anuraconfig / anura-server

the Anura configuration manger

Anura

Anura is a configuration manager that helps you and your team with managing your configuration across multiple services and multiple environments with a simple UI backed with real-time update system and custom configuration database with options to use external ones as well.

Feel free to fork and make contributions. We'll try to get them into the main application.

Installation

Anura requires Node.js to run
Anura is available as an npm package for easy installation. Anura On NPM

$ npm install anura-server -g 
$ anura start

after these commands, Anura will start-up in port 4000 by default.

Configuration

After installing Anura, A new directory will be created in the /var/local folder in Linux or in %AppData% folder on windows. The installation will create an initial folder with a config.yaml file. You can also add a config_file argument in the anura start script

Verible	Info	Type	Default
STORE_LOCATION	Where to save the config data	Path	/var/local/Anura |$appdata%\Anura
HUMAN_READABLE	Save the config data in a human readable format	true/false	false
SERVER_PORT	The port of the config server (and it's ui)	number	4000

Development

Todos in the near future

• Make Anura easier to setup.
• Add more external data store options. (like mongo and redis)
• Make an option to scale out. (multi-service is fun)
• Improve UI usability.

anura-server's Issues

no such file default config

after install Anura server can't find the default config file

add redis to allow socket.io scaleability

using deprecated material ui typography

"Material-UI: you are using the deprecated typography variants that will be removed in the next major release."
replace this typography

add an option to get a config without it global variables filled in

add the ability to update only one global variable

add the ability to update only one global variable

loading config with global variable can lead to issues

when you load a config to the UI you have no indication if the config contains a global variable because the config takes the values of the key in the store.
solution

1. add an option to get a raw config without fill in #77
2. add a UI mark to see the replaced value in the config preview

create Anura over docker

Errors not always showing when thrown from the backend

example: when I update config and the update failed instead of getting an error toast I get two success toast that says update complete

Object config get stringify at the Data-Connectors

the anura-filesystem is parsing the Object config to string even when the data isn't raw
this is happening because of the graphql schema but in any case, this needs to move to the anura backend

add config delete option

Mongo connector put on hold

Because of the short in developers who work on this project, we had to put on hold the development of the mongo
connector whos not in use in our team production system (and used only for the open source benefits).

In the future, we will continue and update the code for the mongo but for the time being we wanted to focus in other parts of the projects and in other connectors.

If you are a developer and will want to continue our support in the mongo connector We will be more then happy to help you do so, just contact us.
