Creating a basic 3-node network

In this section, we will create a three-node network. The three nodes are: foo, bar, and mal.

foo -> bar <- mal

foo and mal are directly connected to bar with TCP connections.

foo can reach mal by sending network packets through bar.

Receptor configurations

Create three configuration files, one for each node.

foo.yml

---
- node:
  id: foo

- control-service:
  service: control
  filename: /tmp/foo.sock

- tcp-peer:
  address: localhost:2222
  redial: true

- log-level: debug

...

bar.yml

---
- node:
  id: bar

- control-service:
  service: control
  filename: /tmp/bar.sock

- tcp-listener:
  port: 2222

- log-level: debug

...

mal.yml

---
- node:
  id: mal

- control-service:
  service: control
  filename: /tmp/mal.sock

- tcp-peer:
  address: localhost:2222
  redial: true

- log-level: debug

- work-command:
  workType: echo
  command: bash
  params: "-c \"while read -r line; do echo $line; sleep 1; done\""
  allowruntimeparams: true

...

Run the services in separate terminals.

./receptor --config foo.yml

./receptor --config bar.yml

./receptor --config mal.yml
