Inside Out HTTP Job Proxy

"Don't call us, we call you!"

(https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hollywood_principle)

Allows to stream jobs from a long polling server to the proxy, which turns them into outgoing HTTP Requests.

Proxy

All options:

inside_out_proxy --helpfull

Example:

inside_out_proxy --user=foo --password="$PW" --jobserver="https://..."

Testserver

Included is a test server which allows to check the correct working of the client.

./testserver.py --help

shows its options.

Testrun

This will start the testserver on localhost port 8089, returning jobs from playbook "prod":

./testserver.py --playbook prod --loops=1000 --debug

Now we connect the proxy with default settings:

inside_out_proxy --debug
