Cluster ODM + WebODM + ODM Installation baby steps

To set up a cluster you will need the following pieces connected to each other:

WebODM <---> ClusterODM <---> NodeODM1
                              NodeODM2
                              NodeODM(n)

Normally, when you run WebODM, it looks like this:

WebODM <---> NodeODM

So when we run:

./webodm.sh down && ./webodm.sh update && ./webodm.sh restart --default-nodes 0

we are starting WebODM on it’s own with no processing node. We do this, because we want our processing node to be a ClusterODM instance, so that ClusterODM can be a proxy for the different NodeODM instances.

So to complete the cluster, you need one machine with WebODM, ClusterODM, and NodeODM running, and another machine (since you have two) that just has NodeODM running on it.
