Service Wrapper
***************

Each service is bound with a wrapper repository, which contains everything you need to build a service.

The purpose of this repo is:

- Denote any dependencies required to run and build the project
- To define the necessary, ``config_rules.yaml``, ``config_spec.yaml`` and ``manifest.yaml`` options
- To build the project into the ``.s9pk`` format digestible to EmbassyOS
- Link to the source project as a git submodule
- Define the docker file for running the project on EmbassyOS
- Provide documentation for the project, especially user runbook instructions
- symlink of ``instructions.md`` from ``docs`` directory to wrapper repo root, if included

File Structure
==============

The project structure should be used as a model:

.. code-block:: bash

    ├── Dockerfile
    ├── Makefile (optional)
    ├── README.md
    ├── config_rules.yaml
    ├── config_spec.yaml
    ├── <submodule_project_dir>
    ├── docker_entrypoint.sh
    ├── docs
    │   └── instructions.md
    └── manifest.yaml

Submodule
==========

`Git submodules <https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules>`_ allow use of another project while in the working project directory. Setting up this feature enables linking of the source service repository so that its context is available.

Run ``git submodule add <link_to_source_project>``
