This assumes you have a working go environment with a GOPATH env var setup, and nodejs and npm installed:
sudo apt install nodejs-legacy npm snapcraft bzr
Install global npm modules without sudo:
cat > ~/.npmrc <<-EOF
root = $HOME/node/lib/node_modules
prefix = $HOME/node
binroot = $HOME/node/bin
manroot = $HOME/node/man
EOF
Setup the environment:
mkdir ~/node
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/node/bin:$GOPATH/bin
export NODE_PATH=$HOME/node/lib/node_modules
Branch:
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/snapcore
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/snapcore
git clone git@github.com:snapcore/snapweb.git
cd snapweb
Install:
# this script does a npm install using yarn and fixes some extra issues
# with dependencies
./scripts/npm-install.sh
./scripts/get-go-deps.sh
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/snapcore/snapweb
# omit the architecture specified below ('amd64') to build for all architectures at once
./build.sh amd64
Once you have a snap built locally, you can test it on your system by doing:
snap install snapweb_<version>.snap --dangerous
The --dangerous flag is necessary for installing locally built snaps, which have not been signed by the store.
Connect to the Snapweb interface with this URL: [http://localhost:4200/]
Snapweb will automatically redirect to HTTPS on port 4201, using a self-signed certificate.
Warning : if testing snapweb inside a VM with redirected ports, be sure to connect directly to the HTTPS socket, as the HTTP redirect won't work.
For example, starting a VM with:
kvm -m 768 -redir :8022::22 -redir :8201::4201 -hda snappy.img
Point the browser directly to [https://localhost:8201]
Note that in all cases you will now need an access token to use snapweb. Depending on where you installed the snap package (locally or in a vm) run the following command (possibly via ssh in the case of a vm):
sudo snapweb.generate-token
Then copy/paste the token in the Web UI when requested.
To install a package:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"package":"xkcd-webserver"}' http://localhost:4200/api/v2/packages/
To uninstall a package:
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4200/api/v2/packages/xkcd-webserver
To list packages:
curl http://localhost:4200/api/v2/packages/
To get a specific package:
curl http://localhost:4200/api/v2/packages/xkcd-webserver
To generate dependencies.tsv you need godeps, so
go get launchpad.net/godeps
To obtain the correct dependencies for the project, run:
godeps -t -u dependencies.tsv
If the dependencies need updating
godeps -t ./... > dependencies.tsv
