# gxadmin: Make Galaxy administration magical 🌈

A command line tool for [Galaxy](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy)
administrators to run common queries against our Postgres databases. It additionally
includes some code for managing Galaxy and associated features, and other utilities.

Mostly gxadmin acts as a repository for the common queries we all run regularly
but fail to share with each other.

It comes with a wide array of useful queries that you might want to run,
but you can also easily add more to your installation with local functions. gxadmin
attempts to be a very readable bash script and avoids using fancy new bash
features.

Subcommand | Functions
---- | ---
query | 104
server | 22
mutate | 22
meta | 12
galaxy | 12
report | 5
filter | 3
config | 2
cluster | 1

This script **requires a postgres database** and has **no** plans to support
mysql or sqlite3.

If we do support sqlite3 in the future, it will be on a "if you're lucky" type basis, we won't be modifying queries to remove postgres-ism.

## Installation

## Configuration

`gxadmin` does not have much configuration, mostly env vars and functions will complain if you don't have them set properly.

### Postgres

Queries support being run in normal postgres table, csv, or tsv output as you
need. Just use `gxadmin query`, `gxadmin tsvquery`, or `gxadmin csvquery` as
appropriate.

You should have a `~/.pgpass` with the database connection information, and set
`PGDATABASE`, `PGHOST`, and `PGUSER` in your environment.

Example .pgpass:

```
:5432:*::
```

### InfluxDB

In order to use functions like `gxadmin meta influx-post`, `gxadmin` requires
a few environment variables to be set. Namely
* `INFLUX_URL`
* `INFLUX_PASS`
* `INFLUX_USER`
* `INFLUX_DB`

### Other Environment Variables

Some subcommands may ask you to set these environment variables, if they aren't already.

Variable | Example Value
--- | ---
`GALAXY_CONFIG_DIR` | `/srv/galaxy/config/`
`GALAXY_CONFIG_FILE` | `/srv/galaxy/config/galaxy.yml`
`GALAXY_LOG_DIR` | `/var/log/galaxy/`
`GALAXY_MUTABLE_CONFIG_DIR` | `/srv/galaxy/var/`
`GALAXY_ROOT` | `/srv/galaxy/server/`
`VIRTUAL_ENV` | `/srv/galaxy/venv/`

### GDPR

You may want to set `GDPR_MODE=1`. Please determine your own legal responsibilities, the authors take no responsibility for anything you may have done wrong.

If you want to publish data, first be careful! Second, the `GDPR_MODE` variable is part of the hash, so you can set it to something like `GDPR_MODE=$(openssl rand -hex 24 2>/dev/null) gxadmin query ...` for hashing and "throwing away the key"

### Local Functions

If you want to add some site-specific functions, you can do this in `~/.config/gxadmin-local.sh` (location can be overridden by setting `$GXADMIN_SITE_SPECIFIC`)

You should write a bash script which looks like. **ALL functions must be prefixed with `local_`**

```bash
local_cats() { ## : Makes cat noises
handle_help "$@" <<-EOF
Here is some documentation on this function
EOF

echo "Meow"
}
```

This can then be called with `gxadmin` like:

```console
$ gxadmin local cats --help
gxadmin local functions usage:

cats Cute kitties

help / -h / --help : this message. Invoke '--help' on any subcommand for help specific to that subcommand
$ gxadmin local cats
Meow
$
```

If you prefix the function name with `query-`, e.g. `local_query-cats`, then it will be run as a database query. CSV/TSV/Influx queries are not currently supported.
