Overview for developers/contributors

You should have read the entire README.md once before starting to work on Keppel's codebase. This document assumes that you did that already.

Testing methodology

In the following parts is described how to run Keppel locally and the test suite.

Run Keppel locally

You can start Keppel locally with make run-api but without the correct environment variables in the .env file it will stop really fast.

The content of an .env file to get Keppel up and running is shown below:

export KEPPEL_API_PUBLIC_FQDN=localhost
export KEPPEL_API_PUBLIC_URL=http://localhost:8080
export KEPPEL_DB_CONNECTION_OPTIONS=sslmode=disable
export KEPPEL_DB_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
export KEPPEL_DRIVER_AUTH='{"type":"trivial","params":{"username":"johndoe","password":"SuperSecret"}}'
export KEPPEL_DRIVER_FEDERATION='{"type":"trivial"}'
export KEPPEL_DRIVER_INBOUND_CACHE='{"type":"trivial"}'
export KEPPEL_DRIVER_STORAGE='{"type":"filesystem","params":{"path":"./keppel"}}'
export KEPPEL_ISSUER_KEY=./privkey.pem

In addition to that the following extra steps are required:

  • A private key in PEM format is required to sign auth token for Docker clients. It can be generated with openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 4096.
  • A local postgresql instance. You can start one in docker with the following command: docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e POSTGRES_DB=keppel -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 -d postgres

Run the test suite

Run the full test suite with:

$ ./testing/with-postgres-db.sh make check

This will produce a coverage report at build/cover.html.

Code structure

Once compiled, Keppel is only a single binary containing subcommands for the various components. This reduces the size of the compiled application dramatically since a lot of code is shared. The main entrypoint is in main.go, from which everything else follows.

The main.go is fairly compact. The entrypoints for the respective subcommands are below cmd/, and the bulk of the code is below internal/, organized into packages as follows: (listed roughly from the bottom up)

Package go test Contents
internal/keppel no base data types, configuration parsing, driver interfaces, various utility methods
internal/test no test doubles etc.
internal/auth no reusable parts of the authentication workflow (mostly regarding the token-based auth workflow used by the Registry API)
internal/processor no reusable parts of the API server implementation
internal/tasks yes implementation of the janitor tasks
internal/client yes library for client-side access to Keppel's APIs (used by client commands and by replication)
internal/api/auth yes implementation of the authentication workflow of the Distribution API
internal/api/keppel yes implementation of the Keppel API
internal/api/registry yes implementation of the Distribution API
internal/drivers no driver implementations (not covered by unit tests)
