[Red5devs] Edge/Origin config files

[Thijs Triemstra | Collab]

Hi,

I'm working on the ant build file and I'm trying to figure out the  
edge/origin stuff. Currently there's 2 folders created in the 'dist'  
folder called 'edge' and 'origin'. They're copies of the dist  
directory and the only differences are that the red5.xml is  
overwritten with a 'red5-edge.xml' or 'red5-origin.xml'. According to  
the wiki doc [1] it's recommended to run webapps on the origin only.  
I guess this means we should include the webapps/src/etc in the  
origin target only, because currently those files are not copied at  
all. Also, is it safe to delete the edge config files for the origin  
and vica versa? If it is then Ant can delete these files because I  
assume we don't need edge config files in a origin setup.

So I'm creating a new build target called 'dist-cluster' that will  
create a new 'cluster' folder that will contain:

  - edge (stripped down version of red5, containing config files, lib  
and red5.jar only)
  - origin (normal version of Red5, including the webapps folder
  - readme.txt - some simple instructions for clustering based on the  
wiki page [1]

Maybe we should also create a second (or a stripped down version of)  
build.xml for the edge, that contains startup commands only, no build  
stuff..

Cheers,

Thijs
