Run some API operations in a background context. This should prevent some
of the SQLite "interrupted" errors, as those can occur when the context
closes while a query is running.
The API operations that Workers use are now mostly running in a separate
background context, at least from the moment onward when they can run
independently of the Worker connection.
For some reason, on Windows, creating a directory with zero permissions
still allows creating a file in there. Just skip that part of the test.
The Explorer's properties panel of the directory also shows "Read Only
(only applies to files)", so at least that seems consistent.
Add a SHA256 password hasher for worker authentication. It's not used at
the moment, but can be switched to for faster API queries. Note that
switching will cause authentication errors on already-existing workers,
which means they'll automatically re-register.
This is mostly useful for debugging & profiling purposes.
Move the Worker password hashing/comparison functions into a struct, and
use it via an interface. This will make it easier to switch to different
hashing algorithms.
Even with a low number of iterations, BCrypt is quite slow. That's good for
security, but not for Flamenco Worker authentication -- the password is
more as "nice check to avoid accidentally reusing the same ID" than
something for security.
In the first-time wizard, if Blender cannot be found on $PATH but it can
be found via .blend file association, that should just be reported as a
normal sitation, and not as a `500 Internal Server Error`.
This just updates the config and saves it to `flamenco-manager.yaml`.
Saving the configuration doesn't restart the Manager yet, that's for
another commit.
This adds a `-wizard` CLI option to the Manager, which opens a webbrowser
and shows the First-Time Wizard to aid in configuration of Flamenco.
This is work in progress. The wizard is just one page, and doesn't save
anything yet to the configuration.
Manager always creates an implicit variable `{jobs}`. This used to be
Shaman-dependent, but now it's always there (has been for a while). This
is now reflected in an add-on comment, and in an extra unit test.
The task logs storage system is refactored to use the `local_storage`
package. Configuration options have also changed:
- `task_logs_path` is renamed to `local_manager_storage_path`, to
emphasise that only the Manager deals with those files, with default
value `./flamenco-manager-storage`.
- `storage_path` is renamed to `shared_storage_path`, to emphasise this
is the storage shared between Manager and Workers, with default value
`./flamenco-shared-storage`.
Task logs are still stored in
`${local_manager_storage_path}/job-{jobUUID[0:4]}/{jobUUID}/task-{taskUUID}.txt`

Add a "Last Rendered" view to the webapp.
The Manager now stores (in the database) which job was the last
recipient of a rendered image, and serves that to the appropriate
OpenAPI endpoint.
A new SocketIO subscription + accompanying room makes it possible for
the web interface to receive all rendered images (if they survive the
queue, which discards images when it gets too full).
After processing an image in the "last-rendered" processor, a SocketIO
object is sent to clients to indicate the last-rendered image needs to
be (re)loaded.
This also moves the previously existing "done callback" from a single
function to a per-image callback, so that it can be called with the
right information in there, and only when that particular image is
actually done processing.
The notification message sent via SocketIO also contains the necessary
info to render the image, so that the web client doesn't have to call
the `fetchJobLastRenderedInfo` operation.
Add a handler for the OpenAPI `taskOutputProduced` operation, and an
image thumbnailing goroutine.
The queue of images to process + the function to handle queued images
is managed by `last_rendered.LastRenderedProcessor`. This queue currently
simply allows 3 requests; this should be improved such that it keeps
track of the job IDs as well, as with the current approach a spammy job
can starve the updates from a more calm job.
Move the code related to task updates from workers to
`worker_task_updates.go`. It's going to get more complex with the
blocklisting in there; this prepares for that.
No functional changes.
When a job or task gets requeued from the web interface, its task
failure lists (i.e. the list of workers that previously failed this
task) will be cleared.
This clearing doesn't happen in other situations, e.g. when a worker
signs off and its task gets requeued, the task's failure list will
remain as-is.
This fixes a bug where 'Worker undefined changed status' was logged in
the web interface, as that was (back then incorrectly) `workerupdate.name`.
Now that code is correct.
Before checking whether the Worker is allowed to do work (i.e. is in
`awake` state), check any queued-up status changes. Those should be
communicated, before saying "no work for you", so that the Worker can
actually respond to it.
When a Worker indicates a task failed, mark it as `soft-failed` until
enough workers have tried & failed at the same task.
This is the first step in a blocklisting system, where tasks of an
often-failing worker will be requeued to be retried by others.
NOTE: currently the failure list of a task is NOT reset whenever it is
requeued! This will be implemented in a future commit, and is tracked in
`FEATURES.md`.
`persistence.Model` contains the common database fields for most model
structs. It is a copy of `gorm.Model`, but without the `DeletedAt`
field (which triggers Gorm's soft deletion).
Soft deletion is not used by Flamenco. If it ever becomes necessary to
support soft-deletion, see https://gorm.io/docs/delete.html#Soft-Delete
When receiving a `TaskUpdate` from a Worker, write to the task log, before
handling any task status change.
If both log and task status change are sent, the log will likely contain
the cause of the task state change. Any subsequent task logs, for example
generated by the Manager in response to the status change, should be
logged after that.
Update the 'last seen at' timestamp of workers when they:
- sign on
- sign off
- get a task assigned
- send a task update
- check whether they can keep running their task
Note that this commit is necessary to not have the workers time out
immediately ;-)
Requeueing the tasks of a specific worker is now done in the
`TaskStateMachine`, such that it can be called from other services as
well in future commits.
This also makes the `LogStorage` service a dependency of the
`TaskStateMachine`, as it needs to write "this task was requeued" kind
of messages to the task logs.
