### Replication Policies
|
| + |
|
| + |
In the section above, we mentioned a "seeding policy". In this section, we will
|
| + |
talk about two kinds of policies: [seeding policies](#seeding-policy) and
|
| + |
[follow policies](#follow-policy).
|
| + |
|
| + |
#### Seeding Policy
|
| + |
|
| + |
Seeding policy refers to a local configuration per Repository ID (RID) and
|
| + |
affect how repositories are replicated.
|
| + |
|
| + |
A seeding policy can be broken down into two components:
|
| + |
|
| + |
1. *Policy*: whether the nodes allows or blocks the repository from being
|
| + |
fetched and can either be set to `allow` and `block`. If a seeding policy is
|
| + |
set to `block`, then the repository is ignored, rather than fetched.
|
| + |
2. *Scope* can be one of two values: `all` or `followed`:
|
| + |
* `all`: references of *all* peer's namespaces within a repository are fetched.
|
| + |
* `followed` means that only references from your [followed](#follow-policy)
|
| + |
peers are fetched.
|
| + |
|
| + |
In both cases, the delegates of the repository are also fetched. These peers are
|
| + |
privileged since the state of the repository's identity and the default branch
|
| + |
are decided by these peers.
|
| + |
|
| + |
#### Follow Policy
|
| + |
|
| + |
A follow policy refers to a policy that affects a peer. Similarly to a seeding
|
| + |
policy, it can either be `allow` or `block`, but it does not require a scope.
|
| + |
|
| + |
As mentioned above, this affects the references that are being fetched within a
|
| + |
repository. When a seeding policy's scope is `followed`, the set of followed
|
| + |
peers, who are `allow` are retrieved.
|
| + |
|
| + |
Conversely, in all cases above, if a peer's policy is set to `block` their
|
| + |
references are never fetched.
|
| + |

### From remote viewing to adding remotes
|
| |
|
| - |
Whenever you `init` or `clone` a repository, your node will follow all peers
|
| - |
for that repository, which means that everyone's patches and issues will be
|
| - |
synchronized to your device.
|
| + |
Whenever you `init` or `clone` a repository, the `allow` policy of the
|
| + |
repository will be used, meaning that the node will register its interest
|
| + |
in changes for this repository. The node also uses a `scope` as part of the
|
| + |
policy to change the behavior of what peer data is replicated. The default is
|
| + |
`all`, which means that all Git references, patches, and issues are synchronized
|
| + |
to your local Radicle storage.
|
| |
|
| |
You can change this behavior by specifying a different scope when cloning or
|
| |
initializing a repository, with the `--scope` option. For example, `--scope
|
| |
followed` will only synchronize changes by peers you explicitly follow with the
|
| - |
`rad follow` command. The default is `--scope all`.
|
| + |
`rad follow` command.
|
| |
|
| |
But if a peer becomes a regular collaborator, it would be useful to add them as
|
| |
a Git remote to track their changes and `checkout` their branches, even if
|
| |
rad remote add z6MkvZwzK64f3GuDcAs6dEcje89ddfHkBjS1v9Dkh7aCGq3C --name paxel
|
| |
|
| |
This allows Calyx to keep up with our changes by creating a remote tracking
|
| - |
branch in his working copy, that has our main branch as its upstream.
|
| + |
branch in his working copy, that has our main branch as its upstream. In other
|
| + |
words, it helps us create a `git remote` with the necessary configuration to
|
| + |
interact with the Radicle storage copy of the repository.
