#2382 closed enhancement (wontfix)

hooks (external)

Description

I think it would be useful to have hooks similar to the ones git offers. This way, administrators can cleanly add functionality they need that does not belong to Tahoe or that is not yet integrated.

Examples would be to un/mount something to the shares directory upon stop/start of a node, calling a uPnP client upon start/stop etc.

There are probably more possibilities for hooks or - at least - more detailed ones like "pre start", "post start", "pre stop", "post stop".

Sounds like the kind of thing you could easily do with your supervisor... eg systemd. Implementing this functionality in Tahoe-LAFS would duplicate that functionality in some unique way which admins need to learn and Tahoe-LAFS maintainers need to maintain.
