influxdb.shar file

New port:

An open-source, distributed, time series database with no external dependencies.
InfluxDB is the new home for all of your metrics, events, and analytics.

InfluxDB is a time series, metrics, and analytics database. It'written in Go and
has no external dependencies. That means once you install it there's nothing
else to manage (like Redis, ZooKeeper, HBase, or whatever).

InfluxDB is targeted at use cases for DevOps, metrics, sensor data, and
real-time analytics. It arose from our need for a database like this on more
than a few previous products we' built. You can read more about our jurney from
SaaS application to open source time series database.

Comment 3 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-02-28 01:18:23 UTC
Thanks for the huge amount of work in this port, the rewriting between 0.8 to 0.9 is ... extensive.


I tidied up the port structure a bit, see https://github.com/skunkwerks/freebsd-ports/commit/4c9fa11 in particular:

- trying to get the daemon name (influxd) and the port name (influxdb) lined up again.
- the shas in distinfo didn't match what the scripts expect, so those are fixed too. I think this is go version drift in action.
- I added a dedicated influxdb user account for cleaner security
- used /usr/sbin/daemon to manage influxd itself. While influxdb *may* provide this functionality now (I didn't look closely enough), daemon is more trusted code than a relatively new go service.

Unfortunately I've not gotten this all working completely yet, but it seems subjectively cleaner to me this way. I hope its useful. portlint & initial building on 10.1 amd64.

Comment 4 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-02 23:00:32 UTC
It seems that the go dependencies that are downloaded are always latest commit on master branch. A not uncommon go packaging problem. I don't know what the right way to address this is, but clearly the current approach won't get us a repeatable build. It seems github.com/tools/godep has reasonable support. Is this going to be a suitable dependency to help manage this more effectively?

Sadly I'm away on 6 weeks vacation but may have time to look into this on return. Thanks for getting a working port in the first place!
Comment 5 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-02 23:57:36 UTC
Dependencies from master branches on Github is very very likely untenable for ports.

iirc, there was a fledgling implementation of a bsd.go.mk (possibly now in USES=go form) that aimed to address the question of Go dependency management in the ports framework.

CC'ing current lang/golang maintainer in on this, who may be able to provide more detail.
Comment 6 cheffo 2015-03-03 07:21:07 UTC
I'll fix the port to download the correct commits from github (I though I already did this, but looks like I misunderstood github "download" process). Thus creating a snapshot which should stay the same.

Of course it will be much easier if our ports framework does support better those repos (and multiple distfiles) better and a porter can only define commit tags and get stuff done.
Comment 7 cheffo 2015-03-03 07:59:35 UTC
This will fix the github download issue:

MASTER_SITES=   GITHUB:github   \
                https://codeload.github.com/BurntSushi/toml/legacy.tar.gz/443a628?dummy=/:toml \

                https://codeload.github.com/rakyll/statik/legacy.tar.gz/4a16c83?dummy=/:statik \


But no idea how to fix the issue with googlecode.com and googlesource.com
It's just drifting.

P.S. Dave - I really like this:
- I added a dedicated influxdb user account for cleaner security
- used /usr/sbin/daemon to manage influxd itself

Influx do not support background mode right now, so using /usr/sbin/daemon looks the right approach to me.
Comment 8 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-03 08:16:07 UTC
AFAICT the issue is that `go get` $THING retrieves upstream packages afresh. I found the same issue when doing the OSX port for hugo, a go static site engine.

I'm not sure yet if /usr/ports/lang/go/files/bsd.go.mk correctly handles versioning of dependent components; I can't see how e.g. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/security/go.crypto/Makefile seems to get things right, as the bsd.go.mk file has no smarts.

Is the best option is to implement a port of godep, and then use a godep file as a patch that specifies the required dependencies?

@cheffo BTW I am on efnet/#freebsdports as dch if you want to discuss over IRC.

The best long-term solution is probably to extend bsd.go.mk so that it can simply be given a list of tuples for dependencies, extracted from Godep output, and it will Do The Right Thing wrt fetching and updating:

{
	"ImportPath": "github.com/influxdb/influxdb",
	"GoVersion": "go1.4.2",
	"Deps": [
		{
			"ImportPath": "github.com/boltdb/bolt",
			"Comment": "v1.0-43-gcf33c9e",
			"Rev": "cf33c9e0ca0a23509b8bb8edfc63e4776bb1a330"
		},
		{
			"ImportPath": "golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt",
			"Rev": "1351f936d976c60a0a48d728281922cf63eafb8d"
		},
		{
			"ImportPath": "golang.org/x/crypto/blowfish",
			"Rev": "1351f936d976c60a0a48d728281922cf63eafb8d"
		}
	]
}

But that's beyond my skills at present.
Comment 9 cheffo 2015-03-03 08:39:55 UTC
I'm not sure about "go get". It updates only if you use -u (which I do not) or if the dependency is missing. Have in mind that poudriere build jails do not have network so if "go get" tries to fetch something the "tesport" will fail.

Something like godep as part of our go support will be great, but again I do not see how this will fix the "drift" issue with googlecode.

You can ignore the FATAL error - it's because I keep my ports in "local".

I believe all known and discussed here issues are resolved with latest archive.
Comment 15 Dave Cottlehuber freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-04 22:00:00 UTC
+1 awesome work/teamwork :D

- builds ok for me on 8.4, 9.3, 10.1 all amd64
- ship it already please!

alternatively 0.9.0 official release might come soon, maybe worth waiting for that.

Maybe make sense to use git tag after all? I.e. lock it to one of those RC builds.
Comment 17 cheffo 2015-06-16 08:11:08 UTC

Updating this port to 0.9 is (somewhere) in my TODO list :)

Thanks for the work on this. Recently, support for multiple github repos was added to ports. It would be good if this port could use that. It should be easier to port and maintain that way. See sysutils/serf as one of many examples. I'll try to work on updating this to use that and post an updated patch, but if you get it done first, that's fine too.

Updated patch

Here's an updated patch that doesn't have mercurial or git in the build deps. They aren't necessary since we have ports grab all the deps and put them in place. Likewise, there's no need to 'go get' since we have the deps. We just need to build/install. I also made some other cleanups. If this looks OK to you, I'll commit it.
Comment 26 cheffo 2015-06-26 09:04:10 UTC
Yep, you are right we do not need mercurial and git as dependency now :)
I'm fine with the changes, feel free to commit.

Thanks!
