# snowballtools-base-api-stack

Stack definition for the snowball api service.

## Running this stack locally

(Assumes stack-orchestrator and docker are already installed)

### Fetch the stack repo

```
$ laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/snowballtools-base-api-stack --pull
```

### Clone project repositories

```
$ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/snowballtools-base-api-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/snowballtools-base-backend setup-repositories --git-ssh --pull
```

### Build service container

(Might take 10 minutes)

```
$ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/snowballtools-base-api-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/snowballtools-base-backend build-containers
```

### Create a deployment

A deployment is a collection of all the stuff needed to run a single instance of a stack, in this case the snowball api service.

Initialize:

```
$ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/snowballtools-base-api-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/snowballtools-base-backend deploy init --output local-deployment-spec.yml --config SNOWBALL_BACKEND_CONFIG_FILE_PATH=/config/local.toml
```
Then create:
```
$ laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/snowballtools-base-api-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/snowballtools-base-backend deploy create --deployment-dir local-deployment --spec-file local-deployment-spec.yml
```
Next create a file at `local-deployment/data/config/local.toml` with this content:
```
<redacted>
```
Finally start the service:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir local-deployment start
```
To check logs:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir local-deployment logs
```
To stop the service:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir local-deployment stop
```
