## Abstract
When using oCIS, the requirement to store settings arises. This extension provides functionality
for other extensions to register new settings within oCIS. It is responsible for storing the respective
settings values as well.
For ease of use, this extension provides an ocis-web extension which allows users to change their settings values.
Please refer to the [ocis-web extension docs](https://owncloud.github.io/ocis/extensions/#external-phoenix-apps)
for running ocis-web extensions.

The diagram shows how the settings service integrates into oCIS:
**Settings management:**
- oCIS extensions can register *settings bundles* with the ocis-settings service.
- The settings frontend can be plugged into ocis-web, showing forms for changing *settings values* as a user.
The forms are generated from the registered *settings bundles*.
**Settings usage:**
- Extensions can query ocis-settings for *settings values* of a user.
- The ownCloud SDK, used as a data abstraction layer for ocis-web, will query ocis-settings for *settings values* of a user,
if it's available. The SDK uses sensible defaults when ocis-settings is not part of the setup.
For compatibility with ownCloud 10, a migration of ownCloud 10 settings into the storage of ocis-settings will be available.

As this project is built with Go, so you need to install that first. The installation of Go is out of the scope of this document, please follow the official documentation for [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install), to build this project you have to install Go >= v1.12. After the installation of the required tools you need to get the sources:
{{< highlight txt >}}
git clone https://github.com/owncloud/ocis-settings.git
cd ocis-settings
{{< / highlight >}}
All required tool besides Go itself and make are bundled or getting automatically installed within the `GOPATH`. All commands to build this project are part of our `Makefile`.
## Backend
{{< highlight txt >}}
make generate
make build
{{< / highlight >}}
Finally you should have the binary within the `bin/` folder now, give it a try with `./bin/ocis-settings -h` to see all available options.

A **Settings Bundle** is a collection of settings, uniquely identified by the key of the
extension registering the bundle and the key of the bundle itself. It's purpose is to let
oCIS extensions define settings and make them available to users. They are dynamically
rendered into forms, available in the frontend.
As of now we support five different types of settings:
- boolean
- integer
- string
- single choice list of integers or strings
- multiple choice list of integers or strings
Each **Setting** is uniquely identified by a key within the bundle. Some attributes
depend on the chosen type of setting. Through the information provided with the
attributes of the setting, the settings frontend dynamically renders form elements,
allowing users to change their settings individually.
## Example
```json
{
"identifier": {
"extension": "ocis-accounts",
"bundleKey": "profile"
},
"displayName": "Profile",
"settings": [
{
"settingKey": "lastname",
"displayName": "Lastname",
"description": "Input for lastname",
"stringValue": {
"placeholder": "Set lastname"
}
},
{
"settingKey": "age",
"displayName": "Age",
"description": "Input for age",
"intValue": {
"min": "16",
"max": "200",
"step": "2",
"placeholder": "Set age"
}
},
{
"settingKey": "timezone",
"displayName": "Timezone",
"description": "User timezone",
"singleChoiceValue": {
"options": [
{
"stringValue": "Europe/Berlin",
"displayValue": "Europe/Berlin"
},
{
"stringValue": "Asia/Kathmandu",
"displayValue": "Asia/Kathmandu"

## Installation
So far we are offering two different variants for the installation. You can choose between [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) or pre-built binaries which are stored on our download mirrors and GitHub releases. Maybe we will also provide system packages for the major distributions later if we see the need for it.
### Docker
TBD
### Binaries
TBD
## Configuration
We provide overall three different variants of configuration. The variant based on environment variables and commandline flags are split up into global values and command-specific values.
### Envrionment variables
If you prefer to configure the service with environment variables you can see the available variables below.
#### Global
SETTINGS_CONFIG_FILE
: Path to config file, empty default value
SETTINGS_LOG_LEVEL
: Set logging level, defaults to `info`
SETTINGS_LOG_COLOR
: Enable colored logging, defaults to `true`

### Configuration file
So far we support the file formats `JSON` and `YAML`, if you want to get a full example configuration just take a look at [our repository](https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/settings/tree/master/config), there you can always see the latest configuration format. These example configurations include all available options and the default values. The configuration file will be automatically loaded if it's placed at `/etc/ocis/settings.yml`, `${HOME}/.ocis/settings.yml` or `$(pwd)/config/settings.yml`.
## Usage
The program provides a few sub-commands on execution. The available configuration methods have already been mentioned above. Generally you can always see a formated help output if you execute the binary via `ocis-settings --help`.
### Server
The server command is used to start the http and debug server on two addresses within a single process. The http server is serving the general webservice while the debug server is used for health check, readiness check and to server the metrics mentioned below. For further help please execute:
{{< highlight txt >}}
ocis-settings server --help
{{< / highlight >}}
### Health
The health command is used to execute a health check, if the exit code equals zero the service should be up and running, if the exist code is greater than zero the service is not in a healthy state. Generally this command is used within our Docker containers, it could also be used within Kubernetes.
{{< highlight txt >}}
ocis-settings health --help
{{< / highlight >}}
## Metrics
This service provides some [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) metrics through the debug endpoint, you can optionally secure the metrics endpoint by some random token, which got to be configured through one of the flag `--debug-token` or the environment variable `SETTINGS_DEBUG_TOKEN` mentioned above. By default the metrics endpoint is bound to `http://0.0.0.0:9194/metrics`.

A **Settings Value** is the value an authenticated user has chosen for a specific setting, defined in a
*settings bundle*. For choosing settings values as a user the sole entry point is the ocis-web extension
provided by this service.
## Identifying settings values
A *settings value* is uniquely identified by four attributes. Three of them are coming from the definition of
the setting within it's settings bundle (see [Settings Bundles](https://owncloud.github.io/extensions/ocis_settings/bundles/)
for an example). The fourth identifies the user.
- extension: Key of the extension that registered the settings bundle,
- bundleKey: Key of the settings bundle,
- settingKey: Key of the setting as defined within the bundle,
- accountUuid: The UUID of the authenticated user who has saved the setting.
{{< hint info >}}
When requests are going through `ocis-proxy`, the accountUuid attribute can be set to the static keyword `me`
instead of using a real UUID. `ocis-proxy` will take care of minting the UUID of the authenticated user into
a JWT, providing it in the HTTP header as `x-access-token`. That UUID is then used in this service, to replace
`me` with the actual UUID of the authenticated user.
{{< /hint >}}
## Example of stored settings values
```json
{
"values": {
"language": {
"identifier": {
"extension": "ocis-accounts",
"bundleKey": "profile",
"settingKey": "language",
"accountUuid": "5681371f-4a6e-43bc-8bb5-9c9237fa9c58"
},
"listValue": {
"values": [
{
"stringValue": "de"
}
]
}
},
"timezone": {
"identifier": {
"extension": "ocis-accounts",
"bundleKey": "profile",
"settingKey": "timezone",
"accountUuid": "5681371f-4a6e-43bc-8bb5-9c9237fa9c58"
},
"listValue": {
"values": [
{
"stringValue": "Europe/Berlin"
}
]
}
}
}
}
```
## gRPC endpoints
The obvious way of modifying settings is the ocis-web extension, as described earlier. However, services can
use the respective gRPC endpoints of the `ValueService` to query and modify *settings values* as well.
The gRPC endpoints require the same identifier attributes as described above, so for making a request to
the `ValueService` you will have to make sure that the accountUuid of the authenticated user is available in
your service at the time of the request.
