Setting up Volttron Central (VC)

I have some questions about Volttron Central (VC):

  1. What library/module/webserver is used to serve web content (html, css, js, etc.)?
  2. What is default username/password? And how do I change it? I could not find this info in the doc.

Thanks.

Solution

  • VC uses a gevent based web server. We have added some custom functionality to it for registering routes etc.

    The default username/password fro the admin interface is admin/admin. Soon this will available through the volttron-cfg interface. To change the username/password this requires you to modify the configuration file for the agent.

    To create a password for use with VC you can execute

    #Authentication for users is handled through a naive password algorithm
import hashlib
hashlib.sha512(password).hexdigest() where password is the plain text password.

    This configuration is how the username/password/groups are created. Everything other than the users node is deprecated in this configuration file however. https://github.com/VOLTTRON/volttron/blob/develop/services/core/VolttronCentral/config
