Welcome to our guide on using Hoarder, a simple and efficient storage system designed for cloud-based deployment services. Whether you want to run it as a server or use it via command line, this article will walk you through everything step by step.

Getting Started with Hoarder

Hoarder is quite versatile in how it can be deployed. You can choose to run it as a standalone server or utilize its command-line interface (CLI).

Running Hoarder as a Server

To start Hoarder as a server, execute the following command:

hoarder --server

You can also provide a custom configuration file during startup:

hoarder --server --config pathtoconfig

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

For quick operations, use the CLI. Start by entering:

hoarder COMMAND

If you need help, simply run:

hoarder -h

This will display usage and a list of commands you can use such as:

• add: Add a file to Hoarder storage
• list: List all files in Hoarder storage
• remove: Remove a file from Hoarder storage
• show: Display a file from the Hoarder storage
• update: Update a file in Hoarder

Configuration of Hoarder

To customize Hoarder, you can provide a config.yml file using the –config option. The configurations in this file will take precedence over command-line flags. If neither is provided, Hoarder will use sensible defaults.

Here’s a sample configuration file:

yml
backend     : file:vardbhoarder
listen-addr : https:127.0.0.1:7410
log-level   : INFO
server      : false
token       : 

Understanding the API

The API is set up for various operations on stored data. Think of it like a library where books (data) are stored and can be accessed in different ways:

• GET blobs:id: Retrieve a specific blob of data.
• POST blobs:id: Publish a new blob.
• DELETE blobs:id: Remove a blob from storage.

Example Commands

Here are some example commands you might find useful:

• To check if the server is responsive: curl -k https:localhost:7410ping
• To create a new blob: curl -k https:localhost:7410blobstest -d data= test created!
• To list all blobs: curl -k https:localhost:7410blobs

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using Hoarder, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure the server is running. You can do this by checking logs or using curl commands.
• Check that your configuration file is correctly formatted and paths are valid.
• Verify that you are not missing any authentication tokens if the server requires it.
