# Quick Start: Running Foxhunt Services

**Last Updated**: 2025-10-05
**Validation Status**: ✅ 3/4 services operational

---

## TL;DR - What Works Now

```bash
# These services are ready to run (with infrastructure):
✅ target/debug/trading_service        # Port 50052 - Main trading engine
✅ target/debug/backtesting_service    # Port 50053 - Strategy testing
✅ target/debug/ml_training_service    # Port 50054 - ML model training

# This service needs compilation fix:
❌ target/debug/api_gateway            # Port 50051 - Gateway & auth
```

---

## Prerequisites

### Option 1: Full Infrastructure (Required for Production)

```bash
# PostgreSQL (required by all services)
docker run -d --name foxhunt-postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=foxhunt \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  postgres:14

# Redis (required by api_gateway)
docker run -d --name foxhunt-redis \
  -p 6379:6379 \
  redis:7-alpine

# Vault (optional - services fall back to env vars)
docker run -d --name foxhunt-vault \
  -e VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID=dev-token \
  -p 8200:8200 \
  vault:1.12
```

### Option 2: Offline Testing (No Infrastructure)

Services will start but show expected connection errors:
- ✅ Configuration validation works
- ✅ CLI commands work (ml_training_service)
- ❌ Actual service functionality requires infrastructure

---

## Running Services

### Service 1: ml_training_service (Best CLI)

**Why start here**: Most complete CLI, works offline for config validation

```bash
# Check help menu (works offline)
target/debug/ml_training_service --help

# Validate configuration (works offline)
target/debug/ml_training_service config

# Check health (expects running service)
target/debug/ml_training_service health

# Start the service (requires PostgreSQL)
target/debug/ml_training_service serve
```

**Expected Output (without infrastructure)**:
```
Validating configuration...
✅ Configuration is valid

Configuration summary:
  Server: 0.0.0.0:50054
  Database URL: postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/foxhunt
  ML Config: Using defaults
```

---

### Service 2: trading_service

**Note**: Requires PostgreSQL to start

```bash
# Start the service
target/debug/trading_service
```

**Expected Output (without PostgreSQL)**:
```
Error: Failed to create HFT-optimized database pool

Caused by:
    0: Connection failed: error returned from database: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
    1: error returned from database: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
```

**Expected Output (with PostgreSQL)**:
```
[INFO] Trading service starting on port 50052
[INFO] Connected to PostgreSQL
[INFO] Initialized order manager
[INFO] Service ready to accept connections
```

---

### Service 3: backtesting_service

**Note**: Requires PostgreSQL to start

```bash
# Start the service
target/debug/backtesting_service
```

**Expected Output (without PostgreSQL)**:
```
[INFO] Starting Foxhunt Backtesting Service
[INFO] Configuration loaded from environment variables
[INFO] Backtesting configuration loaded successfully
[INFO] Initializing storage manager with HFT optimizations
Error: Failed to initialize storage manager
```

**Expected Output (with PostgreSQL)**:
```
[INFO] Starting Foxhunt Backtesting Service
[INFO] Connected to PostgreSQL
[INFO] Backtesting engine initialized
[INFO] Service listening on port 50053
```

---

### Service 4: api_gateway (Needs Fix)

**Current Status**: ❌ Compilation errors (20 errors)

**Fix Required** (30 minutes):
```bash
# See API_GATEWAY_FIX_GUIDE.md for details
# Quick fix:
sed -i 's/SecretString::new(\([^)]*\))/SecretString::new(\1.into())/g' \
    services/api_gateway/src/auth/mfa/totp.rs

# Rebuild
cargo build -p api_gateway
```

**After Fix**:
```bash
# Start the service
target/debug/api_gateway
```

---

## Environment Variables

### Required Configuration

```bash
# PostgreSQL connection
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/foxhunt"

# Redis connection (api_gateway only)
export REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"

# Vault connection (optional)
export VAULT_ADDR="http://localhost:8200"
export VAULT_TOKEN="dev-token"

# Service ports (optional - these are defaults)
export API_GATEWAY_PORT=50051
export TRADING_SERVICE_PORT=50052
export BACKTESTING_SERVICE_PORT=50053
export ML_TRAINING_SERVICE_PORT=50054
```

