Facts

manage facts

Usage: clan facts

Commands

This subcommand provides an interface to facts of clan machines. Facts are artifacts that a service can generate. There are public and secret facts. Public facts can be referenced by other machines directly. Public facts can include: ip addresses, public keys. Secret facts can include: passwords, private keys.

A service is an included clan-module that implements facts generation functionality. For example the zerotier module will generate private and public facts. In this case the public fact will be the resulting zerotier-ip of the machine. The secret fact will be the zerotier-identity-secret, which is used by zerotier to prove the machine has control of the zerotier-ip.

Examples

$ clan facts generate

Will generate facts for all machines.

$ clan facts generate --service [SERVICE] --regenerate

Will regenerate facts, if they are already generated for a specific service. This is especially useful for resetting certain passwords while leaving the rest of the facts for a machine in place.
