Documentation

Overview

Package backend provides the compute instance backends supported by Worker.

Other code will primarily interact with this package by creating a Provider implementation and creating Instances. An example using the "fake" provider (error handling omitted):

provider := backend.NewBackendProvider(
	"fake",
	config.ProviderConfigFromMap(map[string]string{
		"STARTUP_DURATION": "1s",
		"LOG_OUTPUT": "Hello, world!",
	}),
)

provider.Setup(ctx)

instance, _ := provider.Start(ctx, &backend.StartAttributes{
	Language: "go",
	OS: "linux",
})
defer instance.Stop(ctx)

instance.UploadScript(ctx, []byte("#!/bin/sh\necho 'Hello, world!'))
instance.RunScript(ctx, os.Stdout)

New providers should call Register in init() to register the alias it should be called with and the options it supports for the --help output.

Functions

func EachBackend

func EachBackend(f func(*Backend))

EachBackend calls a given function for each registered backend

func Register

func Register(alias, humanReadableName string, providerHelp map[string]string, providerFunc func(*config.ProviderConfig) (Provider, error))

Register adds a backend to the registry!

Types

type Backend

type Backend struct {
	Alias             string
	HumanReadableName string
	ProviderHelp      map[string]string
	ProviderFunc      func(*config.ProviderConfig) (Provider, error)
}

Backend wraps up an alias, backend provider help, and a factory func for a given backend provider wheee

type Instance

type Instance interface {
	// UploadScript uploads the given script to the instance. The script is
	// a bash script with a shebang (#!/bin/bash) line. Note that this
	// method should not be called multiple times.
	UploadScript(context.Context, []byte) error

	// RunScript runs the build script that was uploaded with the
	// UploadScript method.
	RunScript(context.Context, io.Writer) (*RunResult, error)
	Stop(context.Context) error

	// ID is used when identifying the instance in logs and such
	ID() string

	// StartupDuration is the duration between "created" and "ready"
	StartupDuration() time.Duration
}

An Instance is something that can run a build script.

type Provider

type Provider interface {
	// Setup performs whatever is necessary in order to be ready to start
	// instances.
	Setup(context.Context) error

	// Start starts an instance. It shouldn't return until the instance is
	// ready to call UploadScript on (this may, for example, mean that it
	// waits for SSH connections to be possible).
	Start(context.Context, *StartAttributes) (Instance, error)
}

Provider represents some kind of instance provider. It can point to an external HTTP API, or some process locally, or something completely different.

func NewBackendProvider

func NewBackendProvider(alias string, cfg *config.ProviderConfig) (Provider, error)

NewBackendProvider looks up a backend by its alias and returns a provider via the factory func on the registered *Backend

type RunResult

type RunResult struct {
	// The exit code of the script. Only valid if Completed is true.
	ExitCode uint8

	// Whether the script finished running or not. Can be false if there was a
	// connection error in the middle of the script run.
	Completed bool
}

RunResult represents the result of running a script with Instance.RunScript.

type StartAttributes

type StartAttributes struct {
	Language string `json:"language"`
	OsxImage string `json:"osx_image"`
	Dist     string `json:"dist"`
	Group    string `json:"group"`
	OS       string `json:"os"`

	// The VMType isn't stored in the config directly, but in the top level of
	// the job payload, see the worker.JobPayload struct.
	VMType string `json:"-"`

	// HardTimeout isn't stored in the config directly, but is injected
	// from the processor
	HardTimeout time.Duration `json:"-"`
}

StartAttributes contains some parts of the config which can be used to determine the type of instance to boot up (for example, what image to use)

func (*StartAttributes) SetDefaults

func (sa *StartAttributes) SetDefaults(lang, dist, group, os, vmType string)

SetDefaults sets any missing required attributes to the default values provided
