SysAdm
Official repo for PC-BSD's sysadm middleware WebSocket & REST server
This middleware acts as the core for controlling a PC-BSD or FreeBSD system either locally or remotely via WebSockets or REST.
Required Qt Modules
Qt5 Core (pkg install qt5-core)
Qt5 Concurrent (pkg install qt5-concurrent)
Qt5 Websockets (pkg install qt5-websockets)
Building SysAdm
% git clone https://github.com/pcbsd/sysadm.git
% cd sysadm/src
% /usr/local/lib/qt5/bin/qmake -recursive
% make && sudo make install
Starting SysAdm
(For WebSockets - Required for SysAdm Client)
% sudo sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf sysadm_websocket_enable="YES"
% sudo service sysadm-websocket start
(Optional for REST)
% sudo sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf sysadm_restserver_enable="YES"
% sudo service sysadm-restserver start
API Documentation
Contributing new API calls
Adding new API calls to the middleware is very straight-forward, simply add a new function which accepts JSON in, and returns JSON, then connect it to the backend.
Example:
4d3b590f46
Adding new Classes for API calls
Adding a new API class requires tweaking a few more files than a new API call only.
Example:
1ba65b3388
Testing new API calls / classes
Before committing or sending a pull request, you'll need to run our "api-test.sh" script and confirm it works properly. To do so, first add your new call and restart the websocket server. Next do the following:
% cd sysadm/tests
% ./api-test.sh
The api-test script will prompt you to enter username, password, and some information about which class / API call to run. When that is done, and you have verified the functionality of your new call you should add the output of the test script (either from copy-n-paste, or from the file /tmp/api-response) to your commit. (This will allow us to document the new call / class)