### Optional Configuration

```bash

export LOG_FORMAT=json            # Options: json, pretty

# Performance
export TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS=8     # Number of async worker threads
export DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=20      # Database connection pool size

# Rate limiting (api_gateway)
export RATE_LIMIT_RPS=10000       # Requests per second limit
```

## Service Health Checks

### ml_training_service

```bash
# Using CLI
target/debug/ml_training_service health

# Using curl (when service is running)
curl http://localhost:50054/health
```

### Other Services

```bash
# gRPC health check (requires grpcurl)
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50052 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50053 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
```

---

## Testing Service Communication

### Test 1: Service Reachability

```bash
# Check if ports are open
nc -zv localhost 50051  # api_gateway
nc -zv localhost 50052  # trading_service
nc -zv localhost 50053  # backtesting_service
nc -zv localhost 50054  # ml_training_service
```

### Test 2: Database Connectivity

```bash
# Test PostgreSQL connection
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d foxhunt -c "SELECT version();"

# Test Redis connection
redis-cli ping
```

### Test 3: Service Logs

```bash
# Run services with debug logging
RUST_LOG=debug target/debug/trading_service 2>&1 | tee trading.log
RUST_LOG=debug target/debug/backtesting_service 2>&1 | tee backtesting.log
RUST_LOG=debug target/debug/ml_training_service serve 2>&1 | tee ml_training.log
```

## Common Issues & Solutions

### Issue 1: "password authentication failed for user postgres"

**Cause**: PostgreSQL not running or wrong credentials

**Solution**:
```bash
# Check if PostgreSQL is running
docker ps | grep postgres

# Restart PostgreSQL
docker restart foxhunt-postgres

# Verify connection manually
psql -h localhost -U postgres -c "SELECT 1;"
```

---

### Issue 2: "Connection refused (os error 111)"

**Cause**: Service not running or wrong port

**Solution**:
```bash
# Check what's running on the port
netstat -tlnp | grep 50052

# Verify service is running
ps aux | grep trading_service

# Check logs for startup errors
tail -f trading.log
```

---

### Issue 3: Services crash immediately

**Cause**: Usually missing dependencies or config issues

**Solution**:
```bash
# Run with full error output
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 RUST_LOG=trace target/debug/trading_service

# Check system resources
free -h        # Memory
df -h          # Disk
ulimit -n      # File descriptors (should be >1024)
```

---

### Issue 4: "api_gateway won't compile"

**Cause**: secrecy crate API changes

**Solution**:
```bash
# See API_GATEWAY_FIX_GUIDE.md for full instructions
sed -i 's/SecretString::new(\([^)]*\))/SecretString::new(\1.into())/g' \
    services/api_gateway/src/auth/mfa/totp.rs

cargo build -p api_gateway
```

---

## Docker Compose (Recommended)

Create `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
version: '3.8'

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:14
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: foxhunt
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

  vault:
    image: vault:1.12
    environment:
      VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID: dev-token
    ports:
      - "8200:8200"
    cap_add:
      - IPC_LOCK

volumes:
  postgres_data:
```

**Start all infrastructure**:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

**Stop all infrastructure**:
```bash
docker-compose down
```

---

## Development Workflow

### Step 1: Start Infrastructure

```bash
# Using Docker Compose (recommended)
docker-compose up -d

# Verify everything is running
docker-compose ps

# Check logs if needed
docker-compose logs postgres
docker-compose logs redis
```

### Step 2: Build Services

```bash
# Build all services
cargo build --workspace

# Or build individually
cargo build -p trading_service
cargo build -p backtesting_service
cargo build -p ml_training_service
cargo build -p api_gateway  # After fixing compilation
```

### Step 3: Run Database Migrations

```bash
# TODO: Add migration commands when available
# Example:
# sqlx migrate run --database-url postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/foxhunt
```

### Step 4: Start Services

```bash
# In separate terminals (or use tmux/screen)
RUST_LOG=info target/debug/ml_training_service serve
RUST_LOG=info target/debug/trading_service
RUST_LOG=info target/debug/backtesting_service
RUST_LOG=info target/debug/api_gateway  # After fix
```

### Step 5: Verify Everything Works

```bash
# Check all services are listening
netstat -tlnp | grep -E "5005[1-4]"

# Test health checks
target/debug/ml_training_service health

# Check logs for errors
grep -i error *.log
```
