#### Durable benchmark orchestrator for Testflinger and Phoronix Test Suite

BenchLease reserves machines through the Testflinger HTTP API, deploys a
detached on-host agent that runs Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks (surviving
disconnects), ingests the results into a relational store, and compares them
across hardware/OS environments.

Two commands ship in this snap:

* benchlease.benchctl -- the control-plane CLI (import suites, declare
  desired runs, reserve machines, run/schedule benchmarks, compare).
* benchlease.web -- a read-only FastAPI + HTMX dashboard over the same
  database (listens on 127.0.0.1:8000 by default).

The snap is strictly confined. `benchctl` reads and writes its database,
artifact tree and SSH keystore relative to the working directory, so run it
from somewhere under your home directory (the `home` interface is connected
automatically). Testflinger credentials come from BenchLease's own YAML
config, from $TESTFLINGER\_CLIENT\_ID / $TESTFLINGER\_SECRET\_KEY, or from the
testflinger-cli *snap*'s config under ~/snap/testflinger-cli/.

See the "Snap" section of the README for the optional interfaces
(ssh-keys, dot-phoronix-test-suite, removable-media) and when to connect them.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install BenchLease

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```

### Install BenchLease
