Status (master branch)

What is it ?

This is the storage module of the metwork framework.

Quickstart

Prerequisites

• mfbase module installed (see documentation)

When mfbase is installed, the command ls /opt |grep mfbase must return something.

mfbase user

The following is done as mfbase user (there is no default password, change it with passwd mfbase command as root user if you want or use su - mfbase from root to log in as mfbase user.

When you are in mfbase user, you must see a MetWork welcome screen on your terminal like:

           __  __      ___          __        _
          |  \/  |    | \ \        / /       | |
          | \  / | ___| |\ \  /\  / /__  _ __| | __
          | |\/| |/ _ \ __\ \/  \/ / _ \| '__| |/ /
          | |  | |  __/ |_ \  /\  / (_) | |  |   <

When you see that in your terminal, you can continue.

Creating your first plugin

Use the command bootstrap_plugin.py create foo to bootstrap a plugin named foo.

After answering the questions, you have a foo directory in your current directory.

These are the sources of your newly created plugin. Go inside with cd foo.

Releasing your first plugin

Use the command make release inside your foo directory. You get a .plugin file in the foo directory.

Installing your first plugin

Use the command plugins.install [...].plugin to install your plugin.

This will create:

• a plugin_foo postgresql database
• a plugin_foo postgresql username (with full rights on plugin_foo database)
• a default password: plugin_foo for plugin_foo username

Testing your database

As the default port for the mfbase postgresql server is 7432, you can connect to your newly created database with this command:

psql -U plugin_foo -h localhost -p 7432 plugin_foo
# (use plugin_foo as password when prompted)

or by configuring your favorite postgresql client to:

hostname: your_mfbase_host
username: plugin_foo
password: plugin_foo
port: 7432
database: plugin_foo
