oidfed-collector 0.3.1

Entity collection endpoint for OpenID Federation

oidfed-collector: The OpenID Federation Entity Collection Service

This project implements the OpenID Federation Entity Collection specification.

Installation

To install the oidfed-collector, you can use pip or Docker.

Using pip

pip install oidfed_collector

Using Docker

docker pull ddgu/oidfed-collector:latest

Configuration

The service accepts a configuration file in JSON format. You can specify the configuration file using the CONFIG environment variable. By default, it looks for config.json in the current directory. The repository includes an example configuration file config.json. You can modify it according to your needs. Here is an example configuration with the default values:

{
    "port": 12345,
    "log_level": "info",
    "api_base_url": "/collection",
    "cache": {
        "ttl": 300,
        "max_size": 1000,
        "cleanup_interval": 60
    },
    "session": {
        "max_concurrent_requests": 100,
        "ttl": 30
    }
}

• The port specifies the port on which the service will run.
• The log_level can be set to debug, info, warning, error, or critical.
• The api_base_url is the base URL for the API endpoints.
• The cache section configures the caching behavior, including time-to-live (ttl), maximum size in items, and cleanup interval.
• The session section configures HTTP session management, including maximum concurrent requests and session time-to-live (ttl).

Running the Service

To run the service, you can run it directly as a Python module or from a Docker container.

Using Python

python -m oidfed_collector

Using Docker

docker run -d -p 12345:12345 -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config.json ddgu/oidfed-collector:latest

We also provide a docker-compose.yaml file for easier deployment, which mounts the configuration file from the current directory. Modify to your needs and use it as follows:

docker-compose up -d

Usage

Once the service is running, you can access the API at http://localhost:12345/collection. The service supports a single endpoint for entity collection as defined in the OpenID Federation Entity Collection specification.

Development

To contribute to the development of oidfed-collector, you can clone the repository and install the dependencies using poetry:

git clone https://github.com/dianagudu/oidfed-collector.git
cd oidfed-collector
poetry install

You can then run the service locally:

poetry run oidfed-collector

If you wish to build the Docker image locally, note that we provide a multi-stage Dockerfile, with separate targets for development and production. You can build it with:

docker build --target development -t oidfed-collector:dev .
docker build --target production -t oidfed-collector:latest .
