Skidward

Scheduler For Python Scripts

Prerequisites

The project was built with Python 3.6.7 and requires a working Postgres and Redis setup.
Please refer to your operating system's specific installation instructions per package.

  • Python 3.6.7
  • Postgres (tested on 11 and up)
  • Redis (tested on 5 and up)

Installation

  • Install the requirements

      $ pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  • Create user (called a 'role') in postgres and give it ownership over the new db Note: It is recommended to create a user with a password, even for development purposes.

      $ createuser skidwarduser
      $ createdb skidwarddb -O skidwarduser
    

The application uses environment variables to offer flexible configuration options.
Before using the application, review the configuration in the .env file to match your desired setup.
A typical connectionstring looks like this: SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI='postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@localhost/DATABASENAME'

  • Copy the .env.default file to the skidward module and rename to .env.

      $ cp .env.default skidward/.env
    
  • Migrate the database

      $ python -m skidward migrate
    
  • Publish available workers on the namespace in the database

      $ python -m skidward publish-workers
    
  • Create an admin user for use in the application

      $ python -m skidward create-admin USER_EMAIL
    

Development

  • Install the development requirements

      $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    
  • Set up the git pre-commit hook required for development

      $ pre-commit install
    

Optional: If you want to install demo-workers from a proxy, navigate to the root of your virtual environment and create a pip.conf file.

    $ touch pip.conf
    $ echo "[global]" >> pip.conf
    $ echo "extra-index-url = URL_TO_PROXY" >> pip.conf

Contributing to the documentation

All documentation is built with Sphix and can be found in the docs folder, with pages in docs/src and images located in docs/src/images.

  • Build the docs

     $ cd docs
     $ make html
    
  • Open the result in a web browser (here Firefox is used)

      $ firefox _build/html/index.html
    

Running the application

There's an admin interface provided to communicate with the application,
and then there's the backend side doing the operations.

1. Web interface

  • Point Flask to the location of the web application

      $ export FLASK_APP=skidward.web
    
  • Run the default setup (in the same session as the previous command)

      $ flask run
    

2. Scheduler side

  • Start a new scheduler process (in the fore- or background)

      $ python -m skidward start-scheduler        # Runs in your session
      $ python -m skidward start-scheduler true   # Creates a new process running in the background
