Agent Installation

Agent

The Agent node daemon is written in Python, and is extremely simple to install. The Agent's job is to beacon to the Master node to receive and execute commands, such as pulling or running containers.

Requirements

• Docker engine - Installation instructions can be found here.

• Python 2.7, and pip

• GCC - Required to install psutil

Steps

1. Run curl https://$C2DOMAIN_NAME/install | python

2. The Agent installs as a daemon called c2d. You can run c2d start/stop/restart to manage it.

Ensure the user which will run the Agent has Docker permissions (root has these by default). To add a user to the Docker group, run sudo usermod -aG docker $user You may have to log out and then log back in again for group permissions to be reloaded

Notes

• Running curl https://$C2DOMAIN_NAME/install | pythonnot only installs the Agent but also automatically configures it. To update agent, or reconfigure it, simply run this command again.

• On MacOS, and some Linux variants, it may be necessary to run python as sudo when installing the Agent daemon. In these cases the installation command would becurl https://$C2DOMAIN_NAME/install | sudo python

• The Agent can be removed by running pip uninstall C2F_Agent - However, as of now the docker images pulled by the agent will remain.
