Hashtopolis Python Agent
This agent is used with Hashtopolis, read the wiki or create issues there, visit the Forum. This Hashtopolis agent is only compatible with Hashtopolis versions 0.5.0 and higher.
Prerequisites
You need python3 installed on your agent system. Following python packages are required:
- requests
- psutil
Manual
You can either download the agent from the Hashtopolis new agent page or you can use the url shown there to download the agent with wget/curl.
Run
To run the agent you simply need to call python3 hashtopolis.zip
. The settings/configurations normally are done via the config file, described in one of the following sections.
Please note:
- The client does not correctly recognize the OS when you are running in Cygwin or similar on Windows. You need to run it in Windows command line.
- If you unpack the agent out of the .zip file, the automatic updating from the server won't work correctly.

Debug example
{
"url": "https://example.org/hashtopolis/api/server.php",
"token": "7RNDqtnPxm",
"uuid": "49dcd31c-3637-4f2a-8df1-b545202df5b3",
"debug": true
}
rsync
You need a user on the server which can automatically login (e.g. SSH keys) and has read access to the files directory of hashtopolis. On the client side you need rsync installed and set the following lines in your agent config.
"rsync": true,
"rsync-path": "user@yourserver:/path/to/hashtopolis/files"
Multicast
In order to use the multicast distribution for files, please make sure that the agents and server are prepared according to this:https://github.com/hashtopolis/runner
