The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
The system for preventing items being sent without a connection to the
master and (and thus voiding the items) is to only do so if a ping from
the plugin has been received in the last 5 seconds of in-game time.
Don't send pings without being fully connected to the master to make
sure this system actually activates during connection downtime.
Ignore inventory updates and orders while the instance is not in the
running state to avoid sending commands before the server has started
up, and also ignore orders if the connection to the master server isn't
isn't online to avoid piling up requests in the buffer during session
resume attempts.
Add logic to stop sending commands and wait for any pending commands to
complete during instance stop in subspace_storage. This should fix the
RCON connection lost errors printed in the console during stop.
Add winston based logger for master, slave, ctl, lib, and web_ui code.
Logging done from slaves and instances are sent to the master server and
tagged with the instance and/or slave it originated from. This allows
for example error messages to propagate back to the source that iniated
the action. The master server also stores the log to allow it to be
queried at a later point. For slaves a copy of the slave's log is also
stored locally.
Add a sendRcon method to BaseInstancePlugin and the slave's Instance
class. This servers two purposes, one is to reduce the repetition when
send RCON commands particularly from plugins, and the other is to
instrument the RCON commands sent with metrics about duration and size.
Use lib* prefix for the modules impored from the lib package to help
distinguish them more from ordinary variables. Fix up the naming
convention for files to be consistently lowercase_underscore for
JavaScript files.
Split up codebase into the packages @clsterio/lib, @clusterio/master,
@clusterio/slave, and @clusterio/ctl using lerna to manage them. This
will allow deployment to use only the parts needed reducing install
size, and better separate the code into shared library, master, slave
and control.
