Securely access remote devices and servers

Hi everyone,

thanks for developing this product. I am just trying it out locally so far it looks very interesting!

Right now I ran into an issue I can't figure out how to do this properly. As the container names are created dynamically, and the links property is not supported, what is currently the way to connect to a different container via 'http://containername...' ?

Thanks, Andreas

P.S.: What is the best way to provide you feedback and ideas? Shall I write individual issues in here?

Hi !

I was hopping to test deviceplan. Where can I find the documentation about "deploying" ? https://deviceplane.com/docs/deploying/ (broken link)

Thanks for the help.

When I deploy a release, it is unclear to me how the subsequent release scheduling process works. I typically SSH into my device and run docker ps repeatedly until I see that my change has taken effect.

It would be nice to have some visibility into the status of the scheduling process.

I would like to be able to force a device to pull the latest version of a Docker image when the underlying release has not changed.

For example, I noticed that your demo-release specifies the image by its ID:

demo-go:
  image: deviceplane/demo-go:614617567844e1b74e45622785719d4b8a728eea

I'd like to be able to use an image tag instead:

demo-go:
  image: deviceplane/demo-go:latest

And have some CLI command that allows me to force my devices to pull a newer version of the image specified by the tag latest.

Hello!

We are users of on-premises Deviceplane instance, we love it 😊.

We are used to CLI, but want to automate some things, integrated with our project modules. For that purpose is there any available network API (like REST)? We would like to have the exact same functionality of CLI exposed to our business logic using a network interface.

Thank you!

ignore the lost+found directory, to allow more easy mounting of the mysql datadir (with ext4 volumes for example)

This lets things play a bit more nicely with some storage systems (such as Kubernetes with a storage backend that provisions filesystem based disks, like for example with AWS EKS or our product, KubeSail.com).

We're building a template for DevicePlane over at https://kubesail.com/template/erulabs/deviceplane

Thanks!

These two conditions function like any other condition:

type Condition struct {
	Type   ConditionType          `json:"type"`
	Params map[string]interface{} `json:"params"`
}

Querying by application existence

To get devices based on whether an application is running on them, use:

const ApplicationExistenceCondition = ConditionType("ApplicationExistenceCondition")
type ApplicationExistenceConditionParams struct {
	ApplicationID string   `json:"applicationId"`
	Operator      Operator `json:"operator"`
}

Where operator is either:

OperatorExists    = Operator("exists")
OperatorNotExists = Operator("does not exist")

An example query using this condition is:

"[{\"type\":\"ApplicationExistenceCondition\",\"params\":{\"operator\":\"exists\",\"applicationId\":\"app_1YJdqxzJW0kxuNqYiqiKE54gou3\"}}]"

Querying by application release version

To get devices based on whether an application release is running on them, use:

const ApplicationReleaseCondition = ConditionType("ApplicationReleaseCondition")
type ApplicationReleaseConditionParams struct {
	ApplicationID string   `json:"applicationId"`
	Operator      Operator `json:"operator"`
	Release     string   `json:"release"`
}

Where operator is either:

OperatorIs    = Operator("is")
OperatorIsNot = Operator("is not")

And release is the ID ("rel_...") of a release or "latest".

An example query using this condition is:

"[{\"type\":\"ApplicationReleaseCondition\",\"params\":{\"operator\":\"is\",\"applicationId\":\"app_1YJdqxzJW0kxuNqYiqiKE54gou3\", \"release\":\"rel_1YJduIBd1TUAev63qVV72Nzan6m\"}}]"

Querying by service state

To get devices based on whether a service has a given state, use:

const ServiceStateCondition         = ConditionType("ServiceStateCondition")
type ServiceStateConditionParams struct {
	ApplicationID string       `json:"applicationId"`
	Service       string       `json:"service"`
	Operator      Operator     `json:"operator"`
	ServiceState  ServiceState `json:"serviceState"`
}

Where operator is either:

OperatorIs    = Operator("is")
OperatorIsNot = Operator("is not")

And service state (also in pkg/models) is one of:

const (
	ServiceStateUnknown                   ServiceState = "unknown"
	ServiceStatePullingImage              ServiceState = "pulling image"
	ServiceStateCreatingContainer         ServiceState = "creating container"
	ServiceStateStoppingPreviousContainer ServiceState = "stopping previous container"
	ServiceStateRemovingPreviousContainer ServiceState = "removing previous container"
	ServiceStateStartingContainer         ServiceState = "starting container"
	ServiceStateRunning                   ServiceState = "running"
	ServiceStateExited                    ServiceState = "exited"
)

An example query using this condition is:

"[{\"type\":\"ServiceStateCondition\",\"params\":{\"operator\":\"is not\",\"service\":\"demo-go\",\"serviceState\":\"running\",\"applicationID\":\"app_1YJdqxzJW0kxuNqYiqiKE54gou3\"}}]"

I am reading "In order to register a device, we first need to install Docker on the device." in the docs. Is this a real requirement? I can't just install the agent on the linux device?

Bumps xterm from 2.9.2 to 3.8.1.

Dependabot will resolve any conflicts with this PR as long as you don't alter it yourself. You can also trigger a rebase manually by commenting @dependabot rebase.

InitializeUser fails when registering/confirming a new user because the insert into users does not include the column 'name' which is set to not null.

A quick fix to get past that is to alter the table and provide a default value: ALTER TABLE users ALTER name SET DEFAULT 'Default Name'; or make it nullable: ALTER TABLE users MODIFY name VARCHAR(100);

I would like to create users / projects / registrations tokens without going through the web gui.

Are there any docs for the APIs against the controller to do this?

Even a swagger manifest would be enough I guess but I don't see that in the ui src.

Thanks

Hello,

We are using https://cloud.deviceplane.com/. When there are more than 100 devices registered under the same namespace, the UI shows the right number of devices, bu the list of devices is limited to 100. Even filtering does not seem to find the extra devices. As soon as you remove old devices and get under the 100s again, the new devices appear.

This looks like a simple pagination issue.

Thanks

I would like to include the option to delete a project remotely with the deviceplane command line, currently is:

Commands:
   configure  --  Configure this CLI utility.

   project  --  Manage projects.
     list [<flags>]  --  List projects.
     create  --  Create a new project.

   device  --  Manage devices.
     list [<flags>]  --  List devices.
     ssh [<flags>] <device>  --  SSH into a device.
     inspect [<flags>] <device>  --  Inspect a device's properties and labels.
     reboot <device>  --  Reboot a device.

   reboot <device>  --  Reboot a device.

And I would like to include:

...
   project  --  Manage projects.
     delete [<flags>] <project>  --  Delete project.
...

Hi.

We are deploying Deviceplane server behind a proxy, but we are experiencing some issues. It seems that Deviceplane publishes its own URL, but with missing path parts. Is there a way to configure Deviceplane so that the public URL set in the proxy, including path?

Thank you!
