Core Servers

A core server is an FTL server to which FTL clients connect.

A core server provides an explicitly configured realm service, which is essential for client operations.

A cluster of core servers can cooperate for fault tolerance, or a single core server can operate solo. It is best practice to specify an odd number of core servers. You must specify at least one core server.

Specify the set of core servers in the core.servers map within the globals section of the FTL server configuration file.

globals: 
    core.servers:
        ftl1: host1:8585
        ftl2: host2:8585
        ftl3: host3:8585

Specify the host and port location of each core server in this map.

The host can specify a host computer or an interface of a host computer.

The port specifies the port for all communications with the server. Even if an FTL server provides several services, network administrators need open only one port. The server automatically multiplexes the request stream to its services. The default port number is 8585.
