⚠️ This Documentation only applies to Shards to be added to Ryzom network. ⚠️

So no require Database and some ports must be opened to Ryzom Servers.

Up a fully independent shard can probably be done using https://wiki.ryzom.dev/ doc

Requirements to install a shard (for a comfortable use):

Choose a name for the shard (Arma/Atys, Yubo, Gingo, Rendor are already used). We call it on this doc the SHARDNAME. Use same name for minion are a good idea ;)
Have a hardware with at least 8 cores with +3Ghz and 16Go of ram
Have at least 100Go of disk space (no matter SSD or not)
Have a domain name
- ⚠️ Please check the file /etc/hosts. The domain name must be linked only to outgoing address (and not 127.0.1.1). Like :
```
37.187.139.90 gingo.ryzom.com gingo
```

1 STEP 1 : Install Salt Minion
2 STEP 2 : Configure the Minion
3 STEP 3 : Run salt init
4 STEP 4 : Start Ribs
5 STEP 5 : Use Ribs to complete Shard Setup

STEP 1 : Install Salt Minion

run as root:

# Ensure keyrings dir exists
mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
# Download public key
curl -fsSL https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/api/security/keypair/SaltProjectKey/public | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/salt-archive-keyring.pgp
# Create apt repo target configuration
curl -fsSL https://github.com/saltstack/salt-install-guide/releases/latest/download/salt.sources | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.sources
apt install salt-minion
echo "master: cloud.ryzom.com" > /etc/salt/minion

Edit /etc/salt/minion_id and change the name of Minion to SHARDNAME
Restart the service:

systemctl restart salt-minion

On ports 4505 and 4506 to cloud.ryzom.com server

On cloud.ryzom.com server, as root:

salt-key -A
# If all works correctly, You will show you minion and can accept it

Test it with (on cloud.ryzom.com):

salt '*' test.version

STEP 2 : Configure the Minion

To configure a Minion you need to push the changes into https://gitlab.com/ryzomteam/ryzom-salt.git.

The easiest way is to clone an existing file like ryzom-salt/salt/files/grains/servers/gingo and change the required values.

STEP 3 : Run salt init

The salt master is installed in cloud.ryzom.com, so all commands must be run on this server. To init the shard, run this command as tools user:

/home/data/monitoring/salt/files/update_minions.sh SHARDNAME

Later if you need to update the minion again, you can access to https://dag.ryzom.com, select Local at top right and run the dag Salting Minion. Enter the name of the Minion and run it

STEP 4 : Start Ribs

Go to https://dag.ryzom.com, select your Shard at top right and start RIBS dag. Check dag logs, you must see installation and finally:

Running...<WSGIServer address=YOUR_DOMAIN:8081>

STEP 5 : Use Ribs to complete Shard Setup

Use ribs to Setup the Shard:

Setup RocketChat Notifs (Will be update)
Setup Repositories (Git clone all Ryzom repositories)
Setup Compilation (Select some option. The default values are probably the better choice)
Setup Shard Config (Will be removed, the Shard Config are now defined in Salt)

Setup Shard ( I need check if all is OK)
Setup Shard Stop (Probably no required, to check)
