This being my first time using goroutines, it is pretty messy but the
idea has been shown to be workable! We can concurrently look up multiple
contexts for a much faster response time especially when using multiple
servers.
Remaining TODOs are:
- [ ] Get proper status reporting (deployed/inactive/unknown)
- [ ] Error handling (especially when missing contexts)
- [ ] Refactor and tidy
In order to arrange various types of sorting for the app catalogue, it
seems like the recommended approach is to maintain a separate data
structure alongside the JSON map we get from apps.coopcloud.tech.
Therefore, I attempt to provide a ToList() method and accompanying
sort.Sort interface sorting implementations. For now, this is just
sorting by app name.
I am testing this type of implementation here before moving on to
arrange different types of sorting for the `app list` command.
This allows AppsReadFS/AppsReadWeb to be used behind the scenes of this
API for the conditional loading logic. All functions are left as public
for now while we're experimenting.
This logic supports the following cases:
- Download a fresh apps.json and load it if missing
- Check if a local apps.json is old and get a fresh one if so
- Always save a local copy after downloading a fresh apps.json
The http.Head() call is faster than a http.Get() call (only carries back
respones headers) and aims to make the more general case more
performant: you have the latest copy of the apps.json and don't need to
download another one. This a direct port of our Bash implementation
logic.
