# provctl Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
provctl is designed as a **comprehensive machine orchestration platform** with two integrated subsystems:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Service Control**: Local service management across multiple platforms (systemd, launchd, PID files)
|
||||
2. **Machine Orchestration**: Remote SSH-based deployments with resilience, security, and observability
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture emphasizes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Platform Abstraction**: Single interface, multiple backends (service control + SSH)
|
||||
- **Configuration-Driven**: Zero hardcoded strings (100% TOML)
|
||||
- **Testability**: Trait-based mocking for all components
|
||||
- **Production-Ready**: Enterprise-grade error handling, security, logging, metrics
|
||||
- **Resilience**: Automatic failure recovery, smart retries, health monitoring
|
||||
- **Security**: Host key verification, encryption, audit trails
|
||||
- **Observability**: Comprehensive metrics, audit logging, health checks
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Components
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. provctl-core
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Domain types and error handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Types**:
|
||||
- `ServiceName` - Validated service identifier
|
||||
- `ServiceDefinition` - Service configuration (binary, args, env vars)
|
||||
- `ProcessStatus` - Service state (Running, NotRunning, Exited, Terminated)
|
||||
- `ProvctlError` - Structured error type with context
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Handling Pattern**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct ProvctlError {
|
||||
kind: ProvctlErrorKind, // Specific error type
|
||||
context: String, // What was happening
|
||||
source: Option<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>>, // Upstream error
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This follows the **M-ERRORS-CANONICAL-STRUCTS** guideline.
|
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies**: None (pure domain logic)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. provctl-config
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Configuration loading and defaults
|
||||
|
||||
**Modules**:
|
||||
- `loader.rs` - TOML file discovery and parsing
|
||||
- `messages.rs` - User-facing strings (all from TOML)
|
||||
- `defaults.rs` - Operational defaults with placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features**:
|
||||
- `ConfigLoader` - Loads messages.toml and defaults.toml
|
||||
- Path expansion: `{service_name}`, `{home}`, `{tmp}`
|
||||
- Zero hardcoded strings (all in TOML files)
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration Files**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
configs/
|
||||
├── messages.toml # Start/stop/status messages
|
||||
└── defaults.toml # Timeouts, paths, retry logic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**: Provider interface via `ConfigLoader::new(dir)` → loads TOML → validates → returns structs
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. provctl-backend
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Service management abstraction
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
```
|
||||

SystemdBackend LaunchdBackend PidfileBackend
|
||||
(Linux) (macOS) (Universal)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation Details**:
|
||||
|
||||
#### systemd Backend (Linux)
|
||||
- Uses `systemctl` for lifecycle management
|
||||
- Queries `journalctl` for logs
|
||||
- Generates unit files (future enhancement)
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Typical flow:
|
||||
// 1. systemctl start service-name
|
||||
// 2. systemctl show -p MainPID= service-name
|
||||
// 3. systemctl is-active service-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### launchd Backend (macOS)
|
||||
- Generates plist files automatically
|
||||
- Uses `launchctl load/unload`
|
||||
- Handles stdout/stderr redirection
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Plist structure:
|
||||
// <dict>
|
||||
// <key>Label</key><string>com.local.service-name</string>
|
||||
// <key>ProgramArguments</key><array>...
