NAME

6       ss5.peers - Contains internet address of peers for centralized configu‐
7                       ration management
8

SYNOPSIS

10       ss5 usually reads the peer file, ss5.peers, in the /etc/opt/ss5  direc‐
11       tory.
12

DESCRIPTION

14       To  enable  centralized  configuration  management, ss5 opens and reads
15       peers list from ss5.peers file and  propagate  local  configuration  to
16       them  after  load/reload  command is received, using a propagate key as
17       security mechanism.
18
19       In the peer file, add one line for each peer. Each line should  contain
20       the internet address for the peer.

23       Adding  centralized  configuration management feature to ss5 requires 3
24       steps:
25
26            1. Create the peer file with one entry  per  line.  To  create  an
27               entry  for  the peer 172.16.0.1, add this line to the ss5.peers
28               file:
29
30                    172.16.0.1
31
32            2. Set the environment variable SS5_PROPAGATE_KEY  on  master  and
33               peers  with  a  key value before launch ss5 binary. The startup
34               file may contain two lines such as:
35
36                    SS5_PROPAGATE_KEY=123456789
37
38                    export SS5_PROPAGATE_KEY
39
40            3. Set the environment variable  SS5_ROLE_SLAVE=YES  on  peers  to
41            enable slave role and accept replica from master.
