Grouping Containers

When starting a set container possibility to be able to group them. The benefit this would be that when executing plugins the group ID would be enough to execute plugin in a set of containers. This provides the possibility to execute repetitive tasks in containers in a single cli command. To store groups there is a file called grouptrackcontainer.json which tracks all the groups currently present set by the client. The snippet below show a sample structure of file grouptrackcontainer.json.

{
 "Groups": [
  {
   "ID": "grp<Random UUID>",
   "TrackContainer": [{client.TrackContainers struct}]
  }
 ]
}

The default path to the container tracker is client/trackcontainers/grouptrackcontainer.json.

Sample commands

• Create group

  p2prc --cgroup

• Add container to group

  p2prc --group <group id> --id <container id>

• View groups

  p2prc --groups

• View specific group

  p2prc --group <group id>

• delete container from group

  p2prc --rmcgroup --group <group id> --id <contianer id> 

• delete entire group

  p2prc --rmgroup <group id>

Note:

The group id will be auto-generated and will will have it's own prefix in the start which will mostly be grp<uuid>.
When a container is removed using the command. p2prc --rm <ip address> --id <container id>. It will be automatically deleted from the groups it exists in.
