edgeman

edgeman is an edge device manager.

This is a proof of concept.

Usage

podman system service -t 0

RUST_LOG=info \
  ID=sample-edge1 \
  EDGEMAN_URL=https://example.com \
  FETCH_URL=file://$PWD/sample/sample.yaml \
  FETCH_SCHEDULE="1/10 * * * * *" \
  cargo run --bin edge

Current problems

• Cannot replace pod
  • Reconcile always fails with pod already exists error
  • https://github.com/containers/podman/commit/91df369ae6807d5d3c0adf37ea5caeb883c0284e must be released
  • Or we should manually compare new pod spec and existing pod
• Lack of pod versioning
  • Should detect currently deployed pod's timestamp and compare with fetched spec
• Lack of pod healthchecking

TODOs

• Spec signing
  • Should prevent malicious attacker replacing pod specs
  • libsodium would useful
• Health signing
  • Should sign individual edge health pushing
  • libsodium would useful
• edgeman server implementation
  • Receive edge healths and store somewhere
  • Edge health visualizer (Web UI?)
