Installation¶
Packages¶
Gofer is packaged into RPMs for Linux. These packages are as follows:
- gofer - The gofer agent (goferd).
- python-gofer - The common library.
- python-gofer-qpid - The python-qpid messaging adapter.
- python-gofer-amqp - The python-amqp messaging adapter.
- python-gofer-proton - The python-proton (AMQP 1.0) messaging adapter.
Depending on system capabilities, the gofer package registers goferd with systemd or upstart service managers.
Daemon¶
The daemon (service) is goferd. The /etc/sysconfig/goferd file defines configuration
and contains the following properties:
- PYTHON - The python interpreter.
- PYTHONOPTIMIZE - Python interpreter optimization (0=disabled, 1=enabled).
