## Installation
## 1. Installation
A typical installation is as follows:
> configure # Configure clixon to platform
> make # Compile
> sudo make install # Install libs, binaries, and config-files
> sudo make install-include # Install include files (for compiling)
```
configure # Configure clixon to platform
make # Compile
sudo make install # Install libs, binaries, and config-files
sudo make install-include # Install include files (for compiling)
```
One example applications is provided, a IETF IP YANG datamodel with generated CLI and configuration interface.

## 6. Clixon Datastore
The Clixon datastore is a stand-alone XML based datastore used by
Clixon. The idea is to be able to use different datastores. There is
currently a key-value plugin based on qdbm and a plain text-file
datastore.
The datastore is primarily designed to be used by Clixon but can be used
separately.
A datastore is a dynamic plugin that is loaded at runtime with a
well-defined API. This means it is possible to create your own
datastore and plug it in a Clixon backend at runtime.
### The functional API
```
int xmldb_plugin_load(clicon_handle h, char *filename);
int xmldb_plugin_unload(clicon_handle h);
int xmldb_connect(clicon_handle h);
int xmldb_disconnect(clicon_handle h);
int xmldb_getopt(clicon_handle h, char *optname, void **value);
int xmldb_setopt(clicon_handle h, char *optname, void *value);
int xmldb_get(clicon_handle h, char *db, char *xpath,
cxobj **xtop, cxobj ***xvec, size_t *xlen);
int xmldb_put(clicon_handle h, char *db, enum operation_type op,
char *api_path, cxobj *xt);
int xmldb_copy(clicon_handle h, char *from, char *to);
int xmldb_lock(clicon_handle h, char *db, int pid);
int xmldb_unlock(clicon_handle h, char *db);
int xmldb_unlock_all(clicon_handle h, int pid);
int xmldb_islocked(clicon_handle h, char *db);
int xmldb_exists(clicon_handle h, char *db);
int xmldb_delete(clicon_handle h, char *db);
int xmldb_create(clicon_handle h, char *db);
```
### Using the API
To use the API, a client needs the following:
- A clicon handle.
- A datastore plugin, such as a text.so or keyvalue.so. These are normally built and installed at Clixon make.
- A directory where to store databases
- A yang specification. This needs to be parsed using the Clixon yang_parse() method.
A client calling the API needs to (1)load a plugin and (2)connect to a
datastore. You can connect to several datastores, even concurrently,
but in practice in Clixon, you connect to a single store.
After connecting to a datastore, you can create and modify databases
within the datastore, and set and get options of the datastore itself.
When done, you disconnect from the datastore and unload the plugin.
Within a datastore, the following four databases may exist:
- running
- candidate
- startup
- tmp
Initially, a database does not exist but is created by
xmldb_create(). It is deleted by xmldb_delete(). You may check for
existence with xmldb_exists(). You need to create a database before
you can perform any data access on it.
You may lock a database for exclusive modification according to
Netconf semantics. You may also unlock a single dabase, unlock all frm
a specific session.
You can read a database with xmldb_get() and modify a database with
xmldb_put(), and xmldb_copy().
A typical datastore session can be as follows, see the source code of
datastore_client.c for a more elaborate example.
```
h = clicon_handle_init();
xmldb_plugin_load(h, plugin);
xmldb_connect(h);
xmldb_setopt(h, "dbdir", dbdir);
xmldb_setopt(h, "yangspec", yspec);
/* From here databases in the datastore may be accessed */
xmldb_create(h, "candidate");
xmldb_copy(h, "running", "candidate");
xmldb_lock(h, "candidate", 7878);
xmldb_put(h, "candidate", OP_CREATE, "/interfaces/interface=eth0", xml);
xmldb_unlock(h, "candidate");
xmldb_get(h, "candidate", "/", &xml, &xvec, &xlen);
xmldb_disconnect(h)
xmdlb_plugin_unload(h);
```
## 7. YANG
Clixon implements YANG RFC 6020. Clixon generates an interactive CLI
for YANG specifications. It also provides Restconf and Netconf clients.
Clixon YANG currently does not provide the following support:
- type object-references
- if-feature
- unique
- rpc
## 8. Netconf
Clixon Netconf implements the following NETCONF standards:
- RFC 4741 (NETCONF Configuration Protocol)
- RFC 4742 (Using the NETCONF Configuration Protocol over Secure SHell (SSH))
- RFC 5277 (NETCONF Event Notifications)
It needs to be updated to RFC6241 and RFC 6242.
Clixon NETCONF currently does not support the following Netconf features:
- :url capability
- copy-config source config
- edit-config testopts
- edit-config erropts
- edit-config config-text
## 9. Restconf
### Features
Clixon restconf is a daemon based on FASTCGI. Instructions are available to
run with NGINX.
The implementatation supports plain OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE.
and is based on draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-13.
There is currently (2017) a RFC 8040, many of those features are _not_ implemented,
including:
- query parameters (section 4.9)
- notifications (sec 6)
- only rudimentary error reporting exists (sec 7)
### Installation using Nginx
Define nginx config file/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
```
server {
...
location /restconf {
root /usr/share/nginx/html/restconf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/www-data/fastcgi_restconf.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
```
Start nginx daemon
```
sudo /etc/init.d nginx start
```
Start clixon restconf daemon
```
olof@vandal> sudo su -c "/www-data/clixon_restconf -f /usr/local/etc/routing.conf " -s /bin/sh www-data
```
Make restconf calls with curl
```
olof@vandal> curl -G http://127.0.0.1/restconf/data/interfaces
[
{
"interfaces": {
"interface":[
{
"name": "eth0",
"type": "eth",
"enabled": "true",
"name": "eth9",
"type": "eth",
"enabled": "true"
}
]
}
}
]
olof@vandal> curl -G http://127.0.0.1/restconf/data/interfaces/interface/name=eth9/type
[
{
"type": "eth"
}
]
curl -sX POST -d '{"clicon":{"interfaces":{"interface":{"name":"eth1","type":"eth","enabled":"true"}}}}' http://localhost/restconf/data
```
### Debugging
Start the restconf fastcgi program with debug flag:
```
sudo su -c "/www-data/clixon_restconf -Df /usr/local/etc/routing.conf" -s /bin/sh www-
data
```
Look at syslog:
```
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep clixon_restconf
```
Send command:
```
curl -G http://127.0.0.1/restconf/data/*
```
