## Description

Provides a simplified API for creating and destroying CBSD virtual environments.

## Errata

By default, all actions are permitted for all requests.
Through the `-allowlist ` parameter you can limit the number of permissible public keys/CID.
Format of similar to authotized_keys: one key per line, e.g:

```
ssh-ed25519 AAAA...xxx your_name@@your.domain
ssh-ed25519 AAAA...yyy user2@@example.com
```

## Installation

Assuming you have a stock vanilla FreeBSD 14.2+ installation.
The directives below configure a standalone installation ( single API + hoster env),
however you can use any number of physical nodes for single API.

1) Install packages:
```
pkg install -y cbsd cbsd-mq-router cbsd-mq-api beanstalkd git
```

2) Configure beanstalkd, the broker service.

Since all services are on the same server, we will specify the address 127.0.0.1
for incoming connections and start the service:
```
sysrc beanstalkd_flags="-l 127.0.0.1 -p 11300"
service beanstalkd enable
service beanstalkd restart
```

3) Configure CBSD as usual:
```
env workdir=/usr/jails /usr/local/cbsd/sudoexec/initenv
```

4) Configure MQ router

First, get hoster FQDN via `hostname` command.
Let's say your host has a name: apitest.my.domain

Open /usr/local/etc/cbsd-mq-router.json in any favorite editor and set
"tube" and "reply_tube_prefix" params ( cbsd_ and cbsd__result_id ), e.g:

```
{
"cbsdenv": "/usr/jails",
"cbsdcolor": false,
"broker": "beanstalkd",
"logfile": "/dev/stdout",
"recomendation": "/usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/misc/recomendation.sh",
"freejname": "/usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/misc/freejname.sh",
"server_url": "https://127.0.0.1",
"cloud_images_list": "/usr/local/etc/cbsd_api_cloud_images.json",
"iso_images_list": "/usr/local/etc/cbsd_api_iso_images.json",
"beanstalkd": {
"uri": "127.0.0.1:11300",
"tube": "cbsd_zpool1",
"reply_tube_prefix": "cbsd_zpool1_result_id",
"reconnect_timeout": 5,
"reserve_timeout": 5,
"publish_timeout": 5,
"logdir": "/var/log/cbsdmq"
}
}

```

`cloud_images_list` - The path to the json file, which is displayed upon /images query - list of avaliable images.
See etc/cbsd_api_cloud_images.json as sample.

5) Start MQ router:
```
service cbsd-mq-router enable
service cbsd-mq-router start
```

6) Install CBSD API module:
```
cbsd module mode=install api
echo 'api.d' >> ~cbsd/etc/modules.conf
cbsd initenv
```

7) Configure CBSD API module.

Copy configuration sample to work dir:
```
cp -a /usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/etc/api.conf ~cbsd/etc/
cp -a /usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/etc/bhyve-api.conf ~cbsd/etc/
cp -a /usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/etc/jail-api.conf ~cbsd/etc/
```

Open ~cbsd/etc/api.conf in any favorite editor and set "server_list=" to server FQDN, e.g:
```
...
server_list="apitest.my.domain"
...
```

Set 'cbsd' user permission for ~cbsd/etc/api.conf file:
```
chown cbsd:cbsd ~cbsd/etc/api.conf
```

Here you can check that the API module scripts works:
```
su -m cbsd -c '/usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/misc/recomendation.sh'
```
must return the host from server_list ( apitest.my.domain )

```
su -m cbsd -c '/usr/local/cbsd/modules/api.d/misc/freejname.sh'
```
must return the unique name 'envX'.

8) Configure RestAPI daemon:
```
mkdir -p /var/db/cbsd-api /usr/jails/var/db/api/map
chown -R cbsd:cbsd /var/db/cbsd-api /usr/jails/var/db/api/map
service cbsd-mq-api enable
service cbsd-mq-api start
```

## Usage

### Via curl, valid endpoints:

```
curl -H "cid:" http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/cluster
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @filename.json http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/create/vm1
curl -H "cid:" http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/status/
curl -H "cid:" http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/start/
curl -H "cid:" http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/stop/
curl -H "cid:" http://127.0.0.1:65531/api/v1/destroy/
```
Where `` is your token/namespace. For convenience, in a *private cluster*,
we suggest using md5 hash of your public key as .

To test with curl, create valid payload file, e.g. `debian12.json`:
```
cat > debian11.json <
