Heiko uses a config.yml to store info about jobs and nodes of the cluster. A sample config has been provided in examples/sample-config.yml. The default path for the config is at .heiko/config.yml in the current directory where you would like to start heiko from. You can also specify config manually.

By default Heiko uses SSH keys for authentication. If no path to keys are specified, Heiko will attempt to generate a keypair at ~/.ssh/heiko/ and transfer them to the node (user will be prompted for auth in this case).

If on the other hand keys are specified, Heiko will directly attempt to establish a connection using the key (user is responsible to have transferred the keys prior to usage).

Finally, heiko does support the use of SSH passwords for authentication. Although, it is advised not to use passwords as they are stored as plain text in the config file.

heiko start/init --config path/to/config

You can initialize heiko, which for now runs the init jobs from your config.yml. More about the config can be found in Wiki.

heiko init -n <name you want to give>

Starting heiko in normal mode

heiko start -n <name you want to give>

Starting heiko in daemon mode

heiko start -n <name you want to give> -d

Once your in daemon mode, you can stop the daemon as follows.

heiko stop -n <name of the daemon you gave earlier>
