Overview
Our cluster setup instructions were a mess. Not only that, they were missing two very critical points: consistent UUID and consistent http secret across all nodes in a cluster. (Our setup wizard doesn't currently ensure these, so they must be done manually.)
If you are reviewing this PR, note that
src/setup/cluster.rst
was not just moved to a new directory, but completely overhauled.I'd like to get this in before 2.3.0 releases.
Testing recommendations
You could try setting up a new cluster using the information in
src/setup/cluster.rst
if you wanted.GitHub issue number
Addresses numerous requests that have come in through IRC/Slack, but no specific GH issue.
