Ettore Di Giacinto cf619fc91b feat(distributed): carry fan-out on PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY
Distributed mode needs an operator to run a NATS cluster. This adds the
carrier that replaces its fan-out half, so a deployment eventually needs
PostgreSQL and its own HTTP listener and nothing else.

pgbus holds one PostgreSQL session per replica, pinned for the life of
the process because LISTEN registrations belong to one backend session
and a pooled handle would lose them on the next checkout. Publishes go
out on the pool with pg_notify.

Subjects map onto a channel by their first token, from a closed set of
roots. A subject outside the set is refused at publish AND at subscribe
rather than mapped to a channel of its own: a channel name is capped at
63 bytes, and one LISTEN per job id would be unbounded. Refused rather
than dropped, because a subject that goes nowhere and reports nothing is
the class of defect this work exists to remove.

PostgreSQL refuses a notify payload of 8000 bytes or more, and several
subjects on this bus exceed that in normal operation: a job result
carries a whole LLM output, a gallery progress event carries one entry
per node. Those are written to a row and the notification carries the
id. What is measured against the cap is the ENCODED notification, not
the caller's payload, because the subject and the envelope travel too.

The filter grammar is not respelled here. Subscribe asks
messaging.ValidFilter and delivery asks messaging.SubjectMatches, which
makes this the first production caller of a matcher that had only test
doubles. New refuses a DSN that names a different database from the
pool: that pairing publishes successfully, delivers nothing, on every
replica, and reports no error anywhere.

Nothing publishes on it and nothing subscribes yet. The construction is
wired anyway, because the DSN has exactly one legitimate source and a
setting that decides whether any broadcast is delivered should not be
invented by whichever call site is migrated first.

Delivery is at-most-once, like NATS core. Nothing downstream may read a
message it did not receive as evidence about a node: a carrier that
cannot deliver is not a worker that is gone.

Requirement

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

$ hugo mod graph
hugo: collected modules in 566 ms

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

From the LocalAI repository root, run:

make docs

The Hugo configuration lives in the docs directory. To invoke Hugo directly instead, run:

cd docs
hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
