-----------------------------------------
# INSTALL PROCESS ###
To set up gsync as a service on Linux, follow the below process


### Prep the Linux OS with Python
1. Install required OS packages for Python
- **Raspberry Pi** may need Python and PIP `sudo apt install -y python-pip` as well as `sudo apt-get install libffi-dev`
- **Debian (Ubuntu)** distributions may need Python and PIP
- Install Python and PIP: `sudo apt install -y python-pip`
- **RHEL (CentOS)** distributions usually need PIP
- Install the EPEL package: `sudo yum install -y epel-release`
- Install PIP: `sudo yum install -y python-pip`


### Install GSync from source
1. Retrieve the source code repository using one of the two below methods
- **Method #1**: Install a Git client (process differs depending on OS) and clone the GSuite_Sync repository using Git `git clone https://github.com/PackeTsar/gsuite_sync.git`
- Change to the branch you want to install using `git checkout <branch_name>`
- **Method #2**: Download and extract the repository files from the [Github Repo](https://github.com/PackeTsar/gsuite_sync)
- Make sure to download the branch you want to install
2. Move into the gsuite_sync project directory `cd gsuite_sync`
3. Run the setup.py file to build the package into the ./build/ directory `python setup.py build`
4. Use PIP to install the package `pip install .`
5. Once the install completes, you should be able to run the command `gsync -h` and see the help menu. GSync is now ready to use.


### Help Output
```
usage: gsync [-h] [-v] [-gc CREDENTIAL_FILE] [-gm REGEX] [-ia IP/ADDRESS]
[-iu USERNAME] [-ip PASSWORD] [-ig GROUP_NAME] [-c CONFIG_FILE]
[-l LOG_FILE] [-d] [-fs] [-um MAC_ADDRESS] [-us SERIAL_NUMBER]
[-m]

GSuite_Sync - Sync Chromebook MAC addresses from your GSuite into Cisco ISE

-v, --version show program's version number and exit

Required Arguments:
-gc CREDENTIAL_FILE, --gsuite_credential CREDENTIAL_FILE
GSuite Credential File
-ia IP/ADDRESS, --ise_address IP/ADDRESS
ISE DNS or IP Address
-iu USERNAME, --ise_username USERNAME
ISE Login Username
-ip PASSWORD, --ise_password PASSWORD
ISE Login Password

```

### Example Config Files
Arguments can be passed in at the command line or with a config file. It is often easier to use a config file and that is what we will do for setting up the service. The `/root/credentials.json` file referenced is an API credential file for your GSuite account.

#### Example Config File (/root/config.json)
```json
{
"gsuite_credential": "/root/credentials.json",
"gsuite_path_match": "SOMEREGEXPATHMATCH",
"ise_address": "192.168.1.100",
"ise_username": "admin",
"ise_password": "admin123",
"ise_group": "my_special_group",
"logfiles": ["/etc/gsync/logs.log"]
}
```

### Create the Service File

Use VI to create a new file (`vi /etc/init.d/gsync`) and insert the below BASH script for the file contents

```sh
#!/bin/bash
# gsync daemon
# chkconfig: 345 20 80
# description: gsync Daemon
# processname: gsync

DAEMON_PATH="/bin/"

DAEMON=gsync
STDOUTFILE=/etc/gsync/stdout.log
STDERR=/etc/gsync/stderr.log

NAME=gsync
DESC="gsync Daemon"
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME

case "$1" in
start)
printf "%-50s" "Starting $NAME..."
cd $DAEMON_PATH
PID=`stdbuf -o0 $DAEMON -c /root/config.json -m >> $STDOUTFILE 2>>$STDERR & echo $!`
#echo "Saving PID" $PID " to " $PIDFILE
if [ -z $PID ]; then
printf "%s
" "Fail"
else
echo $PID > $PIDFILE
printf "%s
" "Ok"
fi
;;
status)
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
if [ -z "`ps axf | grep ${PID} | grep -v grep`" ]; then
printf "%s
" "Process dead but pidfile exists"
else
echo "$DAEMON (pid $PID) is running..."
fi
else
printf "%s
" "$DAEMON is stopped"
fi
;;
stop)
printf "%-50s" "Stopping $NAME"
PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
cd $DAEMON_PATH
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
kill -HUP $PID
printf "%s
" "Ok"
rm -f $PIDFILE
else
printf "%s
" "pidfile not found"
fi
;;

restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;

*)
echo "Usage: $0 {status|start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

```



### Finish and Start Up Service
```
chmod 777 /etc/init.d/gsync
chkconfig gsync on
service gsync start
service gsync status
```
