# launch-admin

Launch the Admin node: the agent, the admin server, the ActiveMQ discovery broker, and the bundled InfluxDB/Grafana. Requires the bastion to be running.

## Syntax

```bash
rumi cloud hetzner launch-admin \
  --api-key <token> \
  --network <network> \
  --key-pair <keypair> \
  [options]
```

## Options

| Option       | Short | Description                                                 | Default  |
| ------------ | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| `--api-key`  | `-k`  | The Hetzner Cloud project API token (or set `HCLOUD_TOKEN`) | Required |
| `--region`   | `-r`  | The Hetzner location to launch into                         | `fsn1`   |
| `--network`  | `-n`  | Name of the network to launch into                          | Required |
| `--key-pair` | `-K`  | The SSH key pair to launch with                             | Required |

## Example

```bash
rumi cloud hetzner launch-admin \
  --api-key $HCLOUD_TOKEN \
  --network my-cloud \
  --key-pair rumi
```

## Notes

* Boots from the baked `admin` snapshot into the network.
* Registers `admin.rumi.local` on the bastion's DNS, plus `discovery.rumi.local` and `influxdb.rumi.local` (the names the rest of the fleet's agent/controller config points at), and points the node's resolver at the bastion.
* The bastion must be launched first (it hosts DNS and is the only publicly reachable node).
