Developing

BEFORE you start, please read the Contributing Guideline.

Clone the repository

The Project follows the common convention in the Golang community about the workspace.
This means that you should store all Go code under GOPATH/src and use full import paths.

Starting with version 1.0.x, we are using go modules on this project. That means you will need to clone this project outside of your $GOPATH/src directory.

The repo should be cloned like this:

# open Git Bash command line

# change current directory to user's HOME directory
cd $HOME

# create directory for the project (whatever you like)
mkdir -p $HOME/goprojects/openhealthalgorithms

# change current directory
cd $HOME/goprojects/openhealthalgorithms

# clone the repository using https
git clone https://github.com/openhealthalgorithms/service.git

# clone the repository using ssh and ssh keys
git clone git@github.com:openhealthalgorithms/service.git

# change directory to projects's directory
cd service

Running in Development

You can run go run main.go from the root directory (i.e. $HOME/goprojects/openhealthalgorithms/service)

Build

List all the available targets:

make

Note: This package needs gcc installed on your system to help compile this. So, you need to use separate system to generate the binaries.

Build regular binaries:

# on mac
make build_darwin

# on linux
make build_linux

You can use a temporary VM to generate/compile this.

Deploy

Run Directly

After you run the build commands, it will generate two binaries in the artifacts directory:

• ohas-darwin-v1.x.x
• ohas-linux-v1.x.x

You can just run the application from command line:

# run in the foreground
./ohas-linux-v1.0.2

# run in the background (need to kill the process afterwards, if you want to stop)
./ohas-linux-v1.0.2 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

# run in the background when the terminal is closed (need to kill the process afterwards, if you want to stop)
nohup ./ohas-linux-v1.0.2 &

Run as a Service

You can run this as a service on your system too. For this, we will show how to do that in a Ubuntu 18.04 server.

• Save your configuration on /etc/ohas/ohas.toml file.
• Create a file ohas.service on /lib/systemd/system/ directory.

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/ohas.service

Write the following:

[Unit]
Description=Open Health Algorithms Service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ohas
User=root
Group=root
UMask=007
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Upload the binary (ohas-linux-v1.0.2)
• Run the followings:

cp ohas-linux-v1.0.2 ohas               # rename the binary
sudo mv ohas /usr/local/bin/            # move the binary to a directory in the path
sudo chown root: /usr/local/bin/ohas    # change the owner to root
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ohas       # make the file executable
sudo systemctl restart ohas             # start/restart the service
sudo systemctl status ohas              # check the status

This service will write output on stdout. If you setup any logging system (like stackdriver logging), all the output can be viewed on the logging application.
