Technology

The core API implements a Python HTTP web server, intended for deployment into a Kubernetes cluster. It features compliance-related automation for software built with the Open Component Model.

Getting Started

There are multiple ways to run ODG-Core locally.

Standalone

The ODG-Core Python HTTP web server can be started locally as a standalone application. It is loosely coupled to the database and Kubernetes-specific components, therefore this option is considered best if you intend to run web server-only features (e.g. adding new endpoints).

Dependencies and Setup

First, you need to prepare your local environment. The Makefile implements convenient commands for setup, but makes certain assumptions (e.g. it does not use virtual environments). If you have a strong opinion on how to set up your local development environment, please review the Makefile in detail.

If you are fine with installing the Python packages globally, please run:

make setup

Running the Web Server

The Makefile features a convenient command to run the ODG-Core web server in a lightweight fashion. This naturally has limitations, as most features will be turned off. If you want to run specific features, please review the Makefile and build your custom run command.

To run ODG-Core in a simple configuration, please use:

make run

Kubernetes in Docker

To run the ODG-Core web server alongside dependencies and feature extensions, you need to deploy it to a Kubernetes environment. You can use Kubernetes-in-Docker (KinD) to deploy such a setup locally.

Please refer to this guide to deploy ODG to KinD.

Documentation

Open-API Specification

Additionally, each ODG-Core instance hosts an Open-API specification. It is available at: https://<odg-core>/api/v1/doc/

You can also checkout the documentation hosted by the public demo instance, but please be aware that the running version might differ from your installation.
