Currently ape is a simple bash script. Using ssh authorization, git,
and cocaine-tool, it solves task of per-user app management in cocaine
cloud. It provides user means to build application's docker image,
start/stop applications, and otherwise manage applications.
Firstly, ape operates as a git remote, and builds application image
when new changes are pushed to the remote.
Secondly, ape provides set of commands.
start <app-name> <treeish> starts app version and adds it to app
routing group
stop <app-name> <treeish> stops app version and removes it from app
routing group
status reports status of all user's apps: shows routing, running
apps and app versions, shows uploaded apps
remove <app-name> <treeish> stops app version, removes it from
routing group, removes app and app image from cloud
adduser <username> adds a line with user's ssh key to
authorized_keys file
ape uses ssh authorization via authorized_keys file and it's command
capability, which is described in authorized_keys manual.
Every line of authorized_keys file contains key, command to
run (ape script) and environment variables like user login and key
fingerprint.
When user logins with ssh as ape user and proper ssh key, ape script is invoked with user login as environment variable and all command-line parameters of ssh command.
