buildly

A gateway and service discovery system for “micro” services. A light weight Gateway that connects all of your data services, API’s and endpoints to a single easy-to-use URL.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

• Docker version 19+

Installing

Build first the image:

docker-compose build # --no-cache to force dependencies installation

To run the webserver (go to 127.0.0.1:8080):

docker-compose up # -d for detached

User: admin Password: admin.

To run the webserver with pdb support:

docker-compose run --rm --service-ports buildly

Running the tests

To run the tests without flake8:

docker-compose run --entrypoint '/usr/bin/env' --rm buildly bash scripts/run-tests.sh --keepdb

To run the tests like if it was CI with flake8:

docker-compose run --entrypoint '/usr/bin/env' --rm buildly bash scripts/run-tests.sh --ci

See pytest --help for more options.

Deployment

The instructions in the next three subsections Configure the API authentication, Generating RSA keys, and Configuration will explain how to configure a Buildly Core instance to have it on a live system.

Configure the API authentication

All clients interact with our API using the OAuth2 protocol. In order to configure it, go to admin/oauth2_provider/application/ and add a new application there.

Generating RSA keys

For using JWT as authentication method, we need to configure public and private RSA keys.

The following commands will generate a public and private key. The private key will stay in Buildly and the public one will be supplied to microservices in order to verify the authenticity of the message:

$ openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
$ openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of buildly and their default values.

Specify each parameter using -e, --env, and --env-file flags to set simple (non-array) environment variables to docker run. For example,

$ docker run -e MYVAR1 --env MYVAR2=foo \
    --env-file ./env.list \
    buildly/buildly:<version>
