juju/charmstore

Store and publish Juju charms.

Installation

To start using the charm store, first ensure you have a valid Go environment, then run the following:

go get -d gopkg.in/juju/charmstore.v5-unstable
cd $GOPATH/gopkg.in/juju/charmstore.v5-unstable

Go dependencies

The project uses godeps (https://launchpad.net/godeps) to manage Go dependencies. To install this, run:

go get launchpad.net/godeps

After installing it, you can update the dependencies to the revision specified in the dependencies.tsv file with the following:

make deps

Use make create-deps to update the dependencies file.

Development environment

A couple of system packages are required in order to set up a charm store development environment. To install them, run the following:

make sysdeps

To run the elasticsearch tests you must run an elasticsearch server. If the elasticsearch server is running at an address other than localhost:9200 then set JUJU_TEST_ELASTICSEARCH=<host>:<port> where host and port provide the address of the elasticsearch server. If you do not wish to run the elasticsearh tests, set JUJU_TEST_ELASTICSEARCH=none.

At this point, from the root of this branch, run the command::

make install

The command above builds and installs the charm store binaries, and places them in $GOPATH/bin. This is the list of the installed commands:

• charmd: start the charm store server;
• essync: synchronize the contents of the Elastic Search database with the charm store.

A description of each command can be found below.

Testing

Run make check to test the application. Run make help to display help about all the available make targets.

Charmstore server

Once the charms database is fully populated, it is possible to interact with charm data using the charm store server. It can be started with the following command:

charmd -logging-config INFO cmd/charmd/config.yaml

The same result can be achieved more easily by running make server. Note that this configuration should not be used when running a production server, as it uses a known password for authentication.

At this point the server starts listening on port 8080 (as specified in the config YAML file).
