Starting with pyfarm

[haggi krey]

Hi,

I'm trying to use pyfarm to get more familiar with it and to learn how it works and on the other side to write a review on my website www.renderwiki.com.
Well, I installed CentOS in a virtual machine, cloned the pyfarm repositories pyfarm-master and pyfarm-agent. Then I installed the dependencies with pip install -e . --egg as recommended in the docs. I'm still a beginner with linux and relearning it since I stopped using irix 18 years ago....

Well, now I'm a bit unsure how to proceed. I suppose I have to install or start a database (postgresql ?). Then I suppose I have to start the master and the agents with some options. Do you have any additional documents how to proceed? Would be quite helpful.

So you might want to try using sqllite to start with which should require the minimal amount of setup and that's the default in the config:

You could setup Postgres or MySQL if you wish but for basic testing sqllite will probably be sufficient. You're right that there's the master and agent but there's also the scheduler that requires celery to run. The master can be run with `pyfarm-master`, which wraps up creating the tables/running the interface/APIs, but doesn't cover the scheduler. Unfortunately, documentation right now is fairly lacking in the getting started department and I don't have any good examples myself that would be helpful to you.
