Use this checklist before expecting SQLite replication data in the cloud.

1. Register device in Golain

  • Create or select project and fleet
  • Add device with chosen name (e.g. gw-warehouse-07)
  • Note device name — this becomes OMEGA_DEVICE_ID and MQTT client identity
  • Note project topic slug (if configured) for OMEGA_ROOT_TOPIC

2. Issue MQTT credentials

Choose one path:
  • Issue device certificate via cert worker / console certificates UI
  • Save CA, client cert, and key to device filesystem
  • Set OMEGA_TLS_*_PATH env vars

Username/password

  • Copy MQTT username/password from device MQTT details
  • Set OMEGA_MQTT_USERNAME / OMEGA_MQTT_PASSWORD

JITR bootstrap (ilyama)

  • Obtain fleet bootstrap certificate
  • Configure connection.jitr in client YAML
  • On first run Omega calls JITR API → stores device cert
JITR enrollment

3. Configure root topic

Pattern:
Examples:
  • With slug: acme-prod/gw-warehouse-07
  • Without slug: /gw-warehouse-07 (leading slash, no slug segment)
Set OMEGA_ROOT_TOPIC to match broker ACL provisioning. Sync topics are then:

4. Prepare SQLite database

  • Application database path known (OMEGA_SOURCE_DB_PATH)
  • Tables have PRIMARY KEY defined
  • Plan for post-start mutations (pre-existing rows won’t sync without snapshot)
Optional: seed sample DB per omega sample scripts.

5. Build and deploy Omega

  • make build-client CLIENT=ilyama-edge GOOS=... GOARCH=...
  • Install binary + systemd unit (deploy guide)
  • Set all OMEGA_* env vars in service unit or env file
  • clean_session: false in embedded connection config

6. Verify connectivity

  • Device shows connected in console
  • Heartbeat module reporting (if enabled)
  • MQTT events in platform-tui:

7. Verify ingest

  • platform-tui → Edge Sync → Lineages — one lineage per replicated table
  • Segment accepted (no permanent reject loop)
  • Schema review queued for new tables (expected)

8. Complete governance

9. Production hardening

  • signed_control.enabled: true
  • TLS verify-full with correct CA
  • state.db on persistent volume
  • Monitor lineage paused events
  • Document column actions for each table schema version
