# Release versioning
|
|
|
|
Releases are numbered with an integer ID, starting with 1.
|
|
Each release embeds the following assets in the binary:
|
|
* Web front-end with Javascript files and all static assets.
|
|
* Golang template files for server-side rendering.
|
|
* JSON schema files for validation.
|
|
* Database migration files
|
|
|
|
The remaining external assets are:
|
|
* The SQL database used
|
|
* The job archive
|
|
* The configuration file `config.json`
|
|
|
|
Both external assets are also versioned with integer IDs.
|
|
This means that each release binary is bound to specific versions of the SQL
|
|
database and the job archive.
|
|
The configuration file is validated against the current schema on startup.
|
|
The command line switch `-migrate-db` can be used to upgrade the SQL database
|
|
to migrate from a previous version to the latest one.
|
|
We offer a separate tool `archive-migration` to migrate an existing job archive
|
|
archive from the previous to the latest version.

# Versioning of APIs
|
|
|
|
cc-backend provides two API backends:
|
|
* A REST API for querying jobs
|
|
* A GraphQL API for data exchange between web frontend and cc-backend
|
|
|
|
Both APIs will also be versioned. We still need to decide wether we will also support
|
|
older REST API version by versioning the endpoint URLs.
|
|
|
|
# How to build
|
|
|
|
Please always build `cc-backend` with the supplied Makefile. This will ensure
|
|
that the frontend is also built correctly and that the version in the binary file is coded
|
|
in the binary.
