Huginn
Your agents are standing by!
Huginn is a tool that allows you to automate tasks on the internet and/or your private intranet.
Installation
When huginn first starts up it will create one user named, admin, with the password, password, along with a number of example agents for that user. Each new user will start off with a set of example agents.
The Huggin web interface is served in the huginn_web container on port 3000. In order to get web traffic to the container you have to create a Rancher load balancer and route the traffic to the container on port 3000.
Scaling
The huginn-web service can be scaled to provide a redundant web interface or to account for a large amount of traffic, but scaling is usually unnecessary.
The huginn-agent-runner service cannot be scaled as it is the agent scheduler. Running multiple huginn-agent-runner services would result in jobs running multiple times. Running only a single huginn-agent-runner container should not be a HA concern because the container does not represent any significant load and because the container will restart automatically in case of a failure. In the event of a container restart, there will a momentary pause in agent scheduling, but that should not represent any issue.
The huginn-delayed-job service can and should be scaled up if you have a large number of agents. This will distribute the tasks over more containers.
Configuration
