# DSCPullServerWeb PowerShell Module
WebAPI and website to manage the on-premises DSC pull server artifacts like
nodes, modules and configurations.
## Introduction
The DSCPullServerWeb PowerShell module provides an extension to an on-premises
DSC Pull Server. It will provide a user-friendly website to manage modules and
configurations as well as show all registered nodes and their reports.
In addition, the website provides a [REST API]. The website UI itself uses the
REST API to interact with the DSC Pull Server. The REST API can be called
directly or throught the provided [PowerShell cmdlets](#features). The cmdlets
mock all API functions.
## Requirements
The following minimum requirements are necessary to use this module:
* Windows PowerShell 5.0
* Windows Server 2012 R2
* DSC Pull Server with ESENT database
## Installation
### Module
With PowerShell 5.0, the new [PowerShell Gallery] was introduced. Additionally,
the new module [PowerShellGet] was added to the default WMF 5.0 installation.
With the cmdlet `Install-Module`, a published module from the PowerShell Gallery
can be downloaded and installed directly within the PowerShell host, optionally
with the scope definition:
```powershell
Install-Module DSCPullServerWeb [-Scope {CurrentUser | AllUsers}]
```
Alternatively, download the latest release from GitHub and install the module
manually on your local system:
1. Download the latest release from GitHub as a ZIP file: [GitHub Releases]
2. Extract the module and install it: [Installing a PowerShell Module]
### Website
The DSC Pull Server website can be installed with the embedded DSC resource.
Refer to the following example to install the website on your DSC pull server:
[DscPullServerWeb_Configuration.ps1](https://github.com/claudiospizzi/DSCPullServerWeb/blob/dev/Modules/DSCPullServerWeb/Examples/DscPullServerWeb_Configuration.ps1)

This module is tested with the PowerShell testing framework Pester. To run all
tests, just start the included test script `.\Scripts\test.ps1` or invoke Pester
directly with the `Invoke-Pester` cmdlet. The tests will automatically download
the latest meta test from the claudiospizzi/PowerShellModuleBase repository.
To debug the module, just copy the existing `.\Scripts\debug.default.ps1` file
to `.\Scripts\debug.ps1`, which is ignored by git. Now add the command to the
debug file and start it.
### Acknowledgment
This module has been inspired by [grayzu] and his presentation at the PowerShell
Summit EU 2015 about the [DSCPullServerUI] in the [What's Up with the DSC Pull Server]
session.
