# OVDashboard API
|
|
|
|
This API enables the OVDashboard UI to run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
If you only want a working installation, it is highly recommended to use the `docker` image at [`TODO`](TODO).
|
|
The image contains both the API and UI.
|
|
Refer to the [main README](../README.md) for an in-depth how-to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup for development and contribution
|
|
|
|
No need to fiddle around with specific python versions or even `virtualenv`s.
|
|
You only need a "general purpose" development setup to get this project up and running for debug and contribution purposes:
|
|
|
|
- [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
|
|
- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
|
|
- [Remote - Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) (VSCode extension)
|
|
|
|
Once you open this directory in VSCode, you should be prompted to reopen it in a development container.
|
|
If not, hit `Ctrl+Alt+P` and search for "reopen in container".
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running the API without the `docker` image
|
|
|
|
> You probably don't need this! Usually the image is good enough!
|
|
|
|
However, if you want to deploy the API on a cluster or with custom ASGI workers and/or process managers, go ahead.
|
|
First, install the `ovdashboard_api` python package.
|
|
Then you can:
|
|
|
|
- use `uvicorn` or another ASGI runner to start the app object `ovdashboard_api:app` <br />
|
|
Example: `uvicorn 'ovdashboard_api:app'`
|
|
- run the provided `ovdashboard-api` script – this is basically a shorthand for `uvicorn`
|
|
- use `gunicorn` or another application server with ASGI workers <br />
|
|
Example (ASGI workers provided by `uvicorn`): `gunicorn 'ovdashboard_api:app' --worker-class 'uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker'`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The OVDashboard API is configured using environment variables or an `.env` file in the directory which it is run from.
|
|
Refer to the [main README](../README.md) for the list of variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing the `ovdashboard_api` python package
|
|
|
|
If `git` is installed, install `ovdashboard_api` directly using this command:
|
|
|
|
python3 -m pip install 'git+https://TODO#egg=ovdashboard_api&subdirectory=api'
|
|
|
|
If installing `git` is not an option, just [download and extract this repository's archive](TODO), then use your local path instead of the `git+https://` URL for `pip install`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Refer to your distribution's manual for how to install these dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.9 with pip <br />
|
|
If `python3 --version` shows "Python 3.9" or later, and `python3 -m pip` does execute, your setup is working.
|
|
- git (recommended)
|
|
- libmagic
