Interview Task: Fix-519 docker image cleanup

[TeyimPila]

Interview Task Report https://github.com/nextcloud/app_api/issues/519

From my understanding, the app_api codebase is mainly a devOps tool used for managing other applications

I've struggled with getting the app up and running. I followed the documentation here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/exapp_development/index.html

While following the documentation, I couldn't find the script that this command executes: ./occ app:enable --force app_api Perhaps this is in the server codebase instead? if that's the case, it isn't clear in this documentation

I However, did manage to get the environment up and running at http://nextcloud.local using the docker-socket-proxy repository.

Solution

It took my quite some time to understand the codebase, but I managed to have a fair idea of it

• In the lib folder, I introduced the following method in...

• /lib/DeployActions/DockerActions.php The aim is to call docker's /images/prune API

Next, I implemented the following

• lib/BackgroundJob/DockerImageCleanupJob.php

With these in place, I am struggling to understand how they tie into the entire nextcloud ecosystem and how to actually debug the code to see it in action.

this is because with the development environment running, and after I login, I couldn't access http://nextcloud.local/index.php/settings/admin/app_api due to permission issues.

With this, exploration, I need help with some more concrete walkthrough of the codebases and how they work together and to understand how to properly introduce my changes and test them.

Good day.

I couldn't find the script that this command executes: ./occ app:enable --force app_api

It is from the server repo, here are the docs for it.
You do not need to debug or change this occ command cause it is widely used and works.

What permissions errors do you have accessing this?

We usually use this perfect repo for easy installing dev setups.

It has documentation how to enable debugging, and it is possible to debug background jobs.

Thank you for the info. I will go over it again.
