Source code structure

The source code of Kraken is divided in several folders:

• backend: this folder contains a Gradle multi-modules project that build all Java backends of Kraken,
• deployment: private Git sub-module used to create and deploy all Docker containers,
• development: contains shell scripts and docker-compose configuration to start the InfluxDb/Grafana stack in dev mode,
• documentation: private Git sub-module that builds Kraken's documentation,
• frontend: this folder contains an Angular project with several libraries and two applications: administration and gatling.

Prerequisites

• Requires the make command sudo apt-get install build-essential
• Requires docker
• Requires docker compose
• Requires the JDK 11

Run the application from the source code

To run Kraken from the source code you need to:

1. Start the development stack of InfluxDB/Grafana

• cd development
• ./up.sh

2. Start the backend servers

• cd backend
• make copy-data (one time only)
• make serve-storage
• make serve-command
• make serve-docker
• make serve-static
• make serve-analysis

3. Start the frontend applications

• cd frontend
• make setup (one time only)
• make serve APP=gatling
• make serve APP=administration

Tests and bug finders

Frontend

• ./test-coverage-all to generate test coverage for the complete project,
• make test APP=<library-or-app> to run tests for a single module (for example make test APP=commons),
• make lint to run TSLint on the whole project.

Backend

• make check to run all unit tests and SpotBugs,
• make test APP=<module-path> to run unit test for a single sub-module (for example make test APP=:commons:docker-client).
