django-orchestra/docs

Quick start

0. Install orchestra following any of these methods:
   1. PIP-only, Fast deployment setup (demo)
   2. Docker container (development)
   3. Install on current system (production)
1. Add the servers that you want to manage on /admin/orchestration/servers and copy orchestra's SSH pubkey to them orchestra@panel:~ ssh-copy-id root@server.address
2. Now configure service by service (domains, databases, webapps, websites...):
   1. Add the route through /admin/orchestration/route/
   2. Check and configure related settings on /admin/settings/setting/
   3. Configure related resources if needed /resources/resource/, like Account Disc limit and traffic.
   4. Test that everything works by creating and deleting services
   5. Do the same for the other services
3. Configure billing by adding services /admin/services/service/add/ and plans /admin/plans/plan/
   1. Once a service is created hit the Update orders button

Creating new services

1. Think about if the service can fit into one of the existing models like: SaaS or WebApps, refere to the related documentation if that is the case.
2. Create a new django app using startapp management command. For ilustrational purposes we will create a crontab services that will allow orchestra to manage user-based crontabs.
    `python3 manage.py startapp crontabs`
3. Add the new *crontabs* app to the `INSTALLED_APPS` in your project's `settings.py`
3. Create a `models.py` file with the data your service needs to keep in order to be managed by orchestra
```python

from django.db import models

class CrontabSchedule(models.Model): account = models.ForeignKey('accounts.Account', verbose_name=("account")) minute = models.CharField(("minute"), max_length=64, default='') hour = models.CharField(_("hour"), max_length=64, default='') day_of_week = models.CharField(("day of week"), max_length=64, default='*') day_of_month = models.CharField(("day of month"), max_length=64, default='') month_of_year = models.CharField(_("month of year"), max_length=64, default='')

class Meta:
    ordering = ('month_of_year', 'day_of_month', 'day_of_week', 'hour', 'minute')

def __str__(self):
    rfield = lambda f: f and str(f).replace(' ', '') or '*'
    return "{0} {1} {2} {3} {4} (m/h/d/dM/MY)".format(
        rfield(self.minute), rfield(self.hour), rfield(self.day_of_week),
        rfield(self.day_of_month), rfield(self.month_of_year),
    )

class Crontab(models.Model): account = models.ForeignKey('accounts.Account', verbose_name=("account")) schedule = models.ForeignKey(CrontabSchedule, verbose_name=("schedule")) description = models.CharField(("description"), max_length=256, blank=True) command = models.TextField(("content"))

def __str__(self):
    return (self.description or self.command)[:32]

    
    4. Create a `admin.py` to enable the admin interface
        ```python
        from django.contrib import admin
        from .models import CrontabSchedule, Crontab

        class CrontabScheduleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            pass

        class CrontabAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            pass

        admin.site.register(CrontabSchedule, CrontabScheduleAdmin)
        admin.site.register(Crontab, CrontabAdmin)
    
    
    5. Create a `api.py` to enable the REST API.
    6. Create a `backends.py` fiel with the needed backends for service orchestration and monitoring
        ```python
        import os
        import textwrap
        from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
        from orchestra.contrib.orchestration import ServiceController, replace
        from orchestra.contrib.resources import ServiceMonitor

        class UNIXCronBackend(ServiceController):
            """
            Basic UNIX cron support.
            """
            verbose_name = _("UNIX cron")
            model = 'crons.CronTab'
            
            def prepare(self):
                super(UNIXCronBackend, self).prepare()
                self.accounts = set()
            
            def save(self, crontab):
                self.accounts.add(crontab.account)
            
            def delete(self, crontab):
                self.accounts.add(crontab.account)
            
            def commit(self):
                for account in self.accounts:
                    crontab = None
                    self.append("echo '' > %(crontab_path)s" % context)
                    chown
                    for crontab in account.crontabs.all():
                        self.append("
        #            if crontab is None:
        #                self.append("rm -f %(crontab_path)s" % context)
        ```
    7. Configure the routing
