Herodote-cli

About

Herodote-cli setup a server to handle some job requests from an Herodote server with web hooks. It is composed of a server handling web hooks, and slaves that execute the jobs.

Herodote server will send a request to your server on data modification with the details of the command to execute. Data will be fetched from Openstack Swift, command executed and results pushed back to Swift.

Jobs are dispatched among slaves.

The secret provided at init is used to create JWT tokens used to authorize the requests. Keep this secret private. In case of compromission, restart the master using a different secret, invalid token requests will be rejected.

Requirements

NodeJS, MongoDB and Docker installed on master and NodeJS and Swift python client on slaves.

Status

Still in beta

Install

npm install -g @osallou/herodote-cli

Setup

hero-cli init

init will explain what should be done after that. A docker-compose.yml and .env file will be generated to start necessary components (mongo and rabbitmq). You may use local installs of those components, in this case simply update URLs/credentials on master and slave commands to match your install.

On Openstack, init will try to auto-detect private and public IP addresses. In case of failure, simply update .env file and master/slave commands.

Development

Start a mongo and rabbitmq server locally (on host or docker exposing ports) and update rabbitmq credentials in command.

Install npm nodemon for autorestart on file change.

NODE_ENV=development node node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon bin/hero-master run --mongo localhost:27017/hero --rabbit amqp://login:password@localhost:5672/%2F --secret XXXX

NODE_ENV=development node node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon bin/hero-slave run --mongo localhost:27017/hero --rabbit amqp://login:password@localhost:5672/%2F

Production

# For port selection, use --port option
hero-master run --mongo localhost:27017/hero --rabbit amqp://login:password@localhost:5672/%2F --secret XXXX
hero-slave run --mongo localhost:27017/hero --rabbit amqp://login:password@localhost:5672/%2F

To run processes as daemon:

npm install -g forever
forever start hero-master ....
forever start hero-slave ....

It is possible to scale slaves by running slaves on other servers, simply update command line to match mongo and rabbit option with master IP address (instead of localhost)
