Working

So how does Stackbox work?

Docker infra

The whole project is based out of a docker-compose based core.

• master.yaml has a master list and docker services config for all stackbox supported services
• stack_box.sh is the starting point. It makes use of stack.py to generate a docker-compose.yaml from the master.yaml based on the params.
• stack_box.sh then uses the generated docker-compose.yaml to up the containers with any configurations if necessary
• All the containers thus end up communicating with each other on the same docker-network. The frontend, backend and services are bought together by this infra.

Pre-configured services

Most services are pre-configured to make sure the frontend and backend can seamlessly connect with each other.

1. MySQL

• Exposed on 3306
• Preloaded with database and tables from init.sql

2. Elasticsearch

• Exposed on 9200
• Single node cluster
• Populated in the stack index with some data in elasticsearch.py
• Can be bought up along with kibana (another stackbox supported service) to aid in querying.
