Trinidad sandbox extension

# DESCRIPTION

Trinidad’s management console and REST api.

This extension adds a management console to a Trinidad’s instance moreover a rest api to access the applications running on top of it.

# INSTALL

jruby -S gem install trinidad_sandbox_extension

# CONFIGURATION

The extension has to be added within the section “extensions” into the Trinidad’s configuration file:

---

extensions:
  sandbox:

This extension is also a Sinatra web application running on top of Trinidad, so any application configuration parameter is also valid here. For instance, we can modify the context path where is running the console:

---

extensions:
  sandbox:
    context_path: management # by default the context path is sandbox

It also supports basic authentication, we’ll have to specify the username and password within our section:

---

extensions:
  sandbox:
    username: manager
    password: XXXXXXX

# FEATURES

The console as well as the REST api allow to list all the applications managed by that Trinidad’s instance and start/stop them. By security reasons the sandbox application is not listed nor can be stopped.

# TODO

This can be the starting point to a real management console, we could modify application parameters, show statistics… Any improvement or redesign in the UI is welcome.
