### Advanced Listing using `jq`
Several `abra` commands can output JSON formatted tables, and can thus be queried and filtered with the tool [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ "jq JSON Query tool"). We can also format these outputs with [tv](https://github.com/uzimaru0000/tv "tv Table Viewer") into a pretty table.
Currently, `abra recipe ls`, `abra server ls`, and `abra app ls` support the `-m` machine readable output flag which outputs JSON.

`abra app ls` lists apps grouped into a server object, with statistics about the server. In `jq` we can select the entire apps list with `.[].apps[]`.
```
$ abra app ls -m -S |jq '[.[].apps[] | select(.status == "deployed") | del(.upgrade)]' |tv
```
`abra app ls -m -S |jq '[.[].apps[] | select(.status == "deployed") | del(.upgrade)]' |tv`
The `del(.upgrade)` filter filters out available versions for the recipe in question for that row. It could be useful to leave in if you want a list of deployed apps that need an upgrade.

## Integration tests
### Running on the CI server
### Install dependencies
Based on
[R020](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/020/), we have
automated running the integration test suite. Here's the TLDR;
* We have a donated CI server (tysm `@mirsal` 💝) standing at the ready,
`int.coopcloud.tech`.
* We run the entire integration suite nightly via our Drone CI/CD configuration [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/src/branch/main/.drone.yml) (see "`name: integration test`" stanza)
* Here is the script that is run on the remote server: [`run-ci-int`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/src/branch/main/scripts/tests/run-ci-int)
What follows is a listing of how this was achieved so that we can collectivise
the maintenance.
On the server, we have:
* Created an `abra` user with `docker` permissions
* Ran `apt install bats bats-file bats-assert bats-support jq make git golang-1.21 wget bash`
* Installed `bats-core` from source, following the instructions below
* Docker was already installed on the machine, so nothing to do there
* `docker login` with the `thecoopcloud` details so we don't get rate limited
The drone configuration was wired up as follows:
* Generated a SSH key and put the public key part in `~/.ssh/authorize_keys`
* Added that public key part as a "deploy key" in the abra repo (so we can do `ssh://` git remote pulls)
* Added the private key part as a Drone secret which is available in build so that the build can SSH over to the server to run commands. That was done like so: `drone secret add --repository coop-cloud/abra --name abra_int_private_key --data @id_ed25519`
* In order to specify a cron timing, you need to create it with the Drone CLI: `drone cron add "coop-cloud/abra" "integration" @daily --branch main`
Please ask `@decentral1se` or on the Matrix channels for SSH access to the machine.

We use [`bats`](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to run the tests.

## Agenda
### First
* Fixed monthly Federation meeting (3rd Mon, etc) `@basebuilder`

* Backup specification `@p4u1`
### The Rest
* Non-Federation tasks specific bounty / funding `@basebuilder`

* Continuing budget 001 for meeting attendance, resolution 004 technically only covered 6 months to oct 2023 `@3wc` (but I won't be there)
## Notes
### Fixed monthly Federation meeting (3rd Mon, etc)
Talked about it couple of times, back and forth.
- People who want to do regular can do that
- Other people can do polled meeting
- Poll every month is time consuming
- Timezones is an issue
Poll options for meeting
1. fix time/date every month
1. fixed time/date with timezone wraparound (can be merged with 1. :)
1. flexible every month (poll)
1. fixed week with poll (day of week, crab.fit)
> crab.fit - software with heatmap of availability
### Project re-organisation (recipes, tools, fedi repos)
Problem: All projects are under one organisation (coop-cloud). Abra has to do a lot of work to figure out what is a recipe repo and what not. This got fixed but made recipe generation really slow
Proposal: 3 Organisations in gitea:
- Recipes
- Tools
- Projects
What to look out for:
- Redirects (mainly for recipes)
- SSH will break though -> could make a migration script for that?
https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/milestone/45
https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/569
Maybe "tools" / "projects" not needed, only "recipes" / "other".
### Backup Specification
Needing to write operators and matainers guide
- [ ] should abra implement backup and restore or only provide an integration?
- [ ] should we add a specification version?

