# Microb

A microbiota where to deploy observable Go services. A service can receive and execute commands from the
[Microb terminal client](https://github.com/synw/microb-cli). Features:

- **Remote commands**: all services can have remote commands to talk to the Microb server
- **Logs**: all logs are stored in an sqlite database

#### Dependencies

- [Centrifugo](https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo): the websockets server
- [Redis](https://redis.io/): the famous in memory key/value store

#### Terminal client

A [terminal client](https://github.com/synw/microb-cli) is used to control Microb instances

## Install

```bash
go get github.com/synw/microb
```

[Install Centrifugo](https://fzambia.gitbooks.io/centrifugal/content/server/start.html) and
Redis

## Example usage

Let's do a hello world service. Create a `hello_world` Go package for your service and
a `manifest` folder in it.

### 1. Initialize the service

Create an `init.go` file in the manifest folder:

```go
package hello_world

import (
"github.com/synw/microb/libmicrob/types"
)

var Service *types.Service = &types.Service{
"hello_world", // service name
getCmds(), // function to get the service commands
initService, // function to initialize the service
}

func initService(dev bool, start bool) error {
// this service does not need anything
// special for its initialization
return nil
}
```

### 2. Create some commands

Create a `cmds.go` file in the manifest folder to define your service commands:

```go
package hello_world

import (
"github.com/synw/microb/libmicrob/types"
)

func getCmds() map[string]*types.Cmd {
cmds := make(map[string]*types.Cmd)
cmds["hello"] = hello()
return cmds
}

func hello() *types.Cmd {
// define the command and attach its running function
cmd := &types.Cmd{Name: "hello", Exec: runHello}
return cmd
}

func runHello(cmd *types.Cmd, c chan *types.Cmd) {
// this function will be run on command call
var resp []interface{}
resp = append(resp, "Hello world")
// the command will return "Hello world"
cmd.ReturnValues = resp
cmd.Status = "success"
c <- cmd
}
```

### 3. Declare the service server side

Declare the service in Microb: open `services/manifest.go` in the Microb package and
add your service:

```go
package services

import (
"github.com/synw/microb/libmicrob/types"
http "github.com/synw/microb-http/manifest"
infos "github.com/synw/microb/services/infos"
hello_world "github.com/me/hello_world/manifest"
)

var Services = map[string]*types.Service{
"infos": infos.Service,
"http": http.Service,
"hello_world": hello_world.Service,
}
```

### 4. Declare the service client side

Now declare the service client-side: `go get github.com/synw/microb-cli` and open
`services/manifest.go` to add your service in the same way:

```go
package services

import (
"github.com/synw/microb/libmicrob/types"
http "github.com/synw/microb-http/manifest"
infos "github.com/synw/microb/services/infos"
hello_world "github.com/me/hello_world/manifest"
)

var services = map[string]*types.Service{
// other services
"infos": infos.Service,
"http": http.Service,
// declare my service
"hello_world": hello_world.Service,
}
```

### 5. Update the config files

Update the client and server `config.json` to enable your service:

```
{
...
"services":["infos", "http", "hello_world"]
}
```

### Final step: compilation

Compile the client and the server and it's ready to use: sending the command `hello` from
the client will return "Hello world"

## Cli commands for the logs service

- **get**: get the last logs
- **errors**: get the last errors
- **warnings**: get the last warnings
- **cmds**: get the last commands
- **state**: get the last state changes

## Available sevices

- [Http](https://github.com/synw/microb-http): an http server
- [Mail](https://github.com/synw/microb-mail): send mails

## Stack and data flow

Example of the http service:
