XConf Admin

XConf Admin is a comprehensive configuration management server designed for RDK (Reference Design Kit) devices. It provides a centralized platform for managing device configurations, firmware updates, telemetry settings, and various administrative functions across RDK deployments.

🚀 Features

• Configuration Management: Centralized management of device configurations
• Firmware Management: Control firmware distribution and updates
• Telemetry Services: Manage telemetry profiles and data collection
• Device Control Manager (DCM): Handle device control and settings
• Feature Management: Control feature flags and rules
• Authentication & Authorization: JWT-based security with role-based access control
• RESTful API: Comprehensive REST API for all operations
• Metrics & Monitoring: Built-in Prometheus metrics support
• Canary Deployments: Support for gradual rollouts

📋 Prerequisites

• Go 1.23+: This project requires Go version 1.23 or later
• Cassandra: For data persistence (configure in config file)
• Git: For version control and building

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/rdkcentral/xconfadmin.git
cd xconfadmin

2. Install Dependencies

go mod download

3. Build the Application

make build

This will create a binary bin/xconfadmin-{OS}-{ARCH} (e.g., bin/xconfadmin-linux-amd64)

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

Set the following required environment variables:

export SAT_CLIENT_ID='your_client_id'
export SAT_CLIENT_SECRET='your_client_secret'
export SECURITY_TOKEN_KEY='your_security_token_key'

Configuration File

Create a configuration file based on the sample provided:

cp config/sample_xconfadmin.conf config/xconfadmin.conf

Edit the configuration file to match your environment settings including:

• Server port and timeouts
• Database connection details
• Logging configuration
• Authentication settings
• Service endpoints

🚀 Running the Application

1. Create Log Directory

mkdir -p /app/logs/xconfadmin

2. Start the Server

bin/xconfadmin-linux-amd64 -f config/xconfadmin.conf

3. Verify Installation

Test the server is running:

curl http://localhost:9001/api/v1/version

Expected response:

{
  "status": 200,
  "message": "OK",
  "data": {
    "code_git_commit": "abc123",
    "build_time": "2025-09-08T10:00:00Z",
    "binary_version": "v1.0.0",
    "binary_branch": "main",
    "binary_build_time": "2025-09-08_10:00:00_UTC"
  }
}