- Topic: Federation member responsibilities
- Date: ...
- Deadline: ...
- Size: Large
### Summary
Motivated by the last Federation meeting: [minutes](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/minutes/2024-29-03/).
New members are joining the Federation, hurray! In the discussion about what it means to join, the question came up: what exactly are the responsibilities of the members? This was raised in [`#581`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/581).
Responsibilities were defined in the original [Federation Proposal](https://pad.autonomic.zone/s/MLafJE2jC#Responsibilities). We would like to document and extend those in this proposal.
Furthermore, some existing members have not been participating, not paid dues/asked for waiver and some have even left the federation chat room. It would seem also time to define some "exit criteria" to keep a healthy balance.
### Details
#### Responsibilities
**Already agreed upon**
- Pay yearly dues or ask for waiver (if they can't afford it)
- Actively participate in all large decisions
- Agree to the [Code of Co-operation (CoC)](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/code-of-coop/)
**New**
- Actively participate in monthly federation meetings. If they can't make it, updates will be sent by text.
#### Exit criteria
> The idea is not to eject people out the federation but to use these clear guidelines as a way to assess if participants should remain federation members. This applies to both sides as it is often unclear how to leave volunteer projects.
**New**
- Not paying dues / having an agreed waiver
- Not actively participating in all large decisions
- Not active in federation monthly meetings
- Do not behave in accordance with the [CoC](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/code-of-coop/)
#### Implementation
- These criteria + a link to the [Federation proposal](https://pad.autonomic.zone/s/MLafJE2jC) will be clearly linked on a new "Federation handbook" on docs.coopcloud.tech
- An agenda point will be put on the next federation meeting to chase up dues/waiver agreements and to agree on a collective process for checking on participation of members.

- Topic: Budget XXX: Flag handling in Abra
- Date: ...
- Deadline: ...
- Size: Medium
### Summary
Motivated by the collective release planning: [`#583`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/583) under "Argument Handling".
Due to a bug in the underlying library (`urfave/cli`) that Abra uses for command-line argument/flag handling, we have a bug in Abra which cannot be fixed without causing a breaking change. See [`#581`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/581) for the ongoing discussion. This proposal is the TLDR; and proposal for the fix.
### Details (Budget XXX)
#### The problem
The current help output of `abra app deploy` is as follows:
`abra app deploy [command options] <domain> [<version>]`
However, it is possible to do both of the following:
```
abra app deploy --chaos example.org # "before" style
abra app deploy example.org --chaos # "after" style
```
However, `abra app cmd` is broken if you try to use the "after" style:
```
abra app cmd <domain> <function> --local -- <args>
```
This results in `FATA[0000] <recipe> doesn't have a --local function` which is a bug in the `abra` code. It tries to read the position of the arguments but `--local` is included as an argument. The bug in `abra` is due to a bug in `urfave/cli` - "after" style options appear as arguments 😱
The only way to use `abra app cmd` right now is using the "before" style:
```
abra app cmd --local <domain> <function> -- <args>
```
This means that some commands allow both "after" and "before" style and some only allow "before" style. This is a source of confusion, raised issues and frustration.
#### Our solution
We propose to remedy this situation by upgrading `urfave/cli` to version 2 which enforces the "before" style. This was the solution from `urfave/cli` developers to fix their bug. You can then only do e.g.
```
abra app deploy --chaos <domain>
```
This is the "simplest" option in terms of development capacity and is the most cost effective option. The upgrade effort is more or less a known quantity, see [`#404`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/pulls/404) for more.
We have previously reverted from version 2 to version to 1 to maintain this flexibility. However, this leaves us with an unresolved bug which we want to close off.
#### Alternatives
If this restriction is seen as too burdensome, we see some alternatives.
If you choose to vote against this proposal, please include your preference for an alternative (below or with your own). This allows us to mount another proposal with minimal effort.
There is no guarantee we can get these right and it will incur an ongoing maintenance cost.
1. we make a special case hack in the case of the `--local` handling and proceed as usual
1. we upgrade to v2 and include a patch which automatically re-orders "after" style options into the "before" style transparently
#### Budget
Compensate `@p4u1` for XXX hrs work to get this done. This includes XXX hrs
backpay for the initial spike in
[`#404`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/pulls/404).