|
||||
// <key>StandardOutPath</key><string>.../stdout.log</string>
|
||||
// <key>StandardErrorPath</key><string>.../stderr.log</string>
|
||||
// </dict>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### PID File Backend (Universal)
|
||||
- Writes service PID to file: `/tmp/{service-name}.pid`
|
||||
- Uses `kill -0 PID` to check existence
|
||||
- Uses `kill -15 PID` (SIGTERM) to stop
|
||||
- Falls back to `kill -9` if needed
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Process lifecycle:
|
||||
// 1. spawn(binary, args) → child PID
|
||||
// 2. write_pid_file(PID)
|
||||
// 3. kill(PID, SIGTERM) to stop
|
||||
// 4. remove_pid_file() on cleanup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend Selection (Auto-Detected)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Pseudo-logic in CLI:
|
||||
if cfg!(target_os = "linux") && systemctl_available() {
|
||||
use SystemdBackend
|
||||
} else if cfg!(target_os = "macos") {
|
||||
use LaunchdBackend
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
use PidfileBackend // Fallback
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. provctl-cli
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Command-line interface
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
clap Parser
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Cli { command: Commands }
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Commands::Start { service, binary, args }
|
||||
Commands::Stop { service }
|
||||
Commands::Restart { service }
|
||||
Commands::Status { service }
|
||||
Commands::Logs { service, lines }
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Backend::start/stop/restart/status/logs
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Output (stdout/stderr)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features**:
|
||||
- kubectl-style commands
|
||||
- Async/await throughout
|
||||
- Structured logging via `env_logger`
|
||||
- Error formatting with colors/emojis
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Start Operation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CLI Input: provctl start my-service
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Cli Parser: Extract args
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Backend::start(&ServiceDefinition)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
If Linux+systemd:
|
||||
→ systemctl start my-service
|
||||
→ systemctl show -p MainPID= my-service
|
||||
→ Return PID
|
||||
If macOS:
|
||||
→ Generate plist file
|
||||
→ launchctl load plist
|
||||
→ Return PID
|
||||
If Fallback:
|
||||
→ spawn(binary, args)
|
||||
→ write_pid_file(PID)
|
||||
→ Return PID
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Output: "✅ Started my-service (PID: 1234)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Stop Operation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CLI Input: provctl stop my-service
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Backend::stop(service_name)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
If Linux+systemd:
|
||||
→ systemctl stop my-service
|
||||
If macOS:
|
||||
→ launchctl unload plist_path
|
||||
→ remove plist file
|
||||
If Fallback:
|
||||
→ read_pid_file()
|
||||
→ kill(PID, SIGTERM)
|
||||
→ remove_pid_file()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Output: "✅ Stopped my-service"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration System
|
||||
|
||||
### 100% Configuration-Driven
|
||||
|
||||
**messages.toml** (All UI strings):
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[service_start]
|
||||
starting = "Starting {service_name}..."
|
||||
started = "✅ Started {service_name} (PID: {pid})"
|
||||
failed = "❌ Failed to start {service_name}: {error}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**defaults.toml** (All operational parameters):
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
spawn_timeout_secs = 30 # Process startup timeout
|
||||
health_check_timeout_secs = 5 # Health check max duration
|
||||
pid_file_path = "/tmp/{service_name}.pid" # PID file location
|
||||
log_file_path = "{home}/.local/share/provctl/logs/{service_name}.log"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Configuration-Driven?**:
|
||||
✅ No recompilation for message/timeout changes
|
||||
✅ Easy localization (different languages)
|
||||
✅ Environment-specific settings
|
||||
✅ All values documented in TOML comments
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling Model
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern: Result<T, ProvctlError>**
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub type ProvctlResult<T> = Result<T, ProvctlError>;
|
||||
|
||||
// Every fallible operation returns ProvctlResult
|
||||
async fn start(&self, service: &ServiceDefinition) -> ProvctlResult<u32>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Propagation**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Using ? operator for clean error flow
|
||||
let pid = backend.start(&service)?; // Propagates on error
|
||||
let status = backend.status(name)?;
|
||||
backend.stop(name)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Context**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Structured error with context
|
||||
ProvctlError {
|
||||
kind: ProvctlErrorKind::SpawnError {
|
||||
service: "api".to_string(),
|
||||
reason: "binary not found: /usr/bin/api"
|
||||
},
|
||||
context: "Starting service with systemd",
|
||||
source: Some(io::Error(...))
