# Interacting with the balena Supervisor

The balena Supervisor is balena's agent that runs on devices. Its main role is to ensure your app is running, and keep communications with the balenaCloud API server.

The Supervisor itself has its own set of APIs providing means for services to communicate and execute some special actions that affect the host OS or the services itself. There are two main ways for the services to interact with the Supervisor:
- Update lockfile
- HTTP API

Only Supervisors after version `1.1.0` have this functionality, and some of the endpoints appeared in later versions (we've noted it down where this is the case). Supervisor version `1.1.0` corresponds to OS images downloaded after October 14th, 2015.

## HTTP API reference

**Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

The supervisor exposes an HTTP API on port `48484` (`BALENA_SUPERVISOR_PORT`).

To enable these Supervisor environment variables, the `io.balena.features.supervisor-api` label must be applied for each service that requires them. See [here](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/develop/multicontainer/#labels) for further details.

> Note: All endpoints (except /ping) requires an apikey parameter, which is exposed to the services as `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY`.

The full address for the API, i.e. `"http://127.0.0.1:48484"`, is available as `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

> Note: Always use `BALENA_*` variables when communicating via the API, since address and port could change.

Alternatively, the balena API (api.balena-cloud.com) has a proxy endpoint at `POST /supervisor/<url>` (where `<url>` is one of the API URLs described below) from which you can send API commands to the supervisor remotely, using your Auth Token instead of your API key. Commands sent through the proxy can specify either an `appId` to send the request to all devices in a fleet, or a `deviceId` or `uuid` to send to a particular device. These requests default to POST unless you specify a `method` parameter (e.g. "GET"). In the examples below, we show how to use a uuid to specify a device, but in any of those you can replace `uuid` for a `deviceId` or `appId`.

The API is versioned (currently at v1), except for `/ping`.

You might notice that the formats of some responses differ. This is because they were implemented later, and in Go instead of node.js - even if the Go pieces were later removed, so we kept the response format for backwards compatibility.

Here's the full list of endpoints implemented so far. In all examples, replace everything between `< >` for the corresponding values.

### GET /ping

> **Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

Responds with a simple "OK", signaling that the supervisor is alive and well.

#### Examples:
From an app container:
```bash
$ curl -X GET --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	"$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/ping"
```
Response:
```none
OK
```

Remotely via the API proxy:
```bash
$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--header "Authorization: Bearer <auth token>" \
	--data '{"uuid": "<uuid>", "method": "GET"}' \
	"https://api.balena-cloud.com/supervisor/ping"
```

<hr>

### POST /v1/blink

> **Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

Starts a blink pattern on a LED for 15 seconds, if your device has one.
Responds with an empty 200 response. It implements the "identify device" feature from the dashboard.

#### Examples:
From an app container:
```bash
$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	"$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v1/blink?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY"
```

(Empty response)

Remotely via the API proxy:
```bash
$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--header "Authorization: Bearer <auth token>" \
	--data '{"uuid": "<uuid>"}' \
	"https://api.balena-cloud.com/supervisor/v1/blink"
```

<hr>

### POST /v1/update

> **Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

Triggers a check for the target state of configurations and app services. Optionally, if a new target is available, the `force` option tells the supervisor to ignore locks and install the update. This will NOT update the supervisor service.

Responds with an empty 204 (No Content) response.

#### Request body
Can be a JSON object with a `force` property. If this property is true, the update lock will be overridden.
```json
{
	"force": true
}
```

#### Examples:
From an app container:
```bash
$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--data '{"force": true}' \

Reboots the device. This will first try to stop running services, and fail if there is an update lock.
An optional "force" parameter in the body overrides the lock when true (and the lock can also be overridden from
the dashboard).

When successful, responds with 202 accepted and a JSON object:
```json
{
	"Data": "OK",
	"Error": ""
}
```

#### Request body
Can contain a `force` property, which if set to `true` will cause the update lock to be overridden.

#### Examples:

```json
{
	"Data": "OK",
	"Error": ""
}
```

#### Request body
Can contain a `force` property, which if set to `true` will cause the update lock to be overridden.

### GET /v1/device

> **Introduced in supervisor v1.6.**

> **Note:** On devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

Returns the current device state, as reported to the balenaCloud API and with some extra fields added to allow control over pending/locked updates.
The state is a JSON object that contains some or all of the following:
* `api_port`: Port on which the supervisor is listening.
* `commit`: Hash of the current commit of the release that is running on the fleet.
* `ip_address`: Space-separated list of IP addresses of the device.
* `mac_address`: Space-separated list of MAC addresses of the device.
* `status`: Status of the device regarding the app, as a string, i.e. "Stopping", "Starting", "Downloading", "Installing", "Idle".
* `download_progress`: Amount of the release that has been downloaded, expressed as a percentage. If the update has already been downloaded, this will be `null`.
* `os_version`: Version of the host OS running on the device.
* `supervisor_version`: Version of the supervisor running on the device.
* `update_pending`: This one is not reported to the balenaCloud API. It's a boolean that will be true while the Supervisor is checking for updates (such as on boot or every poll interval) or if the supervisor has finally concluded there is an update.
* `update_downloaded`: Not reported to the balenaCloud API either. Boolean that will be true if a pending update has already been downloaded.
* `update_failed`: Not reported to the balenaCloud API. Boolean that will be true if the supervisor has tried to apply a pending update but failed (i.e. if the app was locked, there was a network failure or anything else went wrong).

Other attributes may be added in the future, and some may be missing or null if they haven't been set yet.

#### Examples:
From an app container:
```bash
$ curl -X GET --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	"$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v1/device?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY"

Used **internally** to check whether the supervisor is running correctly, according to some heuristics that help determine
whether the internal components, release updates and reporting to the balenaCloud API are functioning.

