acid

acid is A Continuous Integration Daemon. Currently under heavy development. Right now I’m working on a demo JSON-RPC server that will serve as the basis for the final daemon.

The aim of this project is to provide a dumbed-down alternative to Travis CI. I find it way too complex to set up and run in a local setting, while the basic gist of it is actually very simple — run some stuff on new git commits.

acid will provide a JSON-RPC 2.0 service for frontends over FastCGI, SCGI, or WebSockets, as well as a webhook endpoint for notifications about new commits. The daemon is supposed to be "firewalled" by a normal HTTP server and it will not provide TLS support to secure the communications.

acid will be able to tell you about build results via e-mail and/or IRC.

Builds will only be supported on the same machine as the daemon. Eventually I might be able to add support for fully replicable builds using Docker.

With this being my own project, of course it is written in event-looped C99 where everything is stuffed into just a few files. At least I hope it’s written in a somewhat clean manner. Feel free to contribute.

Building and Installing

Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, libmagic, liberty (included), http-parser (included)
Runtime dependencies: libev, Jansson

$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/acid.git
$ mkdir acid/build
$ cd acid/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make

To install the application, you can do either the usual:

# make install

Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:

$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i acid-*.deb

Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with fakeroot or file ownership will end up wrong.

Usage

TODO. The main application hasn’t been written yet.
