#mysqlapi
This is a service API for MySQL, used for tsuru.
Installation
In order to have mysql API ready to receive requests, we need some bootstrap stuff.
The first step is to install the dependencies. Let's use pip to do it:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Now we need to run syncdb:
$ python manage.py syncdb
Exporting enviroment variable to set the settings location:
$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysqlapi.settings
Choose your configuration mode
There are three modes to configure the API usage behavior:
shared: this configuration forces all applications to share the same mysql installation, in this mode, mysql API will create a new user and a new database when added/binded by an app.dedicated (on-demmand): every app using mysql will have a single vm for it's usage, in this mode, mysql API will create a vm, install everything needed to run mysql based on a predefined AMI and create a user and password.dedicated (pre-provisioned): every app using mysql will have a single MySQL instance, pre-provisioned.
Everything that is needed by the application to connect with mysql is provided automatically by tsuru, using environment variables, e.g. when you add/bind your app with mysql service, tsuru will export all environment variables returned by mysql API.
Shared Configuration
To run the API in shared mode, is needed to have a mysql installed and export two enviroment variables.
One variable is to set the mysql host. If the shared mysql database is
installed in the sabe vm that the app is, you can use localhost for
MYSQLAPI_SHARED_SERVER, but you'll also need to set up a externally
accessible endpoint to be used by the apps that are using the service:
$ MYSQLAPI_SHARED_SERVER=mysqlhost.com
$ MYSQLAPI_SHARED_SERVER_PUBLIC_HOST=publichost.com
Running the api
$ gunicorn wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:8888
Try your configuration
You can try if the previous configuration worked using curl:
$> curl -d 'name=myapp' http://youmysqlapi.com/resources
This call is the same as to tsuru service-add <service-name> <service-instance-name> and will return 201 if everything goes ok.
If there are any problems, be welcome to report an issue :)
