Hello :)

Workers discover the server instance using a server directory. It can either use a default location, or you can specify it explicitly (you can also run multiple HQ servers concurrently with custom server directories).

This does not necessarily mean that a shared filesystem is required, you can just copy the server directory after the server is started to another node where the worker should run.

Of course we realize that this solution is less than ideal if you don't have a shared filesystem, and we are prepared to add new ways of providing workers/clients with connection information. We were just waiting for the first use-case to see what will our users actually want (we already had a cloud use-case, but for that it was enough to just copy the directory so far).

Both clients and workers require several pieces of data to connect to the server, at the very least hostname and port, but also things like encryption keys.

Let us know what other ways of passing this information you have in mind. We could e.g. pass some kind of "connection string" to the commands.
