Herocode Herolib Rust

A comprehensive System Abstraction Layer (SAL) and automation framework built in Rust, featuring a powerful Rhai-based scripting engine.

Quick Install

Install hero_do (the Rhai runner) with a single command:

curl -sL https://forge.ourworld.tf/lhumina_code/hero_lib/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This will:

• Detect your platform (Linux/macOS, amd64/arm64)
• Download the appropriate binary
• Install to ~/hero/bin/
• Add the path to your ~/.profile

After installation, start a new terminal or run:

export PATH="$HOME/hero/bin:$PATH"

Project Overview

Herolib provides a unified interface for system operations across different platforms. It is designed to be used both as a Rust library and as a scriptable automation tool via Rhai.

Key Packages

Package	Description
os	Core system operations: Filesystem, Git, Network, Process management, and System Profiling.
mos	Multi-OS Service layer: Network namespaces, VETH setup, Dashboard UI, and System Facts.
virt	Virtualization and Containerization: CloudHypervisor integration and Buildah/Nerdctl wrappers.
clients	Integrated API clients for Redis, Postgres, MQTT, VastAI, Hetzner, Mycelium, and more.
crypt	Cryptographic primitives, HTTP signatures, and key management (Ed25519, Symmetric).
vault	Secure key and address management for various cryptographic applications.
core	Common utilities, HeroScript DSL, Text processing, and Logger.
ai	AI integration for chat, embeddings, and transcription.

Development & CI

The project uses a multi-stage CI pipeline to ensure both Rust code and Rhai scripts are fully functional.

Build & Management

The project uses a centralized Makefile for all common tasks.

Command	Description
make build PKG=<name>	Build a specific package (e.g., make build PKG=core)
make install PKG=<name>	Build and install a package binary to ~/hero/bin/
make run PKG=<name>	Build and run a package binary (e.g., make run PKG=mos)
make docs PKG=<name>	Generate documentation for a specific package
make build-all	Build all packages in the workspace
make install-all	Install all available binaries
make docs-all	Generate documentation for all packages
make hero_do	Specialized target to build the hero_do shell
make test	Run full CI (Rust tests + Rhai scripts)
make test-rust	Run Rust unit and integration tests
make test-rhai	Run Rhai script tests
make clean	Clean all build artifacts

CI Scripts

Script	Description
ci.sh	Main CI Entry Point: Runs all Rust unit tests and triggers the Rhai CI runner.
ci_rhai.sh	Rhai Test Runner: Executes all valid Rhai scripts in the repository with exclusion management and reporting.

Test Tracking

We maintain a real-time status of all Rhai scripts in RHAI_TRACKING.md. This file tracks which scripts are CI-ready, which are intentionally skipped, and their current execution status.

Automation with Rhai

Herolib exposes most of its functionality to the Rhai scripting language. This allows you to write powerful system automation scripts without recompiling Rust code.

Example: Checking Package Installation

if !package_is_installed("git") {
 print("Installing git...");
 package_install("git");
} else {
 print("Git is already installed.");
}

Running Scripts

Use the hero_do command to run any Rhai script:

hero_do path/to/script.rhai

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (latest stable)
• Git
• Cargo login (only for maintainers publishing to crates.io)
