Onyxia API

This is the server part of the Onyxia datalab, it interacts with your container orchestrator (Kubernetes) to deploy users services.
Deployable services are listed and configured inside catalogs.
Default catalogs are from InseeFrlab : Interactive services, Databases, Automation but more catalogs (including your own) can be added.

Quick start

Onyxia-api is usually run as a component within the Onyxia stack. See Onyxia helm chart and docs.onyxia.sh for installation instruction.

Running Onyxia-API standalone

Using docker

docker run -p 8080:8080 inseefrlab/onyxia-api

Using Java / maven (from sources)

git clone https://github.com/InseeFrLab/onyxia-api.git
cd onyxia-api
mvn spring-boot:run

Usage

Once Onyxia is started, browse to http://localhost:8080 to get started with the OpenAPI documentation.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Make sure to conform to Android Open Source Project code style : mvn spotless:apply can enforce it.

Configuration

Main configuration file is onyxia-api/src/main/resources/application.properties.
Each variable can be overridden using environment variables.

Regions configuration :

Key	Default	Description
regions	onyxia-api/src/main/resources/regions.json	List of regions, see Region configuration

Catalogs configuration :

Key	Default	Description
catalogs	onyxia-api/src/main/resources/catalogs.json	List of helm catalogs, see Admin doc
catalogs.refresh.ms	300000 (5 minutes)	The rate at which the catalogs should be refreshed. <= 0 means no refreshs after initial loading

Authentication configuration

Key	Default	Description
authentication.mode	none	Supported modes are : none, openidconnect (must be configured)

Open id configuration (used when authentication.mode=openidconnect)

You have to specify oidc.issuer-uri. oidc.jwk-uri is optional.
Common used configurations :

Provider	oidc.issuer-uri	oidc.jwk-uri
Keycloak	https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/REALMNAME
Google	https://accounts.google.com	https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs
Microsoft	https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANTID/v2.0

Configurable properties :

Key	Default	Description
oidc.issuer-uri		Issuer URI, should be the same as the iss field of the tokens
oidc.skip-tls-verify	false	Disable tls cert verification when retrieving keys from the IDP. Not intended for production. Consider mounting the proper cacerts instead of disabling the verification.
oidc.jwk-uri		JWK URI, useful when auto discovery is not available or when iss is not consistent across tokens (e.g Google)
oidc.public-key		Public key used for validating incoming tokens. Don't provide this if you set issuer-uri or jwk-uri as it will be bootstrapped from that. This is useful if Onyxia-API has trouble connecting to your IDP (e.g self signed certificate). You can usually get this key directly by loading the issuer URI : (e.g https://auth.example.com/realms/my-realm)
oidc.clientID		Client id to be used by Onyxia web application
oidc.audience		Optional : audience to validate. Must be the same as the token's aud field
oidc.username-claim	preferred_username	Claim to be used as user id. Must conform to RFC 1123
oidc.groups-claim	groups	Claim to be used as list of user groups.
oidc.roles-claim	roles	Claim to be used as list of user roles.
oidc.extra-query-params		Optional : query params to be added by client. e.g : prompt=consent&kc_idp_hint=google

Security configuration :

Key	Default	Description
security.cors.allowed_origins		To indicate which origins are allowed by CORS

HTTP configuration

Key	Default	Description
http.proxyHost		Proxy hostname (e.g : proxy.example.com)
http.proxyPort	80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS	Proxy port
http.noProxy		Hosts that should not use the proxy (e.g : localhost,host.example.com)
http.proxyUsername		Username if the proxy requires authentication
http.proxyPassword		Password if the proxy requires authentication

Events

Key	Default	Description
event.logging.enabled	true	whether events should be logged or not
event.webhook.enabled	false	whether events should be sent to an external webhook via HTTP POST
event.webhook.url		URL of the webhook to send the events to
event.webhook.includes		List of events types to send the webhook for (empty = all events). e.g service.uninstall,service.install
event.webhook.excludes		List of events types to ignore for the webhook. e.g service.uninstall,service.install

Other configurations

Key	Default	Description
springdoc.swagger-ui.path	/	Open API (swagger) UI path
springdoc.swagger-ui.oauth.clientId	``	clientid used by swagger to authenticate the user, in general the same which is used by onyxia-ui is ok.

Onyxia API dependency to Helm

Onyxia-API makes system calls to helm using the helm-wrapper Java library.
helm is bundled in the Onyxia API Docker image, see current version bundled here : Dockerfile.
If running Onyxia API locally you need to have helm available in the PATH.

Onyxia Helm format extension

Onyxia's catalogs are based on the Helm chart format and especially the values.schema.json (see https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#schema-files) file used to populate the personalization tabs displayed by the UI.
Onyxia is fully interoperable with the Helm chart format which means you can use any helm chart repository as a onyxia catalog. But you probably want to use one that includes values.schema.json files (those files are optional in helm).
Onyxia extends this format to enhance it and provide more customization tools in the UI.

An example of such extension can be found here, see x-onyxia.
