Unprototype Almanac
Summary: Fixes T10449. Almanac doesn't do a whole lot for the average user, but is in good shape technically and works well, and exposing it in the cluster won't let installs destroy themselves now. Test Plan: Re-read documentation; grepped for `TODO` (there are a couple, but reasonable to push off); browsed around all the UI things (new two-column looks great), called API methods.

IMPORTANT: Almanac is a prototype application. See

Almanac is a device and service inventory application. It allows you to create
|
||||
lists of //devices// and //services// that humans and other applications can
|
||||
use to keep track of what is running where.
|
||||
|
||||
Almanac is an infrastructure application that will normally be used by
|
||||
administrators to configure advanced Phabricator features. In most cases,
|
||||
normal users will very rarely interact with Almanac directly.
|
||||
|
||||
At a very high level, Almanac can be thought of as a bit like a DNS server.
|
||||
Callers ask it for information about services, and it responds with details
|
||||
about which devices host those services. However, it can respond to a broader
|
||||
range of queries and provide more detailed responses than DNS alone can.
|
||||
|
||||
Today, the primary use cases for Almanac involve configuring Phabricator
|
||||
itself: Almanac is used to configure Phabricator to operate in a cluster setup,
|
||||
and to expose hardware to Drydock so it can run build and integration tasks.
|
||||
Today, the primary use cases for Almanac are internal to Phabricator:
|
||||
|
||||
- Providing a list of build servers to Drydock so it can run build and
|
||||
integration tasks.
|
||||
- Configuring Phabricator to operate in a cluster setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond internal uses, Almanac is a general-purpose service and device inventory
|
||||
application and can be used to configure and manage other types of service and
