Securing DevOps's invoicer
==========================
A simple REST API that manages invoices.
This is the code for Chapter 2 of Securing DevOps. It only contains the code and
scripts relevant to the basic setup of the invoicer application and
infrastructure.
The master branch is kept at https://securing-devops.com/invoicer but if you are
interested in chapter-specific versions of the invoicer.
Get your own copy
-----------------
To try out the code in this repository, first create a fork in your own github
account. Now before you do anything, edit the file in `.circleci/config.yml` and
replace the `working_directory` parameter with your own namespace.
For example:
```yaml
working_directory: /go/src/github.com/Securing-DevOps/invoicer-chapter2
```
would become:
```yaml
working_directory: /go/src/github.com/jvehent/invoicer-chapter2
```
Then, sign up for circleci and build the project.The build will initially fail
because it lacks the Docker credentials to push the invoicer's image to
dockerhub.
Head over to hub.docker.com, create an account, then create a repository to store
the docker containers into, as explained in chapter 2.
Head back to CircleCi and in the "Project Setting", add the following
"Environment Variables" with the appropriate values.
- DOCKER_USER
- DOCKER_PASS
These variable will allow CircleCI to upload the docker container of the
invoicer into your own account. Once added, trigger a rebuild of the CircleCI
job and it should succeed and upload the container without issue.
You can then pull and run the container from your repository as follows:
```bash
$ docker run -it /invoicer
```
Build the AWS infrastructure
----------------------------
The script `create_ebs_env.sh` creates a complete AWS infrastructure ready to
host the invoicer. The script first creates a database, then an elastic
beanstalk environment, and finally deploys the docker container of the
invoicer. All you need to get started is creating an AWS account, then
create a local profile (see chapter 2 for details) and run the following:
```bash
$ export AWS_PROFILE=cloudservices-aws-dev
$ export AWS_REGION=eu-west-1
$ ./create_ebs_env.sh
```
The script will outputs resources name and credentials for the new environment.

```
Manual build
------------
Build a statically linked invoicer binary. Requires Go 1.6.
```bash
$ mkdir bin
$ go build --ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' -o bin/invoicer .
```
Then build the container.
```bash
$ docker build -t securingdevops/invoicer .
```
Database Configuration
----------------------
The invoicer will automatically create a local sqlite database by default, but
if you want to run with postgres, follow these instructions.
Create a postgres database named `invoicer` and grant user `invoicer` full
access to it.
```sql
CREATE DATABASE invoicer;
CREATE ROLE invoicer;
ALTER ROLE invoicer WITH NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB LOGIN PASSWORD 'invoicer';
ALTER DATABASE invoicer OWNER TO invoicer;
```
When running PG and Docker on the same box, configure `pg_hba` to allow the
local docker network to connect.
```bash
...
# trust local docker hosts
host all all 172.17.0.0/16 trust
```
Run
---
```bash
$ docker run -it \
-e INVOICER_USE_POSTGRES="yes" \
-e INVOICER_POSTGRES_USER="invoicer" \
-e INVOICER_POSTGRES_PASSWORD="invoicer" \
-e INVOICER_POSTGRES_HOST="172.17.0.1" \
-e INVOICER_POSTGRES_DB="invoicer" \
-e INVOICER_POSTGRES_SSLMODE="disable" \
