Stork Tutorial: Config File

You will need to change the stork configuration file included in the Storkutil tarball to match the identity you created. Simply open up the file which should be named sample-stork.conf and change the 'username = ' line to match the username you chose for your keys. You will also need to modify the 'publickeyfile = ' line, to match the location of your publickey. By default, this should be "publickeyfile = /usr/local/stork/var/keys/<username>.publickey", where <username> is the name you generated your keys for. You will need to distribute this configuration file to all your nodes through the upload website.

Note! The stork configuration file is different from the storkutil configuration file. The setdefault command will appropriately change the storkutil configuration file, but you will still need to change and distribute the Stork configuration file manually.

After you have modified your configuration file, you can create your tarball package. If you already have a package ready, you can move on to modifying your trusted packages file in order to let Stork know which packages you trust to be installed. You can also upload your publickey and your configuration file to the repository; this will need to be done for Stork to function, but you can also upload all your Stork files together at the end of the tutorial.
