## Prerequisites

Install the dependencies. On Debian/Ubuntu:

```bash
apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config libssl-dev flex bison libelf-dev
```

Then, configure the Rust toolchain and install [Just](https://github.com/casey/just):

```bash
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo install just
```

Finally, install [the protobuf compiler](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf?tab=readme-ov-file#protobuf-compiler-installation).

## Run Locally

### Clone the project

```bash
git clone https://github.com/virt-do/cloudlet
```

### Setup

Go to the project directory:

```bash
cd cloudlet
```

Create a TOML config file or update the [existing one](./src/cli/examples/config.toml):

```bash
cat << EOF > src/cli/examples/config.toml
workload-name = "fibonacci"
language = "rust"
action = "prepare-and-run"
[server]
address = "localhost"
port = 50051
[build]
source-code-path = "$(readlink -f ./src/cli/examples/main.rs)"
release = true
EOF
```

Make sure to update the `source-code-path` to the path of the source code you want to run.
Use an absolute path.

[Here](#config-file) are more informations about each field

### Start the VMM

> [!WARNING]
> Make sure to replace `CARGO_PATH` environment variable with the path to your cargo binary
>
> ```bash
> export CARGO_PATH=$(which cargo)
> ```
```bash
sudo -E capsh --keep=1 --user=$USER --inh=cap_net_admin --addamb=cap_net_admin -- -c 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1 '$CARGO_PATH' run --bin vmm -- grpc'
```
### Run the API

```bash
cargo run --bin api
```

### Send the request using the CLI

```bash
cargo run --bin cli -- run --config-path src/cli/examples/config.toml
```

> [!NOTE]
> If it's your first time running the request, `cloudlet` will have to compile a kernel and an initramfs image.
> This will take a while, so make sure you do something else while you wait...
## Architecture

Here is a simple sequence diagram of Cloudlet:

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant CLI
participant API
participant VMM
participant Agent
CLI->>API: HTTP Request /run
API->>VMM: gRPC Request to create VM
VMM->>Agent: Creation of the VM
VMM->>Agent: gRPC Request to the agent
Agent->>Agent: Build and run code
Agent-->>VMM: Stream Response
VMM-->>API: Stream Response
API-->>CLI: HTTP Response
```

1. The CLI sends an HTTP request to the API which in turn sends a gRPC request to the VMM
2. The VMM then creates a VM
3. When a VM starts it boots on the agent which holds another gRPC server to handle requests
4. The agent then builds and runs the code
5. The response is streamed back to the VMM and then to the API and finally to the CLI.
