Hydra Agent GUI

This is a GUI for the Hydra Ecosystem's Agent. It's divided in two parts: the left side shows the Hydra API as a linked graph and at the right you have a generic console built based on the API Documentation that you can use to query the API. The Frontend was built with React, a middle layer to use the Agent was built with Flask.

Installing Requirements

It's recommended that you use venv(virtual environment):

sudo apt-get install python3-venv # If not installed
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Running Redis Graph

The Agent uses a Redis local server as a caching layer. That said, it's necessary that you run Redis Graph locally:

sudo ./redis_setup.sh # <- Might be necessary to uso sudo

Running hydrus server

Since this is an API Client, we need an appropriate hydrus server to query to. To setup a localhost follow the instructions at https://github.com/HTTP-APIs/hydrus#demo.

Running the GUI

If you've installed the Requirements and have the proper Redis running you can simply:

python3 app.py

Now open your browser and enjoy at: http://localhost:3000/

Contributing to the GUI

This repository is divided in two parts, the Middle-Layer/Backend with Flask under app.py and the React project under the folder console-frontend.

The Flask Backend is built to communicate with the Python Agent package. It declares five endpoints which are used for this:

• send-command - Send Commands to Agent and returns the server response
• /hydra-doc - Simply serves the Hydra Doc
• apidoc-graph - Fetches Hydra Doc from the Agent, process it in Vis.js Network format and returns it to the GUI
• /start-agent - Simply starts/restarts the Agent with the URL parameter
• / - Serves the React build under /console-frontend/build

The React Frontend

Go the the README.md inside console-frontend for further information. If you make modifications inside console-frontend, make sure to run npm run build to create a updated production build.
