# 🔏 Lockronomicon

Lockronomicon is a simple lock service for distributed systems. It provides a slim HTTP API to a FS-based locking mechanism.

## Installation

### From Source
```
> make build
> ./lockronomicon -h
Usage of ./lockronomicon:
-address string
Network address to listen on (default ":80")
-path string
FS locker workdir path (default "/opt/locker")
-v Binary version
```

### Docker
Lockronomicon is available as a [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/laurynasgadl/lockronomicon):
```
docker run -p 80:80 laurynasgadl/lockronomicon
```

## Usage

A lock can be acquired by providing a locking key (pattern [^[\w.-]+$](https://regex101.com/r/IyvYwa/1)) and lock TTL (seconds). successfully acquiring a lock returns its generation number. This number is used to ensure lock ownership.

Lock TTL can be refreshed by providing its key and the generation number - TTL is extended by the original amount.

Locks are released by providing lock key and the generation number.
