## Purpose
provs provides cli-based tools for
* provisioning a desktop (various kinds)
* provisioning a k3s server
* performing system checks
Tasks can be run locally or remotely.
## Status
under development - we are working hard on setting up our environments using provs.
## Try out
### Prerequisites
* A **Java Virtual machine** (JVM) is required.
* Install `jarwrapper` (e.g. `sudo apt install jarwrapper`)
* Then either download the binaries or build them yourself
#### Download the binaries
* Download the latest `provs-desktop.jar`,`provs-server.jar` and/or `provs-syspec.jar` from: https://gitlab.com/domaindrivenarchitecture/provs/-/releases
* Preferably into `/usr/local/bin` or any other folder where executables can be found by the system
* Make the jar-file executable e.g. by `chmod +x provs-desktop.jar`
#### Build the binaries
Instead of downloading the binaries you can build them yourself
* Clone this repository
* In the repository's root folder execute: `./gradlew install`. This will install the binaries in `/usr/local/bin`
### Provision a desktop
After having installed `provs-desktop.jar` (see prerequisites) execute:
`provs-desktop.jar []`
**type** can be:
* basic - install some basic packages)
* office - install office software (LibreOffice), E-Mail (Thunderbird), etc
* ide - same as office with additionally ide-software (VSCode, IntelliJ, etc)
**target** can be:
* `local`
* remote, e.g. `user123:mypassword@myhost.com` - general format is: -
* be sure to have openssh-server installed
* add your preferred public key to known_hosts on the target machine
* if password is omitted, then ssh-keys will be used for authentication
* if password is omitted but option `-p` is provided, then the password will be prompted interactively
**options**
* `-p` for interactive password question
#### Example
```bash
provs-desktop.jar basic local
# or an office desktop remote:
provs-desktop.jar office myuser@myhost.com -p
```
In the second case you'll be prompted for the password of the remote user due to option `-p`.
### Provision a k3s Server
```bash
provs-server.jar k3s local
# or remote:
provs-server.jar k3s myuser@myhost.com # using ssh-authentication - alternatively use option -p for password authentication
```
For the remote server please configure a config file (default file name: server-config.yaml).
It has to be in the same folder where you execute the provs-server.jar command.
```yaml
fqdn: "myhostname.com"
node:
ipv4: "192.168.56.123" # ip address
echo: true # for demo reasons only - deploys an echo app
```
To add a grafana agent to your k3s installation add the following to the config:
```yaml
grafana:
user: "myusername" # username for the grafana data source
password:
source: "PLAIN" # PLAIN, GOPASS or PROMPT
parameter: "mypassword" # the password or api key for the grafana data source user
cluster: "mycluster" # a cluster name of your choice
```
To provision the grafana agent only to an existing k8s system, ensure that the config (as above) is available and execute:
```bash
provs-server.jar k3s myuser@myhost.com -o grafana
```
### Perform a system check
The default config-file for the system check is `syspec-config.yaml`, you can specify a different file with option `-c `.
```bash
provs-syspec.jar local
# or remote with a custom config filename
provs-syspec.jar myuser@myhost.com -c my-syspec-config.yaml
```
## Get help
To get help you can make use of the `-h` option:
```bash
provs-desktop.jar -h
provs-server.jar -h
provs-syspec.jar -h
```
Or to get help for subcommands e.g.
```bash
provs-desktop.jar ide -h
provs-server.jar k3s -h
```
