@prashanthpai I had a discussion with @kshlm regarding same, as he suggested I needed to check with others before removing it. Will remove it. and update the PR

I really do not see how this change fixes or improves anything

Fedora does not come under "non-rpm distros", but to install glusterd2 in Fedora we need to use binaries, so it is better to mention just distros to make it more generalized.

@prashanthpai @aravindavk @Madhu-1 Please review

harigowtham

I had a few questions. have raised them as a comment. If they arent valid, do let me know.

And from line 97 in the existing code, can we have that line above the commands like add peer and stuff. It has instructions about rest and cli which to all commands. This will make it clearer.

Can we point them to the link where they can find how to set up external etcd?

Right now do we have any documentation related to external etcd?

do we have to mention it for binaries as well?

yes, will do that. For binaries I think we will have to stop the glusterd2 if already running, and then start it with same command.

Is there any step to be performed while using the default authentication? I remember having messed up something here so that i had to turn it off. If yes, can you mention that?

for using the default authentication they will have to go through the authentication document #1021, IMO in quick user guide we should help users in using GD2 with minimal setup efforts.

+In glusterd2, REST API authentication is enabled by default. To disable rest authentication add `restauth=false` in Glusterd2 config file(`/etc/glusterd2/glusterd2.toml`) or the custom config file provided by you (conf.toml as per above example)


Is this something that is recommended? If not, perhaps it is prudent to add a disclaimer like "the developers would recommend that the ReST API authentication is not disabled"

IMO sure will add the disclaimer, but IMO for the pupose of speeding up the setup, its better to let user disable the authentication for trying out GD2.
