Grid proxy server

Interact with TFgridDB using rest APIs

Run for Development & Testing

$ make help

To list all the available tasks for running:

• Database
• Server
• Tests

Prerequisites

• A msgbusd instance must be running on the node. This client uses RMB (message bus) to send messages to nodes, and get the responses.
• A valid MNEMONICS.
• yggdrasil service running with a valid ip assigned to the MNEMONICS on polkadot.
• Golang compiler > 1.13 to run the grid proxy server.
• Postgres database

Generate swagger doc files

• Install swag and export to exec path

  go install github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest
  export PATH=$(go env GOPATH)/bin:$PATH
  

• Run make docs.

Build

GIT_COMMIT=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0) && \
cd cmds/proxy_server && CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -ldflags "-w -s -X main.GitCommit=$GIT_COMMIT -extldflags '-static'"  -o server

Development Run

• Start the msgbus with your MNEMONICS ID

  msgbusd --mnemonics "YOUR MNEMONICS" --substrate "wss://tfchain.dev.grid.tf"
  

• To run in development envornimnet see here how to generate test db or load a db dump then use:

  go run cmds/proxy_server/main.go --address :8080 --log-level debug -no-cert --postgres-host 127.0.0.1 --postgres-db tfgrid-graphql --postgres-password postgres --postgres-user postgres
  

• all server Options:

Option	Description
-address	Server ip address (default ":443")
-ca	certificate authority used to generate certificate (default "https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory")
-cert-cache-dir	path to store generated certs in (default "/tmp/certs")
-domain	domain on which the server will be served
-email	email address to generate certificate with
-log-level	log level [debug|info|warn|error|fatal|panic] (default "info")
-no-cert	start the server without certificate
-postgres-db	postgres database
-postgres-host	postgres host
-postgres-password	postgres password
-postgres-port	postgres port (default 5432)
-postgres-user	postgres username
-redis	redis url (default "tcp://127.0.0.1:6379")
-substrate-user	substrate url (default"wss://tfchain.dev.grid.tf/ws")
-rmb-timeout	timeout for rmb requests (default 30 seconds)
-v	shows the package version

• Then visit http://localhost:8080/<endpoint>

Production Run

• Start the msgbus systemd service with a machine MNEMONICS linked to its yggdrasil IP or public ip if there, download and more info

• Download the latest binary here

• add the execution permission to the binary and move it to the bin directory

  chmod +x ./gridproxy-server
  mv ./gridproxy-server /usr/local/bin/gridproxy-server
  

• Add a new systemd service

# create msgbus service
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/gridproxy-server.service

• enable the service

   systemctl enable gridproxy.service
  

• start the service

  systemctl start gridproxy.service
  

• check the status

  systemctl status gridproxy.service
  

• The command options:

  • domain: the host domain which will generate ssl certificate to.
  • email: the mail used to run generate the ssl certificate.
  • ca: certificate authority server url
  • substrate: substrate websocket link.
  • postgre-*: postgres connection info.

To upgrade the machine

• just replace the binary with the new one and apply

systemctl restart gridproxy-server.service

• it you have changes in the /etc/systemd/system/gridproxy-server.service you have to run this command first

systemctl daemon-reload

Dockerfile

• get public and private key for a yggdrasil configuration

To build & run dockerfile

docker build -t threefoldtech/gridproxy .
docker run --name gridproxy -e MNEMONICS="" -e SUBSTRATE="wss://tfchain.dev.grid.tf/ws" -e PUBLIC_KEY="5011157c2451b238c99247b9f0793f66e5b77998272c00676d23767fe3d576d8" -e PRIVATE_KEY="ff5b3012dbec23e86e2fde7dcd3c951781e87fe505be225488b50a6bb27662f75011157c2451b238c99247b9f0793f66e5b77998272c00676d23767fe3d576d8" -e POSTGRES_HOST="127.0.0.1" -e POSTGRES_PORT="5432" -e POSTGRES_DB="db" -e POSTGRES_USER="postgres" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="password" -e RMB_TIMEOUT="30" --cap-add=NET_ADMIN threefoldtech/gridproxy
