Local EGA implementation

This repo contains python code to start a Local EGA.

Python 3.6+ is required. The code has been tested against 3.6.1.

You can provision and deploy the different components:

• locally, using docker-compose.
• on an OpenStack cluster, using terraform.

Configuration and Logging settings

Most of the LocalEGA components can be started with configuration and logging command-line arguments.

The --conf <file> allows the user to override the configuration settings. The settings are loaded, in order:

• from the package's defaults.ini
• from the file /etc/ega/conf.ini (if it exists)
• and finally from the file specified as the --conf argument.

Note: No need to update the defaults.ini. Instead, to reset any key/value pairs, either update /etc/ega/conf.ini or create your own file passed to --conf as a command-line arguments.

Logging

The --log <file> argument is used to configuration where the logs go. Without it, we look at the DEFAULT/log_conf key/value pair from the loaded configuration. If the latter doesn't exist, there is no logging capabilities.

The <file> argument can either be a file path in INI or YAML format, or one of the following keywords: default, debug or syslog. In the latter case, it uses some default logger files.
