# grifork

Fast propagative task runner for systems which consist of a lot of servers.

# Concept

**Grifork** runs defined tasks on the system in a way like tree's branching.
Give **grifork** a list of hosts, then it creates a tree graph internally, and runs
tasks in a top-down way.

**Grifork** has two modes to work:

1. **Standalone** mode. This requires **grifork** program only on the root server
in the tree graph: i.e. the server which invokes tasks.
1. **Grifork** mode. On the other hand, this requires **grifork** program to work
on every node in the graph.

Take a look at each mechanism.

## Standalone Mode

The image below illustrates a 3-depth tree of 13 nodes including root node.

![standalone mode](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/key-amb/grifork/resource/images/standalone_mode2.png)

We are running a task to copy a file tree to every host.
1st stage is completed: to copy them to nodes in 1st generation.

Now at 2nd stage, root node logins each of its children by _ssh_ and kicks _rsync_
program there, in order to copy the file tree from 1st to 2nd generation.

NOTE:

- Max concurrency of running task in **standalone** mode is the number of nodes
at the generation which holds max.
This is the last genaration or the genartion before the last.

## Grifork Mode

The image below is similar to previous situation except that this is in **grifork** mode.

![grifork mode](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/key-amb/grifork/resource/images/grifork_mode2.png)

In this mode, parent nodes in the graph invokes _grifork_ command on every child
node via _ssh_, giving the graph tree which descends from each child node.

# System Requirements

- Ruby v2
- ssh, rsync

# Installation

```sh
git clone https://github.com/key-amb/grifork.git
cd grifork
bundle
```

# Usage

```sh
edit Griforkfile
./bin/grifork [--[f]ile path/to/Griforkfile] [-n|--dry-run]
```

## Griforkfile

**Griforkfile** is DSL file for _grifork_ which configures and defines the tasks
to be executed by _grifork_.

Here is a small example:

```ruby
branches 4
log file: 'grifork.log'
hosts ['web1.internal', 'web2.internal', 'db1.internal', 'db2.internal', ...]

local do
rsync '/path/to/myapp/'
end

remote do
rsync_remote '/path/to/myapp/'
end
```

If you run `grifork` with this _Griforkfile_, it just syncs `/path/to/myapp/` in
localhost to target `hosts` by `rsync` command.

See [example](https://github.com/key-amb/grifork/tree/master/example) directory for more examples of _Griforkfile_.

And refer to [Grifork::DSL](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/grifork/Grifork/DSL) as API document of _Griforkfile_.
