Introduction

⚠️ Warning: The project is actively being worked on and is very much still incomplete. Some things may not work as expected or not at all.

---

Vita allows you to split your tasks in scripts and execute them in varying schedules (like cron). The project is completely modular and all its components are split into their own crates see crates.

Crates

The project is made up of the following crates. The crates are as minimal as possible and have little to no dependencies:

vita-scheduler

Inspired by clockwerk

Allows for intuitive syntax/schedule creation like the following:

let scheduler = schedule_every! {
    1.week(), 1.day() => {
        println!("Every week and every day!!")
    },
    
    1.day() + 4.hour() => {
        println!("Every 28 hours!")
    }

    Monday.midnight() => {
        println!("Every Monday at midnight!")
    },
}

vita-socket

An abstraction on top of Unix Sockets (UDS), allowing for inter-communication between the server and the clients

vita-daemon

vita-daemon employs New-Style Daemons for the server, as the scheduler and executor should always be active as a background process

vita-parser

Installation

To begin, clone the repository and cd into its directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/douris/vita
...

$ cd vita/ 

Build and run binaries

The program is split in two binaries for now:

• Server

  $ cargo build --release --manifest-path=./Cargo.toml --bin=vita-server

• Client

  $ cargo build --release --manifest-path=./Cargo.toml --bin=vita-client

In the end, 2 binaries will be created vita-server and vita-client and both can be found at ./target/release/

To run the binaries directly, cd into the above directory and run:

$ ./vita-server 

# or

$ ./vita-client

Alternatively, you can run directly with Cargo

• Server

  $ cargo run --release --manifest-path=./Cargo.toml --bin=vita-server

• Client

  $ cargo run --release --manifest-path=./Cargo.toml --bin=vita-client
