* What is a remote uncloud client?
** Systems that configure themselves for the use with uncloud
** Examples are VMHosts, VPN Servers, etc.
** Examples are VMHosts, VPN Servers, cdist control server, etc.
* Which access do these clients need?
** They need read / write access to the database
* Possible methods
** Overview
| | pros | cons |
| SSL based | Once setup, can access all django parts natively, locally | X.509 infrastructure |
| SSH -L tunnel | All nodes can use [::1]:5432 | SSH setup can be fragile |
| ssh djangohost manage.py | All DB ops locally | Code is only executed on django host |
| https + token | Rest alike / consistent access | Code is only executed on django host |
** remote vs. local Django code execution
- If manage.py is executed locally (= on the client), it can
check/modify local configs
- However local execution requires a pyvenv + packages + db access
- Remote execution (= on the primary django host) can acess the db
via unix socket
- However remote execution cannot check local state
