DESCRIPTION
The Icecream daemon has to run on all nodes being part of the Icecream
compile cluster. It receives compile jobs and executes them in a chroot
environment. The compile clients send their compile environment the
first time they send a job to a particular daemon, so that the environ‐
ment of the daemon doesn't have to match the one of the client.
The daemon also has to run on clients sending compile jobs to the Ice‐
cream network. If a node should be able to send compile jobs, but never
receive any, start the daemon with the option -m 0.
All Icecream daemons need to have contact to the Icecream scheduler
which controls the distribution of data between compile nodes. Normally
the daemon will automatically find the right scheduler. If this is not
the case you can explicitly specify the name of the Icecream network
and the host running the scheduler.
OPTIONS-n netname
The name of the icecream network the daemon should connect to.
There has to be a scheduler running for the network under the
same network name.
-m max_processes
Maximum number of compile jobs started in parallel on machine
running the daemon.
--no-remote
Prevents jobs from other nodes being scheduled on this one.
-w
-d, --daemonize
Detach daemon from shell.
-l logfile
Name of file where log output is written to.
-s scheduler_host
Name of host running the scheduler for the network the daemon
should connect to. This option might help if the scheduler can't
broadcast its presence to the clients due to firewall settings
or similar reasons.
-v, -vv, -vvv
Control verbosity of daemon. The more v the more verbose.
-r, --run-as-user
Force running the daemon with user rights. Usually you will need
to run the daemon with root rights.
-b env_basedir
Base directory for storing compile environments sent to the dae‐
mon by the compile clients.
-u, --nobody-uid nobodyuid
Id of user nobody. This user id is used when the daemon is drop‐
ping privileges.
--cache-limit MB
Maximum size in Mega Bytes of cache used to store compile envi‐
ronments of compile clients.
-N hostname
The name of the icecream host on the network.
