|
=================
|
|
|
|
nv-driver-locator is a tool for internal usage, which purpose is to notify about new Nvidia driver releases. It's kernel supports and performs:
|
|
|
|
* Update retrieval from multiple sources (**channels** component).
|
|
* Notification through various ways (**notifiers** component).
|
|
* Driver info matching and aggregation via configurable set of attributes (**hasher** component).
|
|
* Persistence of collected data for keeping track on already seen drivers (**db** component).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.4+
|
|
* `beautifulsoup4` package - required only when NvidiaDownloadsChannel is used. On recent Debian/Ubuntu you may install it like this: `apt-get install python3-bs4`. For other cases see [this](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#installing-beautiful-soup).
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
### Structure
|
|
|
|
All scripts may be used both as standalone application and importable module. For CLI synopsys invoke program with `--help` option.
|
|
|
|
* nv-driver-locator.py - main executable, intended to be run as cron job.
|
|
* mailer.py - module with email routines and minimalistic email client for test purposes.
|
|
* gfe\_get\_driver.py - GeForce Experience client library (and test util).
|
|
* get\_nvidia\_downloads.py - Nvidia downloads site parser (and test util).
|
|
* get\_vulkan\_downloads.py - Nvidia Developer downloads site parser (and test util). Used for Vulkan Beta Drivers.
|
|
|
|
### Operation
|
|
|
|
1. Cron job queries all configured channels.
|
|
2. Program aggregates responses by hashing their's values covered by `key_components`. `key_components` is a list of JSON paths (represented by list too) specified in config file.
|
|
3. Program queries DB if given hash has any match in database.
|
|
4. If no match found and we have new instance, then all notifiers are getting fired.
|
|
5. New record gets written into DB.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration example
|
|
|
|
See [nv-driver-locator.json.sample](nv-driver-locator.json.sample).
