Custom Caleuche Support

[ajunge]

Motivation: Right now the mobile app only allows to backup to uport hosted caleuche service at https://api.uport.me/caleuche. Some users want to run their own instance of caleuche, so we need a way on the mobile app to add the custom caleuche URL and start backing up there.

Work needed: We need to add a screen on the "Account Back Up" option, that allows the user to add a custom URL for their own instance of caleuche. Also need to change the functionality to use the new url ( https://github.com/uport-project/uport-mobile/blob/02db5e6f5d70073b8f982eda4946b071caa4315f/lib/sagas/hubSaga.js ). If the user is changing from any backup service, the new service needs to be updated with the latest data.

Acceptance criteria: A runnable version of the mobile app (based out of develop branch) that allows to change the backup server and migrate all the already backed up data to the new service.

Please feel free to ask any question in case something is not well explained

I'll give it a shot. Not too confident about the UI, but it might work out!

Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 2 weeks, 6 days ago.
Please review their action plans below:

1) jamesdigid has been approved to start work.

First I'll look over the existing "Account Backup Option," and get familiar with the current functionality. I'll need to review data manipulation functionality already written, along with network service operations, and any REST API's to understand the flow on how data is backed up already. After on-boarding i'll build out the functionality such that a custom url is entered and data is either both backed up and/or migrated there.

2) ramanandapanda has been approved to start work.

I would like to work on it. I have worked on react native.
what are the initial steps to setup the dev env?
Please guide.
I cannot clone git clone [email protected]:uport-project/lambda-caleuche.git getting permission denied.

Weird. Is public repo.
Trying to reproduce it

[rmw2]

It's my understanding that we do require public key auth on most of our repos -- if there is no ssh key on your github account, it won't let you push/pull/clone

@ajunge
--I had some questions about the custom url they would be inputting. Such as do you plan to support mostly AWS storage services like s3, or others such as ftp, sftp, etc. --

Just finished setting up the lambda-caleuche i was misunderstanding what the custom url was.

Thanks

[ajunge]

@jamesdigid You can work on your solution too. We don't know if the other person will finish, and if both come out with a solution then we can find a way make everyone happy.
The customUrl is always an https://...... caleuche instance. If not, is an invalid url.
In the future we expect to write more storage modules for caleuche to provide more alternatives to our users.

[jamesdigid]

@ajunge So just to clarify you want this feature built off of develop branch? I'm running into a few issues with the delete functionality and just want make sure that develop is stable enough to work off of? Because i'm getting inconsistent results. Originally the develop branch had a functional account backup with delete. Now i seem to be stuck in a delete state.

I've followed through the logic and found the saga flow handling this, it seems to be returning a 500 error with: "index.map is not a function" as the error message. I found this also exist on my local fork'ed copy but still hitting same api end point. Is there any reason we aren't branching from master for the pull request?

[jasheal]

@jamesdigid we branch from develop and make pull requests back there. Master is the release branch. I looked into your issue and it appear that doing a backup with remote debugger on corrupts the backup so it can't be deleted. Rebuild new app and try without remote debug?

where to store the url, in the device (asyncstorage)? or other way?

[ajunge]

I think is stored on the redux state. But I prefer confirmation from @rmw2

[jamesdigid]

@ajunge Commenting to back, to say restarting work on this issue.

[jamesdigid]

@jasonhealy I attempted to delete with live debug turned off, is there any other local cache that I
should know to get back to a working state?

[jasheal]

@jamesdigid Delete the app from device/simulator and rebuild. Save the url to the settings key in redux which gets persisted.

[ocio28]

i try to configure a caleuche instance following the instructions but the encrypt command do nothing (no error, no file change)

sls encrypt -n SECRETS:BUCKET -v caleuche -k 93589337-f911-4379-983d-694...

Hey @ajunge ! Have you had the chance to take a look at the submitted work yet?

[ajunge]

@jamesdigid did you see the review comment on the PR #38 ?

[jamesdigid]

@ajunge
Yes, I spent time developing this solution and made mention of a previously existing issue and was still denied my bounty... This is a waste of time if you're QA people are not willing to actually test my PR.
