Import a context from a node into another one

To import a context from a node that currently hosts contextIds linked under that context into another node:

1) Set one time passcode

The admin of the node that currently hosts context should use brightid cli to set a one time passcode on the context to authorize the new node request for getting context info, and share this passcode with the admin of the new node.

$ sudo pip3 install brightidcli
$ brightid admin set-passcode --context <context> --passcode <passcode>
Done

2) Stop the consensus_receiver

To ensure that the new node will not miss contextIds that are linked while importing the context, its admin should stop the consensus_receiver service before importing.

$ cd BrightID-Node-docker
$ docker-compose stop consensus_receiver
Stopping brightid-node_consensus_receiver_1 ... done

3) Import the context

The admin of the new node should use brightid cli to import the context into the node.

$ sudo pip3 install brightidcli
$ brightid admin import-context --context <context> --remote-node <remote-node-address> --passcode <passcode>
Checking if the consensus receiver is stopped ...
Getting data ...
Importing context ...
Done

4) Restart the node

The node should be restarted after importing the context to start consensus_receiver again and also enable ws service load the new imported collections.

$ cd BrightID-Node-docker
$ docker-compose restart
Restarting brightid-node_consensus_receiver_1 ... done
Restarting brightid-node_consensus_sender_1   ... done
Restarting brightid-node_scorer_1             ... done
Restarting brightid-node_ws_1                 ... done
Restarting brightid-node_updater_1            ... done
Restarting brightid-node_db_1                 ... done
Restarting brightid-node_web_1                ... done
