# Installation
Over here we will cover the basic steps to get the server and client side running.
## Alpha release install
https://github.com/Akilan1999/p2p-rendering-computation/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha
## Install from Github master branch
### Install Go lang
The entire the implementation of this project is done using Go lang.
Thus, we need go lang to compile to code to a binary file.
[Instructions to install Go lang](https://golang.org/doc/install)
### Install Docker
In this project the choice of virtualization is Docker due to it's wide usage
in the developer community. In the server module we use the Docker Go API to create and
interact with the containers.

````
// Do ensure that the docker command does not need sudo to run
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
````
### Build Project and install project
To set up the internal dependencies and build the entire go code
into a single binary
```
make install
```
### Add appropriate paths to .bashrc
```
export P2PRC=/<PATH>/p2p-rendering-computation
export PATH=/<PATH>/p2p-rendering-computation:${PATH}
```
### Set up configuration file
```
make configfile
```
Open the config file ```config.json``` and add the IPv6 address
if you have one.
### Test if binary works
```
p2prc --help
```

# Using basic commands
### Start as a server
Do ensure you have docker installed for this
```
p2prc -s
```
### View server Specification
```
p2prc --specs=<ip address>
```
### Run container
use the ```--gpu``` if you know the other machine has a gpu.
```
p2prc --touch=<server ip address> -p <number of ports> --gpu
```
### Remove container
The docker id is present in the output where you create a container
```
p2prc --rm=<server ip address> --id=<docker container id>
```
### Adding servers to ip table
```
p2prc --as=<server ip address you want to add>
```
### Update ip table
```
p2prc --us
```
### List Servers
```
p2prc --ls
```
### View Network interfaces
```
p2prc --ni
```
### Viewing Containers created Client side
```
p2prc --tc
```

# Using Plugins
This feature is still Under Development:
[Read more on the implementation](PluginImplementation.md)
#### Dependencies
- Ansible:
- Debian/ubuntu: ```sudo apt install ansible```
- Others: [Installation link](https://ansible-tips-and-tricks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ansible/install/)
#### Set ansible host_key_checking to false
- On linux
- ```sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg```: Open the following file. If this file is not found then where
ever the file ```ansible.cfg``` is located.
- Add or uncomment ```host_key_checking = False```
#### Run Test Cases
- Generate Test Case Ansible file
- ```make testcases```
- Enter inside plugin directory and run tests.
Note: That docker needs to installed and needs to run without
sudo. Refer the section install Docker.
- ```cd plugin```
- ```go test .```
