# Envdb - Environment Database

* NOTE: envdb is still beta software.

Envdb turns your production, dev, cloud, etc environments into a database
cluster you can search using [osquery](https://github.com/facebook/osquery) as the foundation.

Envdb allows you to register each computer, server or asset as a node in a cluster. Once a new
node is connected it becomes available for search from the Envdb ui.
Envdb was built using golang so the whole application, node client and server comes as one single binary.
This makes it really easy to deploy and get working in seconds.

## How it works.

Envdb wraps the osquery process with a node agent (node as in cluster node) that can communicate back to a central location.
When that node gets a new query, it's executed and then sent back to the tcp server for rendering. Once the
request is processed it's then sent to any avaliable web clients using websockets.

Envdb has an embedded sqlite database for node storage and saved searches.

ui --websockets--> server --tcp--> node client.

## Download

Pre-built versions (deb/tar.gz) of envdb are avaliable for linux 386/amd64.
[linux downloads](https://github.com/mephux/envdb/releases)

Building on macosx is easy tho, checkout the section below.

## Building

Make sure you have Go installed. I used Go version 1.4.1.

#### deps

* `go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...`
* `go get github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs`

#### make

* `git clone https://github.com/mephux/envdb.git`
* `cd envdb`
* `make`

## Usage

* **NOTICE**: The default username and password for the UI.
* username: **[email protected]**
* password: **envdb**

```
usage: envdb [] [] [ ...]

The Environment Database - Ask your environment questions

Flags:
--help Show help.
--debug Enable debug logging.
--dev Enable dev mode. (read assets from disk and
enable debug output)
-q, --quiet Remove all output logging.
--version Show application version.

Commands:
help []
Show help for a command.

server []
Start the tcp server for node connections.

node --server=127.0.0.1 []
Register a new node.

users []
User Management (Default lists all users).
```

#### Server

```
$ envdb help server

usage: envdb [] server [] []

Start the tcp server for node connections.

Flags:
-p, --port=3636 Port for the server to listen on.
-P, --http-port=8080
Port for the web server to listen on.

Args:
[] Daemon command. (start,status,stop)
```

Running the server without a `command` (start, stop or status) will run the server in the foreground.

* Note: By default this will start the tcp server on port 3636 and the web server on port 8080.

#### Node Client

```
$ envdb help node

usage: envdb [] node --server=127.0.0.1 []

Register a new node.

Flags:
-s, --server=127.0.0.1
Address for server to connect to.
-p, --port=PORT Port to use for connection.

Args:
A name used to uniquely identify this node.
```

`sudo envdb node --server SomeBoxName`

* That's it - it's really that simple.

#### User Management

* list users
`envdb users`

* add a new user
`envdb users --add`

* remove a new user
`envdb users --remove `
