Project Server Package

This package contains the code for the Inox Project Server. The Project Server is basically an LSP server with extra features:

• Custom methods for debugging (Debug Adapter Protocol)
• Custom methods for accessing filesystems
• Custom methods for accessing project secrets
• Custom methods for creating and opening projects
• Custom methods for production management
• Custom methods for retrieving learning data (e.g. tutorials)

Subpackages:

• jsonrpc
• logs
• lsp: language-agnostic logic & types

Architecture

Current (temporary)

graph TB

Spawner(inoxd or user) --> |$ inox project-server -config='...'| InoxBinary


subgraph InoxBinary[Inox Binary]
    direction TB

    ProjectServer
    NodeAgent


    ProjectServer --> |asks to deploy/stop apps| NodeAgent

    NodeAgent --> InoxRuntime1
    NodeAgent --> InoxRuntime2

end

ProjectServer[Project Server] --> |stores data in| ProjectsDir
InoxRuntime1[Inox Runtime - App 1] --> |stores data in| ProdDir
InoxRuntime2[Inox Runtime - App 2] --> |stores data in| ProdDir


ProjectsDir(/var/lib/inoxd/projects)
ProdDir(/var/lib/inoxd/prod)

The next version is way more secure and resilient.

Next

In this version every important component runs in a separate inox process.

graph TB

Inoxd(inoxd) --> |$ inox project-server -config='...'| ProjectServer
Inoxd --> |spawns| NodeAgent
NodeAgent("Node Agent \n [uses cgroups]") --> |creates process| DeployedApp1(Deployed Application 1)
NodeAgent --> |creates process| DeployedApp2(Deployed Application 2)
DeployedApp1 --> |stores data in| ProdDir
DeployedApp2 --> |stores data in| ProdDir


ProjectServer[Project Server] --> |stores data in| ProjectsDir
ProjectServer --> |asks to deploy/stop apps| NodeAgent

ProjectsDir(/var/lib/inoxd/projects)
ProdDir(/var/lib/inoxd/prod)

The next version may be slightly different from what is planned here.
