This project contains the entirety of the code/executable side of the second attempt at the Alpaca project. Currently it is made of two parts: the Alpaca Server and the Alpaca Extension.
To run the project, use the included Makefile:
$ make run
This will build a Docker container and then run the application inside of it. To run on a different port or with a different tag, run:
$ make run PORT=8888 $ make run TAG=alpaca_foo $ make run PORT=8888 TAG=alpaca_foo
Using the Alpaca Server falls into two types of usage: the runtime server and the object store. The runtime server serves html/js files that use the object store. The object store is a simple RESTful persistant database (essentially).
The runtime server is at link. The object server is at link.
With the object server, you can:
GET /store/- Retreive the list of namespaces in the store.
GET /store/:namespace/- Retrieve the list of entries in the namespace.
POST /store/:namespace/- Create a new object with an autogenerated name, using the POST body and Content-Type header.
GET /store/:namespace/:name- Retrieve the previously created object.
PUT /store/:namespace/:name- Update the given object.
