Monpoly Server

This project provides a python backend for MonPoly (https://bitbucket.org/jshs/monpoly). It requires an instance of a QuestDB database (https://questdb.io/get-questdb/).

REST API endpoints

• / - displays info page
• /get-policy - returns the current policy
• /set-policy - sets the policy
• /get-signature - returns the current signature
• /set-signature - sets the signature
• /log-events - requires a JSON array of events to send to the monitor, it forwards them to the monitor and logs time points in QuestDB, if they are in order and otherwise correct

how to use

1. Clone the latest version of the corresponding MonPoly branch (https://bitbucket.org/jshs/monpoly/src/BA_logging_backend/)
2. Follow the instructions in the README of MonPoly to set up the build environment and Dune
3. Use

   cd monpoly
   dune build
   

   inside the repository to compile a binary of the latest version
4. Use the Dockerfile.server to build a docker image that can then be used with this backend. For this run:

   docker build -t monpoly:dev -f Dockerfile.server .
   

   inside the repository.
5. Clone this repository (monpoly-server)
6. Use the Dockerfile in this repository to build another image

   docker build -t monpoly-wrapper:dev .
   

7. Create a new container using this image:

   docker run --net monpoly --name wrapper -v "[path to this repository on your system]:/monpoly-backend" -it -p 5000:5000 monpoly-wrapper:dev
   

   or

   docker run --net monpoly --name wrapper -v "$(pwd):/monpoly-backend" -it -p 5000:5000 monpoly-wrapper:dev
   

   (using PowerShell and inside the repository)
8. To start the server, use:

   flask --app=src/app.py run
   

   inside the container (either after the previous docker run... command or with docker start wrapper and docker attach wrapper)
