`capsul-flask` invokes [shell-scripts](./capsulflask/shell_scripts/) to create/manage [libvirt/qemu](https://www.libvirt.org/manpages/virsh.html) vms, and it depends on `dnsmasq` to act as the DHCP server for the vms.
`capsul-flask` has a ["hub and spoke" architecture](./architecture.md). The "Hub" runs the web application and talks to the Postrges database, while the "Spoke"(s) are responsible for creating/managing virtual machines. In this way, capsul can be scaled to span more than one machine. One instance of the capsul-flask application can run in both hub mode and spoke mode at the same time, however there must only be one instance of the app running in "Hub" mode at any given time.

# hub-and-spoke architecture
The "Hub" runs the web application and talks to the Postrges database, while the "Spoke"s are responsible for creating/managing virtual machines. One instance of the capsul-flask application can run in hub mode and spoke mode at the same time.
The "Hub" runs the web application and talks to the Postgres database, while the "Spoke"s are responsible for creating/managing virtual machines. One instance of the capsul-flask application can run in hub mode and spoke mode at the same time.
The Hub and the Spoke must be configured to communicate securely with each-other over HTTPS. They both have to be able to dial each-other directly. The URLs / auth tokens they use are configured both in the config file (`HUB_URL`, `SPOKE_HOST_ID`, `SPOKE_HOST_TOKEN` and `HUB_TOKEN`) and in the database (the `id`, `https_url`, and `token` columns in the `hosts` table).
