# TORch Subscriber Docker Compose
This is a [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) project for assembling a service to receive TORch notifications from remote clients and store them for access via RESTful interface.
This is a [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) project for assembling a service to receive [TORch](https://git.rudefox.io/bj/torch-agent) notifications from remote nodes and store them for access via RESTful interface.
It is composed of the following micro-services:
* Tor proxy - for receving notifications from remote TORch clients via Tor
* Broker - for managing publications and subscriptions
* Torchsub - for receiving notifications, maintaining a database of the latest connection info for each remote note and serving them via HTTP
## Running
## Dependencies
* Docker
* Docker Compose
## Quick Start
1. Create an `.env` file based on [`.env.example`](.env.example)
* CONFIG_DIR: points to the local configuration directory for the broker and torchsub micro-services
* **CONFIG_DIR**: points to the local configuration directory for the broker and torchsub micro-services (you will create this in the next step)
* BROKER_MQTT_PORT: must match the port that you configured mosquitto to listen for MQTT on
* **BROKER_MQTT_PORT**: (suggested: 1883) must match the port that you configured mosquitto to listen for MQTT on
* BROKER_MQTTS_PORT: must match the port that you configured mosquitto to listen for MQTTS on
* **BROKER_MQTTS_PORT**: must match the port that you configured mosquitto to listen for MQTTS on
* HTTP_PORT: the port that you would like Torchsub to listen on for incoming HTTP-REST requests for client connection info
* **HTTP_PORT**: the port that you would like Torchsub to listen on for incoming HTTP-REST requests for client connection info

Configure any remote [TORch agent](https://git.rudefox.io/bj/torch-agent) instances with the above onion hostname by editing their `torch.conf` files (the idea is really to provision new nodes with this instances of TORch Agent configured with this onion hostname, so that when they boot they will phone home with Tor connection info)

6. Check the latest client connection info using the RESTful interface on the port you specified in the `.env` file above:
```bash
$ curl http://localhost:7700/clients
{"vagrant": {"clientId": "vagrant", "timestamp": "23-Oct-2020 (09:35:12.282901)", "onionAddress": "xbkcb3a47s6swrohdzcsuq6iwix3qjsn6mf77dkxywxgxucynhotglyd.onion", "sshPort": 22}}
```
7. You should be able to connect to this remote node using SSH through your local Tor proxy
```bash
ubuntu@broker:~$ torify ssh vagrant@xbkcb3a47s6swrohdzcsuq6iwix3qjsn6mf77dkxywxgxucynhotglyd.onion
