A prototype gRPC service providing OS process execution and monitoring, written in Go.

Build & CI

The default make workflow uses the multi-stage Docker build feature in order to set up an environment with tool versions specified in the build.env file, ensuring fast, predictable and reproducible results.

The basic available make targets are:

• build (default)
• test
• gen to generate Go files for Protobuf & mocks
• check-gen to verify that the generated files, the Go module dependencies, etc., are in sync with the codebase

The actual build steps performed by Docker are defined in Makefile.local. By invoking

make -f Makefile.local

it is therefore possible to avoid the intermediate container layers and to perform the actions associated with a build target directly on the local host system.

Finally, one can also locally execute the GitHub CI Actions using make ci provided the act tool is installed on the system. This is especially useful to do as a last general check before pushing to the mainline repository.
