Refine the state flow used in the connector abstractions to better handle close while connecting and resuming. The new logic is to close the connection immediately in these two states instead of continuing trying to connect and then giving up some point later. For the connectors the handshake state is split into connecting and resuming, new is replaced by closed, and the closing state is turned into a boolean flag as it's possible that closing is desired while connecting, connected or resuming. The connecting state is not present in the server connector because there's nothing for the server to do in that connector state. The timeout logic is completely removed, once a connection attempt is started for the client it will continue to attempt to connect, attempt to resume dropped connections and attempt reconnects until either an authentication error occurs or the client explicitly requests to close the connection. A new session timeout is added to control how long to attempt to resume the connection until it's considered dead and invalidated. This allows stale connections to give up earlier, and swallow up less data while in the dropped but not yet invalidated state. For the client side sending messages while it's connecting has been changed to throw an error instead of queuing up the message and (possibly) sending it after the connection is established. Code shouldn't try to send messages without knowing if the connection it's trying to send them over is active or not.
Clusterio Master Server
Communication hub for Clusterio clusters. The master server forwards data between Clusterio slaves connected to it and allows the cluster to be remotely managed through WebSocket connections to it either by using the included web interface or the Clusterio ctl command line utility.
Usage
npx clusteriomaster <command>
Common options:
-
--plugin-list <file>JSON file to use for storing the list of plugins that are available to the master server. Defaults toplugin-list.jsonand will be created if it does not exist. See theplugincommand for managing this list. -
--config <file>JSON file to use for storing configuration for the master server. Defaults toconfig-master.jsonand will be created if it does not exist. See theconfigcommand for inspecting and modifying the configuration.
plugin <command>
Configure plugins available to be loaded by the master server. The available plugins will be loaded unless they have been disabled in the configuration, see the config command for disabling plugins.
plugin add <path>
Add plugin either by require path or relative/absolute path to the plugin directory. A relative path must start with ./ or ../ (or .\ and ..\ on Windows) otherwise it will be assumed to be a require path for an installed package in node_modules.
For example, installing the Subspace Storage plugin:
npm install @clusterio/plugin-subspace_storage
npx clusteriomaster plugin add @clusterio/plugin-subspace_storage
Since the plugin-list.json is shared between master, slave and ctl you usually only need to do this once per machine.
plugin remove <name>
Remove a plugin by its name. This should be done before uninstalling the plugin, otherwise there will be an error when Clusterio tries to load the info from the plugin. Removing and unistalling a plugin is usually not neccessary as the functions provided by the plugin can be disabled in the config.
For example, uninstalling the Subspace Storage plugin:
npx clusteriomaster plugin remove subspace_storage
npm uninstall @clusterio/plugin-subspace_storage
Since the plugin-list.json is shared between master, slave and ctl you usually only need to do this once per machine.
plugin list
Lists the plugins set up to be available by name followed by path.
config
Manage the master server configuration offline. This should only be used when the master server is stopped, otherwise the config read might be out of date and config changes will be overwritten when the master server shuts down.
config set <config-entry> [value]
Set a config entry to the given value. If value is not provided the entry is set to null. If the config entry is of type object the value must be a valid JSON serialization of an object.
See docs/configuration.md in the main repositiory for the available configuration entries.
config show <config-entry>
Shows the value for a single config entry.
config list
Lists up all configuration entries with their currently configured values.
bootstrap
Commands for setting up initial admin acount and access to the cluster.
bootstrap create-admin <name>
Creates a new user account with the given name if it does not already exist in the cluster and grant it full cluster admin permission. You should be using your own Factorio multiplayer username here.
bootstrap generate-user-token <name>
Generate an access token for logging in and possibly managing the cluster from the given user account.
This can be used both in the web interface and as the master_token to connect with clusterioctl.
bootstrap create-ctl-config <name>
Creates a clusterioctl config for the given user with url and token set up for connecting to the cluster.
run
Runs the master server.
