# Orchard
**Content-Addressable Storage System**
Orchard is a centralized binary artifact storage system that provides content-addressable storage with automatic deduplication, flexible access control, and multi-format package support. Like an orchard that cultivates and distributes fruit, Orchard nurtures and distributes the products of software builds.
## Features
### Currently Implemented
- **Content-Addressable Storage** - Artifacts are stored and referenced by their SHA256 hash, ensuring deduplication and data integrity
- **Grove/Tree/Fruit Hierarchy** - Organized storage structure:
- **Grove** - Top-level project container
- **Tree** - Named package within a grove
- **Fruit** - Specific artifact instance identified by SHA256
- **Grafts (Tags/Versions)** - Alias system for referencing artifacts by human-readable names (e.g., `v1.0.0`, `latest`, `stable`)
- **S3-Compatible Backend** - Uses MinIO (or any S3-compatible storage) for artifact storage
- **PostgreSQL Metadata** - Relational database for metadata, access control, and audit trails
- **REST API** - Full HTTP API for all operations
- **Web UI** - Browser-based interface for managing artifacts
- **Docker Compose Setup** - Easy local development environment
### API Endpoints
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `GET` | `/` | Web UI |
| `GET` | `/health` | Health check |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/groves` | List all groves |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/groves` | Create a new grove |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/groves/:grove` | Get grove details |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/trees` | List trees in a grove |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/trees` | Create a new tree |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/:tree/cultivate` | Upload an artifact |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/:tree/+/:ref` | Download an artifact |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/:tree/grafts` | List all tags/versions |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/:tree/graft` | Create a tag |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/grove/:grove/:tree/consumers` | List consumers of a tree |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/fruit/:id` | Get fruit metadata by hash |
### Reference Formats
When downloading artifacts, the `:ref` parameter supports multiple formats:
- `latest` - Tag name directly
- `v1.0.0` - Version tag
- `tag:stable` - Explicit tag reference
- `version:2024.1` - Version reference
- `fruit:a3f5d8e12b4c6789...` - Direct SHA256 hash reference
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose
### Running Locally
```bash
# Start all services
docker-compose up -d
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f orchard-server
# Stop services
docker-compose down
```
### Services
| Service | Port | Description |
|---------|------|-------------|
| orchard-server | 8080 | Main API server and Web UI |
| postgres | 5432 | PostgreSQL database |
| minio | 9000 | S3-compatible object storage |
| minio (console) | 9001 | MinIO web console |
| redis | 6379 | Cache (for future use) |
### Access Points
- **Web UI**: http://localhost:8080
- **API**: http://localhost:8080/api/v1
- **MinIO Console**: http://localhost:9001 (user: `minioadmin`, pass: `minioadmin`)
## Usage Examples
### Create a Grove
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/groves \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "my-project", "description": "My project artifacts", "is_public": true}'
```
### Create a Tree
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/grove/my-project/trees \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "releases", "description": "Release builds"}'
```
### Upload an Artifact (Cultivate)
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/grove/my-project/releases/cultivate \
-F "file=@./build/app-v1.0.0.tar.gz" \
-F "tag=v1.0.0"
```
Response:
```json
{
"fruit_id": "a3f5d8e12b4c67890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
"size": 1048576,
"grove": "my-project",
"tree": "releases",
"tag": "v1.0.0"
}
```
### Download an Artifact (Harvest)
```bash
# By tag
curl -O http://localhost:8080/api/v1/grove/my-project/releases/+/v1.0.0
# By fruit ID
curl -O http://localhost:8080/api/v1/grove/my-project/releases/+/fruit:a3f5d8e12b4c6789...
# Using the spec-compliant URL pattern
curl -O http://localhost:8080/grove/my-project/releases/+/latest
```
### Create a Tag (Graft)
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/grove/my-project/releases/graft \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "stable", "fruit_id": "a3f5d8e12b4c6789..."}'
```
### Search by Fruit ID
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/fruit/a3f5d8e12b4c67890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678
```
