Ross Williams 729c83ee72 pre- and post-snapshot hooks
* stack-based execution model, documented in documentation
* circbuf for capturing hook output
* built-in hooks for postgres and mysql
* refactor docs, too much info on the jobs page, too difficult
  to discover snapshotting & hooks

.. _conf-runtime-directories:
Runtime Directories & UNIX Sockets
----------------------------------
The zrepl daemon needs to open various UNIX sockets in a runtime directory:
* a ``control`` socket that the CLI commands use to interact with the daemon
* the :ref:`transport-ssh+stdinserver` listener opens one socket per configured client, named after ``client_identity`` parameter
There is no authentication on these sockets except the UNIX permissions.
The zrepl daemon will refuse to bind any of the above sockets in a directory that is world-accessible.
The following sections of the ``global`` config shows the default paths.
The shell script below shows how the default runtime directory can be created.
::
global:
control:
sockpath: /var/run/zrepl/control
serve:
stdinserver:
sockdir: /var/run/zrepl/stdinserver
::
mkdir -p /var/run/zrepl/stdinserver
chmod -R 0700 /var/run/zrepl
Durations & Intervals
---------------------
Interval & duration fields in job definitions, pruning configurations, etc. must match the following regex:
::
var durationStringRegex *regexp.Regexp = regexp.MustCompile(`^\s*(\d+)\s*(s|m|h|d|w)\s*$`)
// s = second, m = minute, h = hour, d = day, w = week (7 days)
Super-Verbose Job Debugging
---------------------------
You have probably landed here because you opened an issue on GitHub and some developer told you to do this...
So just read the annotated comments ;)
::
job:
- name: ...
...
# JOB DEBUGGING OPTIONS
# should be equal for all job types, but each job implements the debugging itself
debug:
conn: # debug the io.ReadWriteCloser connection
read_dump: /tmp/connlog_read # dump results of Read() invocations to this file
write_dump: /tmp/connlog_write # dump results of Write() invocations to this file
rpc: # debug the RPC protocol implementation
log: true # log output from rpc layer to the job log
.. ATTENTION::
Connection dumps will almost certainly contain your or other's private data. Do not share it in a bug report.
