rfd-api

Backend services and tools for processing and managing RFDs

Setup

To start with there are few dependencies for running the RFD API. Notably the RFD API is broken up in to two applications, the rfd-api and the rfd-processor. See [README.md] for more information on the distinctions.

Dependencies

General

  • Rust 1.77
  • Postgres 14

Processor

  • Asciidoctor 2.0.16
  • Node 20.11.0
  • NPM Packages:
  • Ruby 3.0.2
  • Ruby Gems:
    • asciidoctor-mermaid 0.4.1
    • asciidoctor-pdf 2.3.10
    • mmdc 10.6.1
    • rouge 4.2.0

Optional

  • Meilisearch (if search is to be supported)

Build

Run cargo build --release to build all of the project binaries. Two binaries will be generated and emitted at:

  • target/release/rfd-api
  • target/release/rfd-processor

Installation

Once all of the dependencies have been installed, database migrations will need to be run to prepare the database tables. These can be run using the diesel cli .

To run them:

cd rfd-model
DATABASE_URL=<database-url> diesel migration run

Replace <database-url> with the url to the Postgres instance that the API and processor will be configured to run against.

Configuration

Each part (the api and processor) has its own configuration file, and the respective application directories have example files called config.example.toml. Where possible the define either default values, or disabled options.

API

The two sections in the API configuration to pay attention to are the [[keys]] and [[authn]] configurations.

[[keys]] define the key pairs used to sign API keys and session tokens. Two sources are supported for keys, either local or GCP Cloud KMS. Placeholder configurations are provided for both sources as examples. During local development it is recommended to generate a new RSA key pair locally for use.

[[authn]] is a list of authentication providers that should be enabled. Google and GitHub are the only authentication providers supported currently and placeholders are available in the API example configuration.

For local development remote authentication can be bypassed by using the local-dev feature. Instead of using a remote authentication provider, the API can be run via:

cargo run -p rfd-api --features local-dev

This will run the API with a POST /login/local endpoint exposed. This endpoint allows for logging in with an arbitrary email and user supplied unique identifier. To use this with the CLI, the local-dev feature will need to be passed to the CLI build.

cargo run -p rfd-cli --features local-dev

Processor

The processor has multiple jobs that are able to be run, and configuration is only required for jobs that are going to be run. The actions key defines the jobs that should be run. By default all jobs are disabled. In this this mode the processor will only construct a database of RFDs.
