How to create your own script repository?

You can add your own script repository to the platform. A dedicated or virtual server can be used as a repository.

Adding a repository

To create your own script repository:

On the repository server:
1. Install and configure the web server.
2. Create a directory for the repository. The directory must be accessible to external connections via HTTP. For example, /var/www/html/recipes/.
3. Copy the script files into the repository directory.
4. Create a metadata.json file with script descriptions in the repository directory:
  Example of metadata.json file
```
{
  "type": "recipe",
  "recipe": [
    {
      "name": "ForLinux",
      "tags": [
        "linux"
      ],
      "description": "script1",
      "file_name": "script1.sh",
      "updated_at": "2020-05-15 12:01:12"
    },
    {
      "name": "ForWindows",
      "tags": [
        "windows"
      ],
      "description": "script2",
      "file_name": "script2.ps",
      "updated_at": "2022-04-14 07:57:13"
    }
  ]
}
```
  Comments to the file
  type — repository type. Specify the value of recipe
  recipe — an array with script descriptions:
  - name — script name
  - tags — script tags. For example, linux or windows
  - description — description of the script
  - file_name — file name of the script
  - updated_at — date and time of the last update
Get the authorization token:
```
curl -k -X POST -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://domain.com/auth/v4/public/token' -d '{"email": "admin_email", "password": "admin_pass"}'
```
Comments to the command

domain.com — domain name or IP address of the server with the platform
admin_email — platform administrator's email
admin_pass — platform administrator's password

In response, you will get the message in the form:
Example of response in JSON
```
{
  "confirmed": true,
  "expires_at": null,
  "id": "6",
  "token": "4-e9726dd9-61d9-2940-add3-914851d2cb8a"
}
```
Save the received token value.
Execute an API request to create a repository in the platform:
```
curl -H 'x-xsrf-token: <token>' -X POST https://localhost/vm/v3/repository -d '{"name":"<repo_name>","url":"<repo_url"}'
```
Comments to the command

<token> — authorization token
<repo_name> — internal name of the repository
<repo_url> — repository directory URL. For example, http://example.com/recipes

Checking the repository added

Connect to the server with the platform via SSH.

Request a list of repositories:

docker exec -it mysql bash -c "mysql isp -p\$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD -e \"SELECT name,url FROM vm_repository WHERE type='recipe';\""

Example of response

+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| name              | url                                                   |
+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| recipe_repository | http://download.ispsystem.com/OSTemplate/vm6/recipes/ |
| My repo           | http://example.com/recipes/                           | 
+----+-------------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+

In the platform interface:
1. Check the display of scripts from the added repository.
2. Run the script from the repository on the VM.

Updating the script list

The list of scripts in the platform is synchronized with the repository every 15 minutes. To update the list of scripts manually:

Get the authorization token:
```
curl -k -X POST -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://domain.com/auth/v4/public/token' -d '{"email": "admin_email", "password": "admin_pass"}'
```
Comments to the command

domain.com — domain name or IP address of the server with the platform
admin_email — platform administrator's email
admin_pass — platform administrator's password

In response, you will get the message in the form:
Example of response in JSON
```
{
  "confirmed": true,
  "expires_at": null,
  "id": "6",
  "token": "4-e9726dd9-61d9-2940-add3-914851d2cb8a"
}
```
Save the received token value.
Execute the API request:
```
curl -H 'x-xsrf-token: <token>' -X POST "https://domain.com/vm/v3/repository/<repo_id>/update" -d ''
```
Comments to the command

<token> — authorization token
domain.com — domain name or IP address of the server with the platform
<repo_id> — id of the repository
