server

server

Command runs fake push server.

Usage

Configuration is following 12-factor app methodology and is using ENV as config source.

FCM/GCM server

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export APP_SERVICE="fcm"
export APP_APPS_FILE="data/fcm-apps.json"
export APP_INSTANCES_FILE="data/fcm-inst.json"
export APP_LOG_LEVEL="all"

./server

APNS server

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export APP_SERVICE="apns"
export APP_APPS_FILE="data/apns-apps.json"
export APP_INSTANCES_FILE="data/apns-inst.json"
export APP_APNS_CERT_FILE="data/self-001-cert.pem"
export APP_APNS_KEY_FILE="data/self-001-key.pem"
export APP_LOG_LEVEL="all"

./server

certificate generation

Generation of the SSL certificates which are supporting Subject Alternative Names for local use (also IP) without disabling TLS/SSL security in client.

TODO(szpakas): add support for ASN1 commonName field (2.5.4.3) for passing APNS environment (Apple Development IOS Push Services / Apple Production IOS Push Services / Apple Push Services).

Middlewares

Both APNS and FCM handlers allow for use of middlewares. Currently following middlewares are available:

• logging
• delay
• instrumentation

Response Headers

There are extra response headers introduced which are outside of the APNS/FCM specifications.

• X-delayed-by-ms: number of milliseconds the response was delayed (set by DelayMiddleware)
• X-requests-total: number of requests served by server till its start regardless of request outcome

Instrumentation

Instrumentation is based on Prometheus.

Metrics:

• push_requests_total: -- type: CounterVec -- desc: How many push requests were processed, partitioned by provider, status code and error reason.