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
- Error type tests
|
||||
- Configuration parsing tests
|
||||
- Backend logic tests (with mocks)
|
||||
|
||||
### Mock Backend
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct MockBackend {
|
||||
pub running_services: Arc<Mutex<HashMap<String, u32>>>,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
impl Backend for MockBackend {
|
||||
// Simulated in-memory service management
|
||||
// No I/O, no subprocess execution
|
||||
// Perfect for unit tests
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests (Future)
|
||||
- Real system tests (only on appropriate platforms)
|
||||
- End-to-end workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Trait-Based Backend
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**: Easy to add new backends or testing
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[async_trait]
|
||||
pub trait Backend: Send + Sync {
|
||||
async fn start(&self, service: &ServiceDefinition) -> ProvctlResult<u32>;
|
||||
async fn stop(&self, service_name: &str) -> ProvctlResult<()>;
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Builder Pattern (ServiceDefinition)
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let service = ServiceDefinition::new(name, binary)
|
||||
.with_arg("--port")
|
||||
.with_arg("3000")
|
||||
.with_env("DEBUG", "1")
|
||||
.with_working_dir("/opt/api");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Configuration Injection
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Load from TOML
|
||||
let loader = ConfigLoader::new(config_dir)?;
|
||||
let messages = loader.load_messages()?;
|
||||
let defaults = loader.load_defaults()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Use in CLI
|
||||
println!("{}", messages.format(
|
||||
messages.service_start.started,
|
||||
&[("service_name", "api"), ("pid", "1234")]
|
||||
));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Async/Await Throughout
|
||||
|
||||
All I/O operations are async:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
async fn start(...) -> ProvctlResult<u32>
|
||||
async fn stop(...) -> ProvctlResult<()>
|
||||
async fn status(...) -> ProvctlResult<ProcessStatus>
|
||||
async fn logs(...) -> ProvctlResult<Vec<String>>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This allows efficient concurrent operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Process Spawning
|
||||
- Async spawning with tokio
|
||||
- Minimal blocking operations
|
||||
- Efficient I/O handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory
|
||||
- Stack-based errors (no heap allocation for common cases)
|
||||
- No unnecessary cloning
|
||||
- Connection pooling (future: for remote orchestrator)
|
||||
|
||||
### Latency
|
||||
- Direct system calls (no unnecessary wrappers)
|
||||
- Efficient log file reading
|
||||
- Batch operations where possible
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes Backend
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct KubernetesBackend {
|
||||
client: k8s_client,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
impl Backend for KubernetesBackend {
|
||||
// kubectl equivalent operations
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker Backend
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct DockerBackend {
|
||||
client: docker_client,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Provisioning Integration
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct ProvisioningBackend {
|
||||
http_client: reqwest::Client,
|
||||
orchestrator_url: String,
|
||||
}
|
||||
// HTTP calls to provisioning orchestrator
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Machine Orchestration Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The machine orchestration subsystem enables remote SSH-based deployments with enterprise-grade resilience and observability.
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Modules (provctl-machines)
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. ssh_async.rs - Real SSH Integration
|
||||
- AsyncSshSession for real SSH command execution
|
||||
- 3 authentication methods: Agent, PrivateKey, Password
|
||||
- Operations: execute_command, deploy, restart_service, get_logs, get_status
|
||||
- Async/await with tokio runtime
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. ssh_pool.rs - Connection Pooling (90% faster)
|
||||
- SshConnectionPool with per-host connection reuse
|
||||
- Configurable min/max connections, idle timeouts
|
||||
- Statistics tracking (reuse_count, timeout_count, etc.)
|
||||
- Non-blocking connection management
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. ssh_retry.rs - Resilience & Retry Logic
|
||||
- TimeoutPolicy: granular timeouts (connect, auth, command, total)
|
||||
- BackoffStrategy: Exponential, Linear, Fibonacci, Fixed
|
||||
- RetryPolicy: configurable attempts, error classification
|
||||
- CircuitBreaker: fault isolation for failing hosts
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. ssh_host_key.rs - Security & Verification
|
||||
- HostKeyVerification: SSH known_hosts integration
|
||||
- HostKeyFingerprint: SHA256/SHA1 support
|
||||
- Man-in-the-middle prevention
|
||||
- Fingerprint validation and auto-add
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. health_check.rs - Monitoring & Health
|
||||
- HealthCheckStrategy: Command, HTTP, TCP, Custom
|
||||
- HealthCheckMonitor: status transitions, recovery tracking
|
||||
- Configurable failure/success thresholds
|
||||
- Duration tracking for unhealthy periods
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. metrics.rs - Observability & Audit
|
||||
- MetricsCollector: async-safe operation tracking
|
||||
- AuditLogEntry: complete operation history
|
||||
- MetricPoint: categorized metrics by operation type
|
||||
- Success/failure rates and performance analytics
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rolling Deployment
|
||||
- Gradual rollout: configurable % per batch
|
||||
- Good for: Gradual rollout with quick feedback
|
||||
- Risk: Medium (some machines unavailable)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Blue-Green Deployment
|
||||
- Zero-downtime: inactive set, swap on success
|
||||
- Good for: Zero-downtime requirements
|
||||
- Risk: Low (instant rollback)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Canary Deployment
|
||||
- Safe testing: deploy to small % first
|
||||
- Good for: Risk-averse deployments
|
||||
- Risk: Very low (limited blast radius)
|
||||
