Developers' Quick Start

To quickly get started with this project, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you ahev installed the latest Go version and Python3 for some extra tests.
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/tecnickcom/rndpwd.git.
3. Change into the project directory: cd rndpwd.
4. Install the required dependencies and test everything: DEVMODE=LOCAL make x.

Now you are ready to start developing with rndpwd!

This project includes a Makefile that allows you to test and build the project in a Linux-compatible system with simple commands.
All the artifacts and reports produced using this Makefile are stored in the target folder.

Alternatively, everything can be built inside a Docker container using the command make dbuild that uses the environment defined at resources/docker/Dockerfile.dev.

To see all available options:

make help

Running all tests

Before committing the code, please check if it passes all tests using

make x

that is an alias for:

DEVMODE=LOCAL make format clean mod deps generate qa build docker dockertest

Documentation

The README.md and doc/RUNBOOK.md documentation files are generated using the source templates in doc/src via make gendoc command.

To update links and common information edit the file doc/src/config.yaml in YAML format. The schema of the configuration file is defined by the JSON schema: doc/src/config.schema.json. The document templates are defined by the *.tmpl files in gomplate-compatible format.

To regenerate the static documentation file:

make gendoc

Usage

rndpwd [flags]

Flags:

-c, --configDir  string  Configuration directory to be added on top of the search list
-f, --logFormat  string  Logging format: CONSOLE, JSON
-o, --loglevel   string  Log level: EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG

Examples

Once the application has being compiled with make build, it can be quickly tested:

target/usr/bin/rndpwd -c resources/test/etc/rndpwd

Logs

This program logs the log messages in JSON format:

{
	"level": "info",
	"timestamp": 1595942715776382171,
	"msg": "Request",
	"program": "rndpwd",
	"version": "0.0.0",
	"release": "0",
    "hostname":"myserver",
	"request_id": "c4iah65ldoyw3hqec1rluoj93",
	"request_method": "GET",
	"request_path": "/uid",
	"request_query": "",
	"request_uri": "/uid",
	"request_useragent": "curl/7.69.1",
	"remote_ip": "[::1]:36790",
	"response_code": 200,
	"response_message": "OK",
	"response_status": "success",
	"response_data": "avxkjeyk43av"
}

Logs are sent to stderr by default.

The log level can be set either in the configuration or as command argument (logLevel).

Metrics

This service provides Prometheus metrics at the /metrics endpoint.

Profiling

This service provides PPROF profiling data at the /pprof endpoint.

The pprof data can be analyzed and displayed using the pprof tool:

go get github.com/google/pprof

Example:

pprof -seconds 10 -http=localhost:8182 http://INSTANCE_URL:PORT/pprof/profile

OpenAPI

The rndpwd API is specified via the OpenAPI 3 file: openapi.yaml.

The openapi file can be edited using the Swagger Editor:

docker pull swaggerapi/swagger-editor
docker run -p 8056:8080 swaggerapi/swagger-editor

and pointing the Web browser to http://localhost:8056

Docker

To build a Docker scratch container for the rndpwd executable binary execute the following command:

make docker

Useful Docker commands

To manually create the container you can execute:

docker build --tag="tecnickcom/rndpwddev" .

To log into the newly created container:

docker run -t -i tecnickcom/rndpwddev /bin/bash

To get the container ID:

CONTAINER_ID=`docker ps -a | grep tecnickcom/rndpwddev | cut -c1-12`

To delete the newly created docker container:

docker rm -f $CONTAINER_ID

To delete the docker image:

docker rmi -f tecnickcom/rndpwddev

To delete all containers

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

To delete all images

docker rmi $(docker images -q)
