The Co-op Cloud utility belt 🎩🐇

`abra` is a command-line tool for managing your own [Co-op Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech). It can provision new servers, create apps, deploy them, run backup and restore operations and a whole lot of other things. Please see [docs.coopcloud.tech](https://docs.coopcloud.tech) for more extensive documentation.

## Quick install

```bash
curl https://install.abra.autonomic.zone | bash
```

Or using the latest release candidate (extra experimental!):

```bash
curl https://install.abra.autonomic.zone | bash -s -- --rc
```

Source for this script is in [scripts/installer/installer](./scripts/installer/installer).

## Hacking

### Getting started

Install [direnv](https://direnv.net), run `cp .envrc.sample .envrc`, then run `direnv allow` in this directory. This will set coopcloud repos as private due to [this bug.](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/coopcloud.tech/issues/20#issuecomment-8201). Or you can run `go env -w GOPRIVATE=coopcloud.tech` but I'm not sure how persistent this is.

Install [Go >= 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/install) and then:

- `make build` to build
- `./abra` to run commands
- `make test` will run tests
- `make install` will install it to `$GOPATH/bin`
- `go get <package>` and `go mod tidy` to add a new dependency

Our [Drone CI configuration](.drone.yml) runs a number of sanity on each pushed commit. See the [Makefile](./Makefile) for more handy targets.

Please use the [conventional commit format](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) for your commits so we can automate our change log.

### Versioning

We use [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com) to help us automate releases. We use [semver](https://semver.org) for versioning all releases of the tool. While we are still in the public alpha release phase, we will maintain a `0.y.z-alpha` format. Change logs are generated from our commit logs. We are still working this out and aim to refine our release praxis as we go.

For developers, while using this `-alpha` format, the `y` part is the "major" version part. So, if you make breaking changes, you increment that and _not_ the `x` part. So, if you're on `0.1.0-alpha`, then you'd go to `0.1.1-alpha` for a backwards compatible change and `0.2.0-alpha` for a backwards incompatible change.

### Making a new release

- Change `ABRA_VERSION` to match the new tag in [`scripts`](./scripts/installer/installer) (use [semver](https://semver.org))
- Commit that change (e.g. `git commit -m 'chore: publish next tag x.y.z-alpha'`)
- Make a new tag (e.g. `git tag -a x.y.z-alpha`)
- Push the new tag (e.g. `git push && git push --tags`)
- Wait until the build finishes on [build.coopcloud.tech](https://build.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra)
- Deploy the new installer script (e.g. `cd ./scripts/installer && make`)
- Check the release worked, (e.g. `abra upgrade; abra -v`)

### Fork maintenance

#### `godotenv`

We maintain a fork of [godotenv](https://github.com/Autonomic-Cooperative/godotenv) for two features:

1. multi-line env var support
2. inline comment parsing

You can upgrade the version here by running `go get github.com/Autonomic-Cooperative/godotenv@<commit>` where `<commit>` is the
latest commit you want to pin to. We are aiming to migrate to YAML format for the environment configuration, so this should only
be a temporary thing.

#### `docker/client`

A number of modules in [pkg/upstream](./pkg/upstream) are copy/pasta'd from the upstream [docker/docker/client](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/docker/client). We had to do this because upstream are not exposing their API as public.
