follow these steps to add your own services:
-
Modify the Example Service File to do what you want. It could generate config/script files, mount per-node directories, start processes/scripts, etc. sample.py is a Python file that defines one or more classes to be imported. You can create multiple Python files that will be imported. Add any new filenames to the init.py file.
-
Put these files in a directory such as /home/username/.core/myservices Note that the last component of this directory name myservices should not be named something like services which conflicts with an existing Python name (the syntax 'from myservices import *' is used).
-
Add a custom_services_dir = /home/username/.core/myservices entry to the /etc/core/core.conf file.
-
Restart the CORE daemon (core-daemon). Any import errors (Python syntax) should be displayed in the /var/log/core-daemon.log log file (or on screen).
-
Start using your custom service on your nodes. You can create a new node type that uses your service, or change the default services for an existing node type, or change individual nodes.
