Two-way variable implementation in the job submission end-point. Where
Flamenco v2 did the variable replacement in the add-on, this has now
been moved to the Manager itself. The only thing the add-on needs to
pass is its platform, so that the right values can be recognised.
This also implements two-way replacement when tasks are handed out, such
that the `{jobs}` value gets replaced to a value suitable for the
Worker's platform as well.
Trigger the first-time wizard on first-time runs of Flamenco, by defaulting
the storage path to the empty string.
The wizard can always be triggered with the `-wizard` CLI argument. This is
just for detection of first-time / unconfigured runs.
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.
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`

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`.
Tasks that are in state `active` but haven't been 'touched' by a Worker
for 10 minutes or longer will transition to state `failed`.
In the future, it might be better to move the decision about which state
is suitable to the Task State Machine service, so that it can be smarter
and take the history of the task into account. Going to `soft-failed`
first might be a nice touch.
Flamenco Manager now has a "storage path" config option, which will be
used by Shaman if enabled. Now the `{jobs}` implicit variable will always
exist, its value depending on whether Shaman is enabled or not.
Flamenco v2 allowed separate configuration of the Shaman file store and
checkout paths. This is now just one setting for "the storage". The file
store will be in `{storage}/file-store` and the checkout will happen in
`{storage}/jobs`.
This introduces some more conceptual changes to Shaman. The most important
one is that there is no longer a "checkout ID", but a "checkout path".
The Shaman client can request any subpath of the checkout directory,
so that it can handle things like project- or scene-specific prefixes.
A boolean provides less context to the setting, so it's not as easy to
understand. However, in this case the simple case will have `is_twoway=false` and be ommitted from the configuration file. This makes the simple case even simpler.
Comment out all unused-but-desired-in-the-future settings, remove some
settings that will never be used, and rename `ssdp_discovery` to
`autodiscoverable`.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
