Configuration

Once installed, set up your local configuration directory:

dmtri init

This creates a config folder (e.g., ~/.config/dmtri/ on Linux) with a template hosts.ini and all standard playbooks.

Edit your Inventory

Use nano (or any text editor) to fill in your EIDA server details:

nano ~/.config/dmtri/hosts.ini

PSD settings

dmtri fix --psd runs on the machine where seedpsd is installed. This is often a different machine. Add it to hosts.ini:

[seedpsd_nodes]
seedpsd.example.org ansible_user=qc

[seedpsd_nodes:vars]
# Where seedpsd is installed
seedpsd_dir=/home/qc/seedpsd
# Full path to the SDS archive (must start with /)
seedpsd_archive=/data/sds
# Optional: use several CPUs (off by default)
seedpsd_parallel=true
seedpsd_max_cpu=4

Verify Connectivity

Check if your servers are reachable:

dmtri doctor

Customization

Local Playbooks

dmtri init copies all playbooks to your config directory. You can edit them to change automation logic:

# Location: ~/.config/dmtri/playbooks/
nano ~/.config/dmtri/playbooks/refresh/availability_refresh.yml

dmtri prioritizes these local playbooks over the bundled defaults.

Inventory Overrides

Override the inventory at runtime:

dmtri doctor --inventory ./my_custom_hosts.ini
