Comrade is a job scheduler&manager service.

• Exclusive jobs
• Dependent jobs
• Sub jobs execution
• Cron triggers
• Simple triggers
• Worker execution grace period (i.e. timeout)
• Queue and HTTP runners
• Hybrid API. Supports HTTP and MQ API
• JSON Schemas for everything
• Real-time, WEB based UI
• Write worker in any language
• Standalone service
• Containerized, easy to deploy
• Work with any Queue Interop compatible queue
• A client for PHP.

The Comrade UI is available at http://demo.comrade.forma-pro.com and the service itself is at http://demo.comrade.forma-pro.com:81.

The best way to run Comrade in production is to use pre-build Docker containers.

1. Create an empty directory

2. Inside, create an .env file with content:

   APP_ENV=prod
   APP_DEBUG=0
   APP_SECRET=45402ed3d65de420f63e1546c322968c
   ENQUEUE_DSN=amqp+bunny://comrade:comrade123@rabbitmq:5672/comrade?receive_method=basic_consume&lazy=1&qos_prefetch_count=3&persisted=1&connection_timeout&connection_timeout=20
   MONGO_DSN=mongodb://mongo:27017/comrade
   WAMP_DSN=ws://jms:9090
   WAMP_REALM=realm1
   WAMP_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
   WAMP_SERVER_PORT=9090
   

3. Create docker-compose.yml file with next content:

   version: '3'
   
   services:
     jm:
       image: 'formapro/comrade:latest'
       ports:
         - "81:80"
       depends_on:
         - 'rabbitmq'
         - 'mongo'
       env_file: '/.env'
   
     jmc:
       image: 'formapro/comrade:latest'
       entrypoint: 'php bin/console enqueue:consume --setup-broker --receive-timeout=10000 --memory-limit=100 -vvv'
       depends_on:
         - 'rabbitmq'
         - 'mongo'
       env_file: '/.env'
   
     jmq:
       image: 'formapro/comrade:latest'
       entrypoint: 'php bin/console quartz:scheduler -vvv'
       depends_on:
         - 'rabbitmq'
         - 'mongo'
       env_file: '/.env'
       deploy:
         mode: 'global'
         
     jmw:
       image: 'formapro/comrade:latest'
       entrypoint: 'php bin/wamp_server.php'
       depends_on:
         - 'rabbitmq'
         - 'mongo'
       env_file: '/.env'
       ports:
         - '9090:9090'
   
     ui:
       image: 'formapro/comrade-ui:latest'
       ports:
         - "80:80"
   
     rabbitmq:
       image: 'rabbitmq:latest'
       environment:
         - 'RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=comrade'
         - 'RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=comrade123'
         - 'RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST=comrade'
   
     mongo: { image: 'mongo:3' }

4. Run docker-compose up. Now you have the comrade server available at localhost:81, UI at localhost:80, websocket server at localhost:9090.

If you'd like to build and run Comrade from source code, do next:

$ git clone git@github.com:php-comrade/comrade-dev.git;
$ (cd comrade-dev/apps/jm; composer install);
$ (cd comrade-dev/apps/demo; composer install);
$ (cd comrade-dev/apps/ui; npm install);
$ echo '127.0.0.1 jm.loc' >> /etc/hosts
$ echo '127.0.0.1 ui.jm.loc' >> /etc/hosts
$ bin/dup

The Comrade service will be available at jm.loc host and its UI at ui.jm.loc.

The Comrade exposes for various things like create job, add trigger, query jobs operations. They are available through HTTP as well as message queue. Same format. It is possible to create job from any programming language as well as run it later. For PHP we provide a simple client

composer require comrade/client:*@dev 

With the client you can create a job by doing:

<?php
use Comrade\Shared\Model\JobTemplate;
use Comrade\Shared\Model\QueueRunner;
use Comrade\Shared\Model\GracePeriodPolicy;
use Comrade\Shared\Message\CreateJob;
use Comrade\Shared\Model\CronTrigger;
use Enqueue\Util\UUID;
use Enqueue\Util\JSON;
use function Enqueue\dsn_to_context;
use function Makasim\Values\register_cast_hooks;
use function Makasim\Values\register_object_hooks;
use Interop\Queue\PsrContext;

require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

register_cast_hooks();
register_object_hooks();

/** @var PsrContext $queueContext */
$context = dsn_to_context(getenv('ENQUEUE_DSN'));

$template = JobTemplate::create();
$template->setName('demo_success_job');
$template->setTemplateId(Uuid::generate());
$template->setRunner(QueueRunner::createFor('demo_success_job'));

$policy = GracePeriodPolicy::create();
$policy->setPeriod(20);
$template->setGracePeriodPolicy($policy);

$trigger = CronTrigger::create();
$trigger->setTemplateId($template->getTemplateId());
$trigger->setStartAt(new \DateTime('now'));
$trigger->setMisfireInstruction(CronTrigger::MISFIRE_INSTRUCTION_FIRE_ONCE_NOW);
$trigger->setExpression('*/5 * * * *');

$createJob = CreateJob::createFor($template);
$createJob->addTrigger($trigger);

$queue = $context->createQueue('comrade_create_job');
$message = $context->createMessage(JSON::encode($createJob));
$context->createProducer()->send($queue, $message);

Job has QueueRunner. It means that when it is time to run the job it is sent to demo_success_job queue. Job has GracePeriodPolicy. It means that if the job is not finished within 20 seconds it is marked as failed. Job has CronTrigger. It means the job should be run every five minutes.

There is possibility to set other polices, triggers or another runner. The job worker could look like this:

<?php

use Comrade\Shared\Message\RunJob;
use Comrade\Shared\Model\JobAction;
use Comrade\Client\ClientQueueRunner;
use Interop\Queue\PsrContext;
use Interop\Queue\PsrMessage;
use function Enqueue\dsn_to_context;
use Enqueue\Consumption\QueueConsumer;
use Enqueue\Consumption\Result;
use function Makasim\Values\register_cast_hooks;
use function Makasim\Values\register_object_hooks;

register_cast_hooks();
register_object_hooks();

/** @var PsrContext $c */
$c = dsn_to_context(getenv('ENQUEUE_DSN'));

$runner = new ClientQueueRunner($c);

$queueConsumer = new QueueConsumer($c);

$queueConsumer->bind('demo_success_job', function(PsrMessage $message) use ($runner) {
    $runner->run($message, function(RunJob $runJob) {
        // do your stuff here. 

        return JobAction::COMPLETE;
    });

    return Result::ACK;
});

$queueConsumer->consume();
