Entropy is an immutable object store, with an HTTP API, that replicates in real-time to the configured backends.
Begin by following the recommended git workflow to create and checkout a fork of Entropy. Development is intended to take place in a Linux or macOS environment and requires Python 2.7 (not Python 3).
$ cd path/to/entropy/checkout
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
# It's recommended to install with `-e` to avoid having to constantly
# reinstall Entropy when changing branches or making changes.
$ pip install -e .After successfully installing the software and its dependencies, an instance of it will need to be configured for development:
# Create an alias to avoid having to continually pass the database argument.
$ alias axiomatic='axiomatic -d entropy.axiom'
# Create a directory for deployment artefacts.
$ mkdir -p ~/deployment/entropy
$ cd ~/deployment/entropy
# Install the offering.
$ axiomatic offering install Entropy
# Configure the port to listen on.
$ axiomatic port create --strport=tcp:8000 --factory-identifier=1
# Start the instance.
$ axiomatic start -n
