Federation

Federation is a unique feature within Oblecto to link Oblecto servers together in a secure fashion to allow users to privately share their media collection with others.

Oblecto federation makes use of TLS for encryption and RSA challenge authentication to prevent unauthorized connections.

The RSA key is generated during oblecto init. The federation TLS keys must however be generated manually. Run the following command to generate the key: The FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain name) is very important here. Enter the address used by the remote servers to connect to your server.

openssl req -x509 -new -key /etc/oblecto/id_rsa -out /etc/oblecto/keys/public-cert.pem