- Topic: Budget XXX: Improved project organisation
- Date: ...
- Deadline: ...
- Size: Large
### Summary
Motivated by the collective release planning: [`#583`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/583) under "Improved Project Organisation".
Several issues, both social & technical in nature are cominmg up based on our chocies for how to organise our project management in Co-op Cloud. This proposal will present the problems and proposals for solutions.
### Details (Budget XXX)
#### The problems
1. Because recipes and "other" repositories are gathered under a single Gitea organisation, [co-op cloud](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud), `abra` has to do some serious acrobatics to understand what is a recipe and what is not a recipe. More details in [`#377`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/377). See also [`#569`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/569).
1. Several participants have complained that there is too much indirection & noise involved in having a single issue tracker, [organising](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues). By noise, we mean that, e.g. there are several conventions (labels, writing "Abra: " / "Docs: ") in marking issues related to different repositories. By indirection, we mean that it is not always clear where the issue relates to.
1. There is an old Federation related organisation and related repository, [Federation](https://git.coopcloud.tech/Federation) which has raised questions from new members. It is not used now but it is still there.
#### The solutions
For the recipes issue:
1. Rename [co-op cloud](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud) to "Co-op Cloud Configuration Commons (CCCC)".
1. Create a new Gitea organisation called "Co-op Cloud Federation (CCF)".
1. Migrate all "non recipe" repositories away from [co-op cloud](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud) ("CCCC") and under the CCF organisation.
This creates a clear separation between the configuration commons AKA "the recipes" and "other stuff". This means that `abra` logic can be greatly simplified and become performant once again. Furthermore, we don't break any URLs by keeping the recipes where they always were. The renaming aspect is purely cosmetic, the recipe organisation URL will remain "co-op cloud".
Then, for the issue management issue:
1. Re-open all repository issue trackers instead of pointing to [organising](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues).
1. Migrate all issues by hand from `organising` to their relevant issue trackers. E.g. all issues in organising with the `abra` label will go to the `abra` issue tracker.
1. Create a new repository called "Co-op Cloud Federation Coordination" where we have an issue tracker for specific federation discussions (E.g. "tracking every member paying dues").
1. Create a single Gitea Project under the CCF organisation called "Federation FTW".
"Federation FTW" will be the project we collectively refer to in our federation meetings as the "main list of priorities". Issues from every part of the project can be referenced there in a single place. Discussions can happen decentrally in their own issue trackers. It is the central source of truth for our current priorities and a way to stay up to date with what we want to do in the short to medium term.
#### Budget
* 5 hrs for migrating labours of the issues to their related issue trackers.
* Additional 3 hrs for unseen migration / busy work gotchas.
* 4 hrs for `abra` changes to only parse the new recipes repository
* Total: 12 hrs

- Topic: Budget 10: Abra integration suite automation
- Date: 04-04-2024
- Deadline: 18-04-2024
- Size: Large
### Summary
Motivated by the collective release planning:
[`#583`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/583) under
"Automate Integration Test Suite".
The latest `abra` release (`0.9.x`) was heavily delayed due to several issues.
One of those was the need to fix the integration test suite which wasn't run in
some time. Many breakages had crept into the test suite over time. This can
avoided in the future by automating the running of the integration test suite.
This proposal describes a way to do this and includes a budget for doing so.
### Details (Budget 10)
The `abra` test suite takes around 1.30 hrs to run on a modest machine.
Therefore, we propose to run it only once daily. Some parts of the tests are
slow, fast and only a few require public DNS. This means we can break up the
tests and run them in separate "builds" to speed things up. This involves some
research & experimentation.
A server has been provided by `@mirsal` on donation (💘). This machine will be
be wiped clean each day (`docker <command> prune ....`) and will have the usual
DNS machinery attached to it, e.g. `int.coopcloud.tech`, `*.int.coopcloud.tech`.
Once that is all wired up, we can implement the CI/CD configuration to make the
test suite run automatically once a day. This will be triggered via the
`.drone.yml` in the `abra` Git repository.
Budget details:
| Item | Cost | Who? |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |

## Linting rules
### R015: "long secret names"
Due to limitations placed by the Docker runtime, secret names must be < 64
characters long. Due to convetions in recipe configuration and how `abra`
works, several characters are appended to secret names during a deployment.
This means if you have a domain `example.org` and a secret `foo_pass`, you'll
end up with something like `example_org_foo_pass_v1` being used for the secret
name.
Based on a discussion in
[`#463`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/463) and
looking on what is implemented currently in existing recipes, we came up with a
general rule of thumb that secret names in recipe configurations should be < 12
characters long to avoid errors on deployment.
### R014: "invalid lightweight tag"

If you're app [supports backup/restore](/maintainers/handbook/#how-do-i-configure-backuprestore) then you have two options: [`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two) & [`abra`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra).
With `abra`, you can simply run the commands:
```
$ abra app backup <domain>
$ abra app restore <domain>
```
With `abra`, you can simply run `abra app backup ...` & `abra app restore ...`.
Pass `-h` for more information on the specific flags & arguments.
If your app Recipe *does not support backups* you can do it manually with the
`abra cp` command. See the exact commands in [abra

