{- Main configuration file for bffh
 - ================================
 -
 - In this configuration file you configure almost all parts of how bffh operates, but most importantly:
 -      * Machines
 -      * Initiators and Actors
 -      * Which Initiators and Actors relate to which machine(s)
 -      * Roles and the permissions granted by them
 -}

-- The config is in the configuration format/language dhall. You can find more information about dhall over at
-- https://dhall-lang.org

-- (Our) Dhall is somewhat similar to JSON and YAML in that it expects a top-level object containing the
-- configuration values
{
    -- Configure the addresses and ports bffh listens on
    listens = [
        -- BFFH binds a port for every listen object in this array.
        -- Each listen object is of the format { address = <STRING>, port = <INTEGER> }
        -- If you don't specify a port bffh will use the default of `59661`
        -- 'address' can be a IP address or a hostname
        -- If bffh can not bind a port for the specified combination if will log an error but *continue with the remaining ports*
        { address = "127.0.0.1", port = 59661 },
        { address = "::1", port = 59661 },
        { address = "192.168.0.114", port = 59661 }
    ],

    -- Configure TLS. BFFH requires a PEM-encoded certificate and the associated key as two separate files
    certfile = "examples/self-signed-cert.pem",
    keyfile = "examples/self-signed-key.pem",

    -- BFFH right now requires a running MQTT broker.
    mqtt_url = "tcp://localhost:1883",

    -- Path to the database file for bffh. bffh will in fact create two files; ${db_path} and ${db_path}.lock.
    -- BFFH will *not* create any directories so ensure that the directory exists and the user running bffh has write
    -- access into them.
    db_path = "/tmp/bffh",

    -- In dhall you can also easily import definitions from other files, e.g. you could write
    -- roles = ./roles.dhall
    roles = {
        -- Role definitions
        -- A role definition is of the form
        -- rolename = {
        --    parents = [<list of role names to inherit from>],
        --    permissions = [<list of perm rules>],
        -- }
        --
        -- Role names are case sensitive, so RoleName != rolename.
        --
        -- If you want either parents or permissions to be empty its best to completely skip it:
        testrole = {
            permissions = [ "lab.some.admin" ]
        },
        somerole = {
            parents = ["testparent"],
            -- "Permissions" are formatted as Perm Rules, so you can use the wildcards '*' and '+'
            permissions = [ "lab.test.*" ]
        },
        -- Roles can inherit from each other. In that case a member of e.g. 'somerole' that inherits from
        -- 'testparent' will have all the permissions of 'somerole' AND 'testparent' assigned to them.
        -- Right now permissions are stricly additive so you can't take a permission away in a child role that a parent
        -- role grants.
        testparent = {
            permissions = [
                "lab.some.write",

    -- Configure machines
    -- "Machines" (which in future will be more appropiately named "resources") are the main thing bffh is concerned
    -- with.
    -- You can define an almost limitless amount of machines (well 2^64 - 1, so 18_446_744_073_709_551_615 to be precise)
    -- Each of these machines can then have several "actors" and "initiators" assigned
    machines = {
        Testmachine = {
            -- A machine comes with two "names". The id above ("Testmachine") and the "name" ("MachineA").
            -- The id is what you'll use in the config format and is strictly limited to alphanumeric characters and '_'
            -- and must begin with a letter. Most importantly you CAN NOT use '-' or spaces in an identifier
            -- (dhall makes this technically possible but you can break things in subtle ways)

            -- REQUIRED. The "name" of a machine is what will be presented to humans. It can contain all unicode
            -- including spaces and nonprintable characters.
            -- A name SHOULD be short but unique.
            name = "MachineA",

            -- OPTIONAL. A description can be assigned to machines. It will also only be shown to humans. Thus it is
            -- once again limited only to unicode. If you want to provide your users with important additional
            -- information other than the name this is the place to do it.
            description = "A test machine",

            -- OPTIONAL. If you have a wiki going into more detail how to use a certain machine or what to keep in
            -- mind when using it you can provide a URL here that will be presented to users.

            -- REQUIRED.
            -- Each machine MUST have *all* Permission levels assigned to it.
            -- Permissions aren't PermRules as used in the 'roles' definitions but must be precise without wildcards.
            -- Permission levels aren't additive, so a user having 'manage' permission does not automatically get

            -- Users lacking 'disclose' will not be informed about this machine in any way and it will be hidden from
