Service Package Overview
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
Let's start at a high level. What actually is a service, in a technical sense, on the Embassy?
|
|
|
|
Each service is an image. An image is a snapshot of a linux environment in which an application runs. All service application data is stored in a volume directory. This volume is persisted across updates. The image is immutable: when the service is updated, the image is replaced with the complete new image containing the updated features.
|
|
|
|
The volume directory (for seeding data into the volume) is typically: ``/root/volumes/<serviceId>``.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
Any files that are in the image at the volume path will be overwritten when a backup restore occurs.
|
|
|
|
A service is mounted to the EmbassyOS image. Each service application gets a volume allocated to it by EmbassyOS. Within the Docker container that encompasses the service image, a path is specified as to where it should mount on EmbassyOS. This path is specified in the :ref:`manifest <service_manifest>`.
|
|
|
|
The config spec, config rules, and manifest get bundled into the ``.s9pk`` package, `built using appmgr <https://github.com/Start9Labs/appmgr>`_. Each new version release should include the updated version of these files re-bundled into a new binary.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Due to tech debt, code in appmgr may reference ``app-id`` instead of ``service-id``.
|
|
|
|
Environment Setup
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
At minimum, docker, docker-builx, and appmgr are required to package a service for EmbassyOS.
