I managed to connect nodes and send messages between them, but if i have a lot of nodes that connect and disconnect frequently it seems like the :global module have trouble with network partition
#Sending messages betwen nodes through global

I think you can try to use something like Horde (or Pogo ? or other newer stuff) to handle this kind of stuff!
this way you will have a distributed registry 🙂

what about libcluster ?

Are the other nodes connecting over the internet?
If so, using erlang distribution to connect them is grossly insecure
...and without tricks, you'll never be able to connect thousands of nodes
tiny tapir
yes they are connected over the internet. Which are the alternatives then ?
Sorry for the ignorance, first time trying to build something like this

Maybe take a step back and explain what you’re trying to build
But once a node is connected, it has full access to the node it connected to
Quit from what I can tell so far, maybe just use an rpc protocol over tls, like thrift or grpc

What i'm trying to dobuild is a way of monitoring workers. I would like to install an agent on each worker (in my case container) and then from a manager node see all the agents, assign roles, and other stuff
Something like an orchestrator
tiny tapir
the worker is a generic container, which can change. The number of workers/container is dynamic and i choose it from swarm
docker swarm

I'm confused as to why they're connecting over the internet then
tiny tapir
probably i missunderstood what you mean "over the internet", sorry english is not my first language. Everything is running on my local network, or aws
