Adds consistency to existing samples for users, connectors, etc., as well as protects users from accidental changes to files under Git, which is why there are samples after all.

## No DB mode
|
|
|
|
When you are working on dex it's convenient to use the `--no-db` flag. This starts up dex in a mode which uses an in-memory datastore for persistence. It also does not rotate keys, so no overlord is required.
|
|
|
|
In this mode you provide the binary with paths to files for clients, connectors, users, and emailer. There are example files you can use inside of `static/fixtures` named *"clients.json.sample"*, *"connectors.json.sample"*, *"users.json.sample"*, and *"emailer.json.sample"*, respectively.
|
|
|
|
You can rename these to the equivalent without the *".sample"* suffix since the defaults point to those locations:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
cp static/fixtures/clients.json.sample static/fixtures/clients.json
|
|
cp static/fixtures/connectors.json.sample static/fixtures/connectors.json
|
|
cp static/fixtures/users.json.sample static/fixtures/users.json
|
|
cp static/fixtures/emailer.json.sample static/fixtures/emailer.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Starting dex is then as simple as:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
bin/dex-worker --no-db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
***Do not use this flag in production*** - it's not thread safe and data is destroyed when the process dies. In addition, there is no key rotation.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you want to test out the registration flow, you need to enable that feature by passing `--enable-registration=true` as well.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To build using the go binary on your host, use the `./build` script.
|
|
|
|
You can also use a copy of `go` hosted inside a Docker container if you prefix your command with `go-docker`, as in: `./go-docker ./build`
|
|
|
|
## Docker Build and Push
|
|
|
|
Once binaries are compiled you can build and push a dex image to quay.io. Before doing this step binaries must be built above using one of the build tools.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./build-docker build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to push the build to quay.io, use `./build-docker push`:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
export DOCKER_USER=<<your user>>
|
|
export DOCKER_PASSWORD=<<your password>>
|
|
./build-docker push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default the script pushes to `quay.io/coreos/dex`; if you want to push to a different repository, override the `DOCKER_REGISTRY` and `DOCKER_REPO` environment variables.
|
|
|
|
## Rebuild API from JSON schema
|
|
|
|
Go API bindings are generated from a JSON Discovery file.
|
|
To regenerate run:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
schema/generator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For updating generator dependencies see docs in: `schema/generator_import.go`.
|
|
|
|
## Running Tests
|
|
|
|
To run all tests (except functional) use the `./test` script;
|
|
|
|
If you want to test a single package only, use `PKG=<pkgname> ./test`
|
|
|
|
The functional tests require a database; create a database (eg. `createdb dex_func_test`) and then pass it as an environment variable to the functional test script, eg. `DEX_TEST_DSN=postgres://localhost/dex_func_test?sslmode=disable ./test-functional`
|
|
|
|
To run these tests with Docker is a little trickier; you need to have a container running Postgres, and then you need to link that container to the container running your tests:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# Run the Postgres docker container, which creates a db called "postgres"
|
|
docker run --name dex_postgres -d postgres
|
|
|
|
# The host name in the DSN is "postgres"; that works because that is what we
|
|
# will alias the link as, which causes Docker to modify /etc/hosts with a "postgres"
|
|
# entry.
|
|
export DEX_TEST_DSN=postgres://postgres@postgres/postgres?sslmode=disable
|
|
|
|
# Run the test container, linking it to the Postgres container.
|
|
DOCKER_LINKS=dex_postgres:postgres DOCKER_ENV=DEX_TEST_DSN ./go-docker ./test-functional
|
|
|
|
# Remove the container after the tests are run.
|
|
docker rm -f dex_postgres
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Vendoring dependencies
|
|
|
|
dex uses [glide](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) for vendoring external dependencies. This section details how to add and update those dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Before continuing, please ensure you have the **latest version** of glide available in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -u github.com/Masterminds/glide
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Adding a new package
|
|
|
|
After adding a new `import` to dex source, use `glide get` to add the dependency to the `glide.yaml` and `glide.lock` files.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
glide get -u -v -s github.com/godbus/dbus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that __all of these flags are manditory__. This should add an entry to the glide files, add the package to the `vendor` directory, and remove nested `vendor` directories and version control information.
|
|
|
|
## Updating an existing package
|
|
|
|
To update an existing package, edit the `glide.yaml` file to the desired verison (most likely a git hash), and run `glide update`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ edit the entry in glide.yaml }}
|
|
glide update -u -v -s github.com/lib/pq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Like `glide get` all flags are manditory. If the update was successful, `glide.lock` will have been updated to reflect the changes to `glide.yaml` and the package will have been updated in `vendor`.
|
|
|
|
## Finalizing your change
|
|
|
|
Use git to ensure the `vendor` directory has updated only your target packages, and that no other entries in `glide.yaml` and `glide.lock` have changed.
|
|
|
|
Changes to the Godeps directory should be added as a separate commit from other changes for readability:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git status # make sure things look reasonable
|
|
git add vendor
|
|
git commit -m "vendor: updated postgres driver"
|
|
|
|
# continue working
|
|
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "dirname: this is my actual change"
|
|
```
