Using Squish floating licenses via our Squish license server

Currently we have only 5 tester lincenses.

---

Follow these steps to use the available floating licenses :

1. Generate password protected Ed25519 SSH key with at least 100 rounds of key derivations

   ​​​​​ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "[e-mail]"
   

   The public key should be in ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub.

2. Create PR for the Squish Server Config in order to add your user and SSH key to the bootstrap__active_extra_users list. Request review from @jakubgs.

3. Once Jakub has deployed the changes You will be able to create an SSH tunnel to one of the Squish license server ports(49345) available under squish.infra.status.im and squish-02.infra.status.im:

   ​​​​ssh -N -L 49345:localhost:49345 squish.infra.status.im
   

   If your local login is different it has to be specified before the hostname separated by @.

   ​​​​ssh -N -L 49345:localhost:49345 [e-mail]
   

   This command blocks and should be left to run while tunnel is used.

4. To check if the 49345 port is listening locally you can use netstat on Linux or Windows:

   ​​​​netstat -lpnt | grep 49345
   

5. Launch Squish. Provide localhost:49345 as Squish license server address.

When prompted to indicate the Core.Framework path, u literally need to go to QT folder where u installed the QT of the version u need (for us it is 5.14.2) and select Core.Framework folder :D

You should be now able to use the available Squish license.
