This article is under development.

Stratum-0:

• Create new repo:

cvmfs_server mkfs -w http://mesthoop.nikhef.nl/cvmfs/my.repo.fqdn -o cvmfs my.repo.fqdn

• Populate repo:

cvmfs_server transaction my.repo.fqdn
rsync -av <SRCDIR> /cvmfs/my.repo.fqdn/
cvmfs_server publish my.repo.fqdn

(or to abort:)

cvmfs_server abort my.repo.fqdn

• Enable replication to Stratum-1:

cvmfs_server alterfs -m on my.repo.fqdn

Stratum-1:

• Add the pub key of the new repo to /etc/cvmfs/keys/my.repo.fqdn.pub

• Add the repo:

 cvmfs_server add-replica http://<STRATUM-0>/cvmfs/my.repo.fqdn /etc/cvmfs/keys/my.repo.fqdn.pub

• To synchronize:

/usr/local/sbin/cvmfs-stratum1-synchronize.sh

or

 cvmfs_server snapshot my.repo.fqdn

# cat /etc/cvmfs/config.d/my.repo.fqdn.conf 
CVMFS_PUBLIC_KEY=/etc/cvmfs/keys/my.repo.fqdn.pub
CVMFS_SERVER_URL=http://<STRATUM-1>/cvmfs/@fqrn@/