Responds with an empty 200 response if the supervisor is healthy, or a 500 status code if something is not working
correctly.

### PATCH /v1/device/host-config

> **Introduced in supervisor v6.6**

> **Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

This endpoint allows setting some configuration values for the host OS. Currently it supports proxy and hostname configuration.

For proxy configuration, balenaOS 2.0.7 and higher provides a transparent proxy redirector (redsocks) that makes all connections be routed to a SOCKS or HTTP proxy. This endpoint allows services to modify these proxy settings at runtime.


#### Request body

A JSON object with several optional fields. Proxy and hostname configuration go under a `network` key. If `proxy` or `hostname` are not present (undefined), those values will not be modified, so that a request can modify hostname without changing proxy settings and vice versa.

By default, with [balenaOS 2.82.6](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v2826) or newer, host config PATCH requests will cause a balenaEngine restart. Therefore, with Supervisor v12.11.34 and newer, the PATCH request will respect the presence of update locks. Specify the `force` boolean (`false` by default) property in the request body to ignore this.

```json
{
	"network": {
		"proxy": {
			"type": "http-connect",
			"ip": "myproxy.example.com",
			"port": 8123,
			"login": "username",
			"password": "password",
			"noProxy": [ "152.10.30.4", "253.1.1.0/16" ]
		},
		"hostname": "mynewhostname",
		"force": true
	}
}
```

In the proxy settings, `type`, `ip`, `port`, `login` and `password` are the settings for the proxy redirector to
be able to connnect to the proxy, based on how [redsocks.conf](https://github.com/darkk/redsocks/blob/master/redsocks.conf.example) works. `type` can be `socks4`, `socks5`, `http-connect` or `http-relay` (not all proxies are
guaranteed to work, especially if they block connections that the balena services may require).

Keep in mind that, even if transparent proxy redirection will take effect immediately after the API call (i.e. all new connections will go through the proxy), open connections will not be closed. So, if for example, the device has managed to connect to the balenaCloud VPN without the proxy, it will stay connected directly without trying to reconnect through the proxy, unless the connection breaks - any reconnection attempts will then go through the proxy. To force *all* connections to go through the proxy, the best way is to reboot the device (see the /v1/reboot endpoint). In most networks were no connections to the Internet can be made if not through a proxy, this should not be necessary (as there will be no open connections before configuring the proxy settings).

The `noProxy` setting for the proxy is an optional array of IP addresses/subnets that should not be routed through the
proxy. Keep in mind that local/reserved subnets are already [excluded by balenaOS automatically](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/master/meta-balena-common/recipes-connectivity/balena-proxy-config/balena-proxy-config/balena-proxy-config).

If either `proxy` or `hostname` are null or empty values (i.e. `{}` for proxy or an empty string for hostname), they will be cleared to their default values (i.e. not using a proxy, and a hostname equal to the first 7 characters of the device's uuid, respectively).

#### Examples:
From an app container:
```bash
$ curl -X PATCH --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
	--data '{"network": {"hostname": "newhostname"}}' \
	"$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v1/device/host-config?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY"

### Service Actions

#### The Fleet ID

> **Note:** on devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

For the following endpoints the fleet ID is required in the url. The fleet ID is exposed as `BALENA_APP_ID` inside your container. Otherwise, you can use the following snippet to determine the fleet ID programmatically:

```bash
APPNAME="supervisortest"
BALENA_APP_ID=$(curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" "$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v2/applications/state?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY" | jq ".$APPNAME.appId")
```

The easiest way to find your fleet from the dashboard is to look at the url when on the device list.

### POST /v2/applications/:appId/restart-service

> **Note:** This route will remove and recreate the specified service container. See [the restart action](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/manage/actions/#restart-application) for more information. On devices with supervisor version lower than 7.22.0, replace all `BALENA_` variables with `RESIN_`, e.g. `RESIN_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS` instead of `BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS`.

Added in supervisor version v7.0.0. Support for passing `serviceName` instead of
`imageId` added in v8.2.2.

Use this endpoint to restart a service in the fleet with fleet id passed in with the url.

From an app container:
```bash
curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" "$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v2/applications/$BALENA_APP_ID/restart-service?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY" -d '{"serviceName": "my-service"}'
curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" "$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v2/applications/$BALENA_APP_ID/restart-service?apikey=$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_API_KEY" -d '{"imageId": 1234}'
```

### Local mode endpoints

These endpoints are mainly for use by the CLI, for working with a local mode device.
As such they are not recommended for general use.

The device must be in local mode before these endpoints are
called, with the exception of `GET /v2/local/target-state`,
which can be called when the device is not in local mode.

### GET /v2/local/target-state

> **Introduced in supervisor v7.21**

Get the current target state. Note that if a local mode target state has not been
set then the apps section of the response will always be empty.

Request:
```bash
curl "$BALENA_SUPERVISOR_ADDRESS/v2/local/target-state"
```

Response:
```json
{
	"status": "success",
	"state": {
