This repository contains the API and storage for the Systemli Ticker Project.

Requirements

The project is written in Go. You should be familiar with the structure and organisation of the code. If not, there are some good guides.

First run

  • we provide a Makefile for clean, build, test and release the software
➜  ticker git:(master) ✗ make run
go build -o build/ticker -v
cp config.yml.dist build/config.yml
./build/ticker -config build/config.yml
INFO[0000] admin user created (change password now!)     email=admin@systemli.org password="5O.AVsHDd@Y23<aGWlxpwKiS"
INFO[0000] starting ticker at localhost:8080

Now you have a running ticker API!

Configuration

  • Example config.yml.dist
# listen binds ticker to specific address and port
listen: "localhost:8080"
# log_level sets log level for logrus
log_level: "error"
# initiator is the email for the first admin user (see password in logs)
initiator: "admin@systemli.org"
# database is the path to the bolt file
database: "ticker.db"
# secret used for JSON Web Tokens
secret: "slorp-panfil-becall-dorp-hashab-incus-biter-lyra-pelage-sarraf-drunk"
# twitter configuration
twitter_consumer_key: ""
twitter_consumer_secret: ""
# listen port for prometheus metrics exporter
metrics_listen: ":8181"
# path where to store the uploaded files
upload_path: "/path/to/uploads"
# base url for uploaded assets
upload_url: "http://localhost:8080"

We use viper. That means you can use any of the supported file formats. Env variables will overwrite existing config file values. Note that every env variable MUST be prefixed by: TICKER_. E.g. TICKER_DATABASE.

The following env vars can be used:

  • TICKER_DATABASE
  • TICKER_LISTEN
  • TICKER_LOG_LEVEL
  • TICKER_INITIATOR
  • TICKER_SECRET
  • TICKER_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
  • TICKER_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • TICKER_METRICS_LISTEN
  • TICKER_UPLOAD_PATH
  • TICKER_UPLOAD_URL

Testing
