Management
==========

Sets and supersets
------------------

The Hydra Suite is flexible enough so you can use it to:

* Manage a single machine using `hydractl` command.
* Manage a set or a subset of machines -- a *network* -- from the same organization using `hydra` command.
* Manage a superset of machines -- *a constelation* -- comprised of one or more organizations using `hydras` command.

Creating a new network
----------------------

Use the following commands to create the needed repositories when starting a new network:

::

    hydra example init   ~/file/example
    hydra example config domain example.org

This makes `~/files/example` the base folder for all configuration of the network of machines called `example`.

Managing an existing network
----------------------------

If you have enough credentials (ssh pubkey set in the server), you can fetch
all the needed repositories and configurations to a local folder
`~/file/example` using simply the following command:

::

    hydra example init ~/file/example git@admin.example.org:example.git
