Hosts Inventory

This is a gRPC prototype for the Insights Platform. Currently using a simple Python dict to store inventory; there is no permanent storage.

Getting Started

Setting up an environment

This project uses pipenv to manage the development and deployment environments. To set the project up for development do the following:

pipenv --python 3
pipenv install --dev 

Afterwards you can activate the virtual environment by running:

pipenv shell

The next step is to generate the gRPC stubs from the .proto file:

sh build.sh

This needs to be done after any changes to proto/hbi.proto.

Running

Running tests

Just run pytest or, if you want more fancy output, pytest -vs. Make sure you run build.sh first so the gRPC stubs are generated.

Running server

To run the gRPC server, you can use the serve.py scriptlet. This uses watchdog to cycle the server after any code modifications.

python serve.py

If you want to bypass watchdog and run the server itself directly, invoke it as a module.

python -m hbi.server.grpc_server

To run a Tornado REST server, run the serve_rest.py scriptlet.

python serve_rest.py

Running client

python -m hbi.client
