# installation
charon can be installed as a docker image
```bash
# from docker hub
docker pull haumea/charon
# from gitlab
docker pull registry.gitlab.com/haondt/cicd/registry/charon:latest
```
see `docker-compose.yml` for a sample docker compose setup.
charon can also be installed as a python package
```bash
# from pypi
pip install haondt-charon
# from gitlab
pip install haondt-charon --index-url https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/57154225/packages/pypi/simple
```
# usage
start charon with:
```bash
# if installed as a python package, or if running from source
python3 -m charon
# the pypi package also includes a standlone binary
charon
# from the docker image
docker run --rm -it -v ./charon.yml:/config/charon.yml registry.gitlab.com/haondt/cicd/registry/charon:latest
```
charon will look for a config file at `charon.yml`. a different path can be specified with:
```bash
charon -f MY_CONFIG.yml
```
charon uses the `sched` library for scheduling tasks, meaning charon will exit when there are no more tasks to run. this is possible depending on the configuration.
# configuration
configuration is given as a yaml file with the following structure:
```yml
# NOTE: to use gcp buckets, charon must be run in an environment where GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS exists
gcp_buckets: # optional, configuration for gcp buckets
my_bucket:
bucket: 1234-name-of-my-bucket-in-gcp
jobs:
my_job:
source: # where data is coming from
type: type_of_source
# ...
destination: # where data is going
type: type_of_destination
# ...
schedule: # how often to run job
# ...
my_job_2:
# ...
```
see `charon.yml` for an example config.
## sources
all sources will have a few shared fields:
```yaml
source:
type: local # determines how to interpret the source config
encrypt: 4B71... # optional, 32 byte hex-encoded encryption key
```
the data from the source will be archived in a gz'd tar file. if an encryption key is provided, the tar file will then be encrypted.
below are the possible ways you can configure the source object, based on the `type` key.
**local**
this pulls from a local file
```yml
source:
type: local
path: /path/to/data # path to data to back up. can be a file or a directory. does not use variable expansion
```
**http**
performs an http request, and saves the response body to a file
```yml
source:
type: http
url: http://example.com/ # url to make request to
method: get # optional, request method, defaults to get
ext: json # optional, extension to use for saved file, defaults to txt
auth: # optional, authentication configuration
bearer: eyJhbGc... # optional, bearer token
```
**sqlite**
performs a backup on an sqlite3 db
```yml
source:
type: sqlite
db_path: /path/to/db_file.db
```
## destinations
all destinations will also have some shared fields
```yml
destination:
type: local # determines how to interpret the destination config
name: my_output # the name of the output file, can include path seperators (foo/bar)
```
**note**: the name of the file (where applicable) in the destination will be `destination.name` + a file extension determined by the source.
bewlow are the possible ways you can configure the destination object, based on the `type` key.
**local**
this pushes to a local file
```yml
destination:
type: local
path: ./foo # must be a directory, file will be created inside this dir
overwrite: false # optional, whether or not to overwrite an existing output file. defaults to false
```
**gcp_bucket**
uploads to a google cloud storage bucket. requires `gcp_buckets` to be configured, and `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` envrionment variable.
```yml
destination:
type: gcp_bucket
config: my-bucket # name of config in gcp_buckets:
```
## schedule
how often the program is run. there are a few different ways to configure the schedule
**cron**
the schedule can be configured using a cron string.
note: this program uses [croniter](https://github.com/kiorky/croniter) for scheduling with the cron format. Croniter accepts seconds, but they must be at the _end_ (right hand side) of the cron string.
```yml
schedule:
cron: "* * * * * */10" # every 10 seconds
```
**one shot**
this runs once, after the given delay. the delay is given in the `1d2h3m4s` format. numbers must be integers.
```yml
schedule:
after: 1d # wait 1 day, then run once
```
**intervals**
this runs at regular intervals, using the one shot format, starting from the time charon is run.
```yml
schedule:
every: 1h30m # run every hour and a half
```
**combinations**
you can combine schedules, for example to run immediately, and then every other day
```yml
schedule:
after: 0s
every: 2d
```
# styx
charon includes a subcommand, `styx`, that will run a job once, immediately.
```bash
charon styx apply MY_JOB
```
styx can also run the job in reverse, pulling it from the destination and dumping it to a given directory
```bash
charon styx revert MY_JOB OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
```
you can specify the config file before calling styx
```bash
charon -f MY_CONFIG.yml styx apply MY_JOB
```
see tests for more examples.
# tests
each `test*.sh` file will run some commands (must be run inside the tests folder, with a python environment set up for charon), and has a comment in the file detailing the expected output.
```bash
cd tests
./test.sh
./test2.sh
...
```
