# Softserve
Softserve is a web based service which enables users to self-provision virtual machines for a fixed duration. These virtual instances can be used to debug issues arising in various topics within the Gluster project. The provisioned VMs will get automatically removed after a fixed number of hours (at present this is set to 4 hrs)

The Gluster Infrastructure Project offers an instance of this service. To deploy this service outside of the Infrastructure, please follow the instruction set below.

## Installation
* Before you start installation make sure you have a working installation of python2
* Create and activate virtualenv
* In your virtualenv run ```pip install -r dev-requirements.txt```
* Now you are all ready with the installation and development

## Goals
* Launch the VMs as per the need of the user.
* Tear down automatically after a specific number of hours(4 hours). This is a requirement so that the machine time is used judicially and tied down to a specific bug
* Allow only those users who are in the Gluster organization on Github to request VMs.
* Users should be able to upload their SSH public key and they will get access to the machines when it is created.
* Maximum allowance of 5 VMs at a time across all the user.
* Send the notification to the user half an hour before terminating the VM ( when meeting the deadline of the 4 hours)

## Usage
* Run migrations and setup database `flask db upgrade`
* To run the softserve app on localhost run `flask run`
* Create application.cfg and add `DEBUG=True` to it so as to enable debug mode for your flask app
* By default this application reads and writes the data into sqlite but it can be overriden in your application.cfg

## TODO
* Write down the test cases

## Instance configuration details
