# Aocrun

Aocrun provides a gRPC server implementation to take requests containing year, day, and optional data string. Refer to [`aocrunner.proto`](proto/aocrunner.proto) for the service, the request, and the response formats.

See [documentation](https://docs.rs/aocrun).

# Setup

Make sure [aocdata](https://gitlab.com/aoc3913919/aocdata) service is set up before proceeding further.

Replace `podman` with `docker` according to the avaialbe container utility. Aocdata server's URL must be provided as an environment variable `AOC_DATA_URL` to the container. e.g. `AOC_DATA_URL="http://localhost:31370"`
```
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/aoc3913919/aocrun
$ cd aocrun
$ podman build -t aocrun -f ./Containerfile
$ podman run -dt --name aocrun_container -p 41470:4147 -e AOC_DATA_URL=__AocdataUrl__ aocrun
```

# How it works
- After starting the server, send request as `Attributes` to the unary RPC `GetAnswer` mentioning the year and the day fields (Optionally, input data can also be provided as a field).
- The answer is sent as `Answer`.
- The input data is queried from `Aocdata` server if the input field is not provided in `Attributes`.
