iRODS Microservices

Miscellaneous iRODS microservices originally developed by Utrecht University.

Included microservices

• msiCreateEpicPID: API call to register an Epic PID
• msiDeleteEpicPID: API call to delete an Epic PID
• msiGetEpicPID: API call to get an Epic PID
• msiUpdateEpicPID: API call to update metadata for an Epic PID

Installation

iRODS microservices can be installed using the packages provided on the releases page

You can also build the microservices yourself, see Building from source.

Building from source

To build from source, the following build-time dependencies must be installed:

• make
• irods-dev
• irods-externals-cmake3.11.4
• irods-externals-clang6.0
• libboost-dev
• libcurl-openssl-dev
• libjansson-dev
• libarchive-dev

apt-get install irods-dev irods-externals-cmake3.11.4 irods-externals-clang6.0 make libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-dev libjansson-dev libarchive-dev

Follow these instructions to build from source:

• First, browse to the directory where you have unpacked the source distribution.

• Check whether your umask is set to a sane value. If the output of umask is not 0022, run umask 0022 to fix it. This is important for avoiding conflicts in created packages later on.

• Compile the project

export PATH=/opt/irods-externals/cmake3.11.4-0/bin:$PATH
cmake .
make

Now you can either build a DEB or install the project without a package manager.

To create a package:

make package

That's it, you should now have a DEB in your build directory which you can install using apt.

To install without creating a package

make install

This will install the .so files into the microservice plugin directory.