## Running an offline coop-cloud server
You may want to run a coop-cloud directly on your device (or in a VM or machine on your LAN), whether that's for testing a recipe or to run coop-cloud apps outside of the cloud ;-)
In that case you might simply add some names to `/etc/hosts` (e.g `127.0.0.1 myapp.localhost`), or configure them on a local DNS server - which means `traefik` won't be able to use `letsencrypt` to generate and verify SSL certificates. Here's what you can do instead:
1. In your traefik .env file, edit/uncomment the following lines:
```
LETS_ENCRYPT_ENV=staging
WILDCARDS_ENABLED=1
SECRET_WILDCARD_CERT_VERSION=v1
SECRET_WILDCARD_KEY_VERSION=v1
COMPOSE_FILE="$COMPOSE_FILE:compose.wildcard.yml"
```
2. Generate a self-signed certificate using the [command listed here](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/#making-and-trusting-your-own-certificates). Unless using `localhost` you may want to edit that where it appears in the command, and/or add multiple (sub)domains to the certificate e.g: `subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:myapp.localhost`
3. Run these commands:
```
abra app secret insert localhost ssl_cert v1 "$(cat localhost.crt)"
abra app secret insert localhost ssl_key v1 "$(cat localhost.key)"
```
4. Re-deploy `traefik` with `--force` and voila!
## Remote recipes
!!! warning "This is only available in the currently unreleased version of `abra`"
Please see [this issue](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/583) to track current progress towards a release. All feedback and testing are welcome on this new feature. The design is not finalised yet.
It is possible to specify a remote recipe in your `.env` file:
```
RECIPE=mygit.org/myorg/cool-recipe.git:1.3.12
```
Where `1.3.12` is an optional pinned version. When `abra` runs a deployment, it
will fetch the remote recipe and create a directory for it under `$ABRA_DIR`
(typically `~/.abra`):
```
$ABRA_DIR/recipes/mygit_org_myorg_cool-recipe

This tutorial tries to help you make choices about which server and which DNS setup you need to run a _Co-op Cloud_ deployment but it does not go into great depth about how to set up a new server.
??? question "Can `abra` help automate this?"
Our `abra` tool can help bootstrap new servers & configure DNS records for
you. We'll skip that for now since we're just getting started. For more on
these topics after you finish the tutorial see the [operators
handbook](/operators/handbook).
### Server setup
Co-op Cloud has itself near zero system requirements. You only need to worry about the system resource usage of your apps and the overhead of running containers with the docker runtime (often negligible. If you want to know more, see [this FAQ entry](/intro/faq/#isnt-running-everything-in-containers-inefficient)).

### Add your server
Now you can connect `abra` with your server. You must have a working SSH configuration for your server before you can proceed. That means you can run `ssh <server-domain>` on your command-line and everything Works :tm:. See the [`abra` SSH troubleshooting](/abra/trouble/#ssh-connection-issues) for a working SSH configuration example.
??? warning "Beware of SSH dragons :dragon_face:"
Under the hood `abra` uses plain 'ol `ssh` and aims to make use of your
existing SSH configurations in `~/.ssh/config` and interfaces with your
running `ssh-agent` for password protected secret key files.
Running `server add` with `-d` or `--debug` should help you debug what is
going on under the hood. `ssh -v ...` should also help. If you're running
into SSH connection issues with `abra` take a moment to read [this
troubleshooting entry](/abra/trouble/#ssh-connection-issues).
Now you can connect `abra` with your server. You should have a working SSH configuration before you can do this (e.g. a matching `Host <server-domain>` entry in `~/.ssh/config` with the correct SSH connection details). That means you can run `ssh <server-domain>` on your command-line and everything Works :tm:.
```bash
ssh <server-domain> # make sure it works
abra server add <server-domain>
```
It is important to note that `<server-domain>` here is a publicy accessible domain name which points to your server IP address. `abra` does make sure this is the case and this is done to avoid issues with HTTPS certificate rate limiting.
??? warning "Can I use arbitrary server names?"
Yes, this is possible. You need to pass `-D` to `server add` and ensure
that your `Host ...` entry in your SSH configuration includes the name.
So, for example:
Host example.com example
...
And then:
abra server add -D example
It is important to note that `<domain>` here is a publicy accessible domain name which points to your server IP address. `abra` does make sure this is the case and this is done to avoid issues with HTTPS certificate rate limiting.

### Web proxy setup
In order to have your Co-op cloud deployment serve the public internet, we need to install the core web proxy, [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/).
Traefik is the main entrypoint for all web requests (e.g. like NGINX) and
supports automatic SSL certificate configuration and other quality-of-life
features which make deploying libre apps more enjoyable.
