So how does Stackbox work?

The whole project is based out of a docker-compose based core.

• master.yaml has a master list and docker services config for all stackbox supported services
• stack_box.sh is the starting point. It makes use of stack.py to generate a docker-compose.yaml from the master.yaml based on the params.
• stack_box.sh then uses the generated docker-compose.yaml to up the containers with any configurations if necessary
• All the containers thus end up communicating with each other on the same docker-network. The frontend, backend and services are bought together by this infra.

Most services are pre-configured to make sure the frontend and backend can seamlessly connect with each other.

• Exposed on 3306
• Preloaded with database and tables from init.sql

• Exposed on 9200
• Single node cluster
• Populated in the stack index with some data. Flask example - elasticsearch.py
• Can be bought up along with kibana (another stackbox supported service) to aid in querying.

• Exposed via flask-sockets. Flask example - produce and consume from stackbox kafka topic.
• Standalone python scripts consumer.py and producer.py can also be used to test the kafka setup.
• (index.html)[https://github.com/Stack-Box/StackBox/blob/master/kafka/index.html] has barebones ajax and html to connect to flask-kafka to produce and consume messages.
