## Getting Started

### macOS

macOS developers will need:

* [command line tools] or [xcode]
* [brew]

[command line tools]: https://developer.apple.com/downloads
[xcode]: https://developer.apple.com/downloads
[brew]: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew

```
# Download the code
git clone git@github.com:coreos-inc/quay.git && cd quay

# Install the system dependencies
brew install libevent libmagic postgresql gpgme [pyenv] pyenv-virtualenv docker docker-machine

# create a default virtualmachine for docker
docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

# setup brew dependencies
# note you may want to add these to your bashrc or zshrc file
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval $(/usr/local/bin/docker-machine env default)

# Some installs don't have /usr/include, required for finding SASL header files
# http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/196224/unix-ln-s-command-not-permitted-in-osx-el-capitan-beta3
# note this command might fail because of new OSx write protections here above is a link that explains
# how to fix that
if [ ! -e /usr/include ]; then sudo ln -s `xcrun --show-sdk-path`/usr/include /usr/include; fi

# Install the Python dependencies
pyenv install 2.7.11
pyenv virtualenv 2.7.11 quay
pyenv activate quay

# Some packages may fail to build with clang (which now defaults to C11).
CFLAGS='-std=c99' pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

# Setup a local config
git clone git@github.com:coreos-inc/quay-config.git ../quay-config
ln -s ../../quay-config/local conf/stack
```

### Linux

TODO

## Running and Testing

### Test Data

A SQLite database full of test data is committed to this git repository at `test/data/test.db`.
This database is generated by executing `python initdb.py`.
The username and password of the admin test account is `devtable` and `password`, respectively.

### Local Scripts

* `local-run` runs the web server for testing
* `local-test` runs the unit test suite

### Development inside Docker

To build and run a development container, pass one argument to local-docker.sh:

- `buildman`: run the buildmanager
- `dev`: run web server on port 5000
- `initdb`: clear and initialize the test database
- `notifications`: run the notification worker
- `test`: run the unit test suite

### Adding a Python Dependency

```
# Create a new virtualenv and activate it
pyenv virtualenv 2.7.11 quay-deps
pyenv activate quay-deps

# Install unversioned dependencies with your changes
pip install -r requirements-nover.txt

# Run the unit test suite
./local-test.sh

# Freeze the versions of all of the dependencies
pip freeze > requirements.txt
```

### Running the Build System

TODO

```
# Run an instance of redis
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 quay.io/quay/redis
```

### Architecture at a Glance

TODO

### Terminology

#### Organizations

- **AppC**: a standards body responsible for a _Runtime_ and _Image Format_ superseded by the _Open Container Initiative_
- **Open Container Initiative**: a standards body responsible for a _Runtime_ specification and an _Image Format_
- **Docker**: a company that builds a platform that has its own _Image Formats_, _Build System_, _Container Runtime_, and _Container Orchestration_

#### Concepts

- **Image**: an archive containing all of the contents necessary to execute a container
- **Image Format**: a specification for the structure of an _Image_
- **Image Layer**: an _Image_ that may depend on being applied to other _Images_ to generate a final _Image_
- **Image Squashing**: the process of compressing an _Image_ into a single _Layer_
- **Manifest**: a text file containing metadata for a particular _Image_
- **Tag**: a human-friendly named, mutable pointer to a particular set of _Images_
- **Build System**: a program used to generate _Images_
- **Registry**: a program that speaks one or more standard protocols to store and receive _Images_
- **Repository**: a collection of related _Tags_ organized by a _Registry_
- **Push**: the act of uploading an _Image_ to a _Registry_
- **Pull**: the act of downloading an _Image_ from a _Registry_
- **Container**: an _Image_ and its execution environment
- **Container Runtime**: a program that can transform an _Image_ into a _Container_ by executing it
- **Container Orchestration**: a program or set of programs that provides a framework for deploying _Containers_

#### Software

- **Quay.io**: CoreOS's hosted _Registry_
- **Quay**: CoreOS's enterprise-grade _Registry_ product
- **quayctl**: an open source program that implements alternative methods for _pulling_ _Images_ from _Quay_
- **Clair**: an open source static analysis tool used to detect vulnerability in _Images_
- **Quay Security Scanning**: the integration between _Clair_ and _Quay_
- **Kubernetes**: an open source program implementing _Container Orchestration_
- **Docker Hub**: Docker's hosted _Registry_
- **Docker Trusted Registry**: Docker's enterprise-grade _Registry_ product
- **Notary**: an open source implementation of the TUF protocol used in _Docker Content Trust_
- **Docker Content Trust**: the integration between _Notary_ and _Docker Trusted Registry_
- **Docker Engine**: a program used to interact with all aspects of the Docker platform
- **Swarm**: a program implementing _Container Orchestration_ for the Docker platform
