On another (second) host, initialise the server. As we seen before (Scenario 1), username1 is an already existing user login (on this server).
hostname2# mediatex adm init hostname2# mediatex adm add user username1 hostname2$ su username1
Change the hostname in /etc/mediatex/mdtx.conf configuration file
<<< host localhost --- host hostname2 >>>
Try to join the “hello” collection. The host fingerprint should match with the one given in hostname1 configuration file.
hostname2# mediatex adm add coll hello@hostname1
This has created your local collection key. Send it to a PUBLISHER (see Who) already managing this collection.
hostname2# cat ~mdtx-hello/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
PUBLISHER has to add your key to the collection.
hostname1$ mediatex add key KEYFILE to coll hello
Finally, retry to join the collection.
hostname2# mediatex adm add coll hello@hostname1 hostname2$ su username1
Now the second server should be connected. We will check it.
First, empty the hostname1 cache and ask the daemon to scan it.
hostname1$ rm -fr ~mdtx/cache/mdtx-hello/logo* hostname1$ rm -fr ~mdtx/cache/mdtx-hello/supports hostname1$ mediatex srv scan
Secondly, remove support on hostname1 and share the ex-cd1
support with the collection on hostname2.
hostname1$ mediatex del supp ex-cd1 hostname1$ mediatex del supp ex-cd2 hostname2$ mediatex add supp ex-cd1 to coll hello
As a USER, browse the collection on the first server via this URL: https://hostname1/~mdtx-hello and ask once again for the logo image’s archive, providing your email address.
When first server reload (scheduled by CRON), it will notify the second server.
hostname1$ mediatex srv notify
PUBLISHER on hostname2 is now asked to provide the supports it shares
hostname2$ mediatex motd hostname2$ mediatex check supp ex-cd1 on \ /usr/share/mediatex/misc/logoP1.iso
Once second server notify, first server will copy back the provided file it will needs, to serve the USER query.
hostname2$ mediatex srv notify hostname1$ mediatex srv extract hostname1$ ls ~mdtx/cache/mdtx-hello/logoP1.cat
Notice: as for every supports having a bad score, the uploaded files (Scenario 4) are duplicated too.
hostname2$ mediatex srv extract hostname2$ ls ~mdtx/cache/mdtx-hello/cow*
