## csaf_aggregator
### Usage
```
csaf_aggregator [OPTIONS]
Application Options:
-c, --config=CFG-FILE File name of the configuration file (default:
aggregator.toml)
--version Display version of the binary
-i, --interim Perform an interim scan
Help Options:
-h, --help Show this help message
```
Usage example for a single run, to test if the config is good:
```bash
./csaf_aggregator -c docs/examples/aggregator.toml
```
Once the config is good, you can run the aggregator periodically
in two modes. For instance using `cron` on Ubuntu and after placing
the config file in `/etc/csaf_aggregator.toml`:
```bash
mkdir /var/log/csaf_aggregator
mkdir ~www-data/bin
cp bin-linux-amd64/csaf_aggregator ~www-data/bin/
chown www-data.www-data -R ~www-data/bin /var/log/csaf_aggregator
# list current crontab
crontab -u www-data -l
# edit crontab (add lines like example below)
crontab -u www-data -e
```
Crontab example, running the full mode one a day and updating
interim advisories every 60 minutes:
```crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
# run full mode in the night at 04:00
0 4 * * * $HOME/bin/csaf_aggregator --config /etc/csaf_aggregator.toml >> /var/log/csaf_aggregator/full.log 2>&1
# run in interim mode once per hour at 30 minutes, e.g. 00:30, 01:30, ...
30 0-23 * * * $HOME/bin/csaf_aggregator --config /etc/csaf_aggregator.toml --interim >> /var/log/csaf_aggregator/interim.log 2>&1
```
### config options
The following options can be used in the config file in TOML format:
```
workers // number of parallel workers to start (default 10)
folder // target folder on disc for writing the downloaded documents
web // directory to be served by the webserver
domain // base url where the contents will be reachable from outside
rate // overall downloading limit per worker
insecure // do not check validity of TLS certificates
aggregator // table with basic infos for the aggregator object
providers // array of tables, each entry to be mirrored or listed
key // OpenPGP key
openpgp_url // URL where the OpenPGP public key part can be found
passphrase // passphrase of the OpenPGP key
lock_file // path to lockfile, to stop other instances if one is not done
interim_years // limiting the years for which interim documents are searched
allow_single_provider // debugging option
```
Rates are specified as floats in HTTPS operations per second.
0 means no limit.
`providers` is an array of tables, each allowing
```
name
domain
rate
insecure
```
