Build artifacts should have portable canonical name for server and client #10

Closed grempe closed 6 years ago

grempe commented 6 years ago

The build artifacts:

target/release/server
target/release/client

Are very generic and most would want to rename them to something more appropriate on all but a server dedicated to only running these artifacts. If you were to install the server and client using a packaging tool such as Homebrew (e.g. brew install roughtime) you would also want a more specific name. All such installations, from source or package manager, should use these names.

Perhaps roughtime-client and roughtime-server?

Excellent point!

I renamed the binaries to roughenough-client and roughenough-server and released v1.0.6 with the change.

grempe commented 6 years ago

Excellent. I will use this immediately as I am building a very efficient (85MB with debian-slim OS and the two pre-built binaries) Docker image that will contain only the compiled binaries. Now I won't have to rename them!

FYI : Here's a link to the latest Dockerfile which builds 1.0.6 binaries into a Docker image ~85MB in size (which only has to be pulled once of course for each release).

And here's an example usage, and its output, that anyone with Docker installed can use to run the client (or server) with no need to build or install anything:

docker run -it --rm gcr.io/chainpoint-registry/github-chainpoint-chainpoint-roughtime:latest roughenough-client roughtime.int08h.com 2002 -p 016e6e0284d24c37c6e4d7d8d5b4e1d3c1949ceaa545bf875616c9dce0c9bec1
