rename and centralize our tools

[jonenst]

• wipe doesn't wipe (it creates a new db and changes the name of the current db in the config database)
• replicate doesn't really replicate (it ensures the couchdb replication is running by repeatadily starting it. Just because couchdb sometimes stops replicating), and it does a lot more ( sends text messages, fixes bib input errors and merges conflicts).

something like this ?
loader -> stk-load-contestants
wipe -> stk-create-new-db
replicate -> stk-race-controller

we could put everything in a single docker image with the correct entrypoint:
something like this ?

docker run stk load-contestants
docker run stk controller checkpoint 2

Creating a unique application would probably ease testing and maintenance. I am all for it.

replicate which would probably be (as the largest application today) the host for those new applications already handles subcommands.

Let's say the new binary is named stk and this binary handles subcommands, what do you think about:

• replicate checkpoint -> stk checkpoint
• replicate init -> stk init
• replicate master -> stk master
• replicate mirror -> stk mirror
• replicate slave -> stk slave
• wipe -> stk create-new-db
• loader -> stk load-contestants
• stats -> stk simulate-race

Except for simulate-race which does not convince me (since it doesn't simulate a full race), I like those suggestions.

Maybe we can find a nice convention to show which commands spawn serveurs ans which commands do a task and then exit Le lun. 4 janv. 2021 à 00:01, Samuel Tardieu <[email protected]> a écrit :

My 2 cents:

replicate master -> stk captain
replicate slave -> stk crew
