experimental cirrid for desktop magic

Cirri Daemon

installation

# download latest release
chmod 755 ./cirrid
sudo ./cirrid install

On our internal OSX boxes, you'll need to become ading first - GUI, or ComputerAdminCLI --add.

To see the serice log output:

• Linux: sudo journalctl -fu cirrid
• OSX: cat /usr/local/var/log/cirrid.*
• Windows: sorry, not implemented yet

1. enable *.host.ona.im DNS for portable cirri dev

Because most people don't have static IP's, and the VPN isn't always up - or maybe they're on a plane.

• run a local DNS server that makes and uses a local loopback alias to permit localhost style connection without using loopback
• watch to see if Docker daemon is running (Docker Desktop on demand...)
• could do the relaying to external hosts?
• auto configure host to use it
  • OSX: https://passingcuriosity.com/2013/dnsmasq-dev-osx/
  • Linux: use systemd-resolved options

2. start a desktop systray app when the user logs in..

cos we can do fun UX then - like changing the DOCKERSOCKET to a remote host - or access slurm, d2iq or whatever

3. improve the local host volume mapping experience

especially for remote cluster

Non-functional work

• install to /usr/local/bin/cirrid-VERSION and use softlink to /usr/local/bin/cirrid
• regular check for updates to help users keep up to date
• tracing to enable debugging

TODO:

2. use goreleaser
3. prom metrics endpoint
4. tui to edit / add / remove entries
5. a cirri container watcher that looks at the autosave.json and auto adds dns entries (with user able to cfg on/off)
6. seriously debug why there's a hickup in resolving dns - and ~20 dns requests per lookup? (this may be only the first time after flushing the cache..)
7. cirrid status - tell me what dns values are set, some metrics?
8. cirrid logs - tail the logs?
9. watch the inifile, reload...
10. ini setting for log level
