## Agent registration on server
|
||||
|
||||
When the agent starts, it connects to the server using token from `WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET`. The server identifies agent and, if such agent doesn't exist, register him.
|
||||
There are two types of token, so would be two ways of agent registration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using system token
|
||||
|
||||
_System token_ is a token that is used system-wide, e. g. when you set the same token in `WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET` on both the server and the agents.
|
||||
|
||||
In that case registration process would be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. First time Agent communicates with Server using system token;
|
||||
2. Server registers Agent in DB, generates ID and sends this ID back to Agent;
|
||||
3. Agent stores ID in a file configured by `WOODPECKER_AGENT_ID_FILE`.
|
||||
|
||||
At the following startups Agent uses system token **and** ID.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using agent token
|
||||
|
||||
_Agent token_ is a token that is used by only particular agent. This unique token also configured by `WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET`, but only on the agent side.
|
||||
|
||||
In that case you probably doesn't configure `WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET` on the server side. The registration process would be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Administrator registers Agent manually in _Server settings - Agents - Add agent_;
|
||||
![Agent creation](./new-agent-registration.png)
|
||||
![Agent created](./new-agent-created.png)
|
||||
2. The token generated in previous step have to be provided to Agent in `WOODPECKER_AGENT_SECRET`;
|
||||
3. First time Agent communicates with Server using agent token;
|
||||
4. Server identifies Agent by the token and fills additional information provided by Agent;
|
||||
![Agent connected](./new-agent-connected.png)
|
||||
|
||||
At following startups Agent uses own token only.
|
||||
|
||||
## All agent configuration options

Here is the full list of configuration options and their default variables.
