Welcome to the LARS wiki!

LARS (Liberty Asset Repository Service) is a repository for assets that can be installed into a WebSphere Liberty Profile application server.

Getting started

If you don't wish to build LARS from source, follow the Installing LARS instructions to install the latest binary release from the Liberty Repository, and perform the necessary server.xml and bootstrap.properties customization steps.

Start mongodb

Now start the server

bin/server start larsServer

The server should now be running. Unless you've changed the default config, you should be able to visit http://localhost:9080/ma/v1/assets and see an empty list.

Adding assets

Unzip larsClient.zip and then run larsClient to upload an asset.

bin/larsClient upload --url=http://localhost:9080/ma/v1 --username=admin --password userFeature.esa

Enter your password when prompted. You should see a message saying that the feature has been uploaded

Listing assets

bin/larsClient listAll --url=http://localhost:9080/ma/v1

If you changed the config to require authentication for the user role, you'll need to provide your username and password as you did when adding an asset. You should see some output like this:

Listing all assets in the repository:
Asset ID                       | Asset Type      | Liberty Version | Asset Name
54da04d8735612bfdb13bf56       | Feature         |                 | com.ibm.ws.test.userFeature

Deleting assets

The list command shows the asset id. You can use this to delete the asset from the repository

bin/larsClient delete --url=http://localhost:9080/ma/v1 --username=adminUser --password 123456789103456789

For details on how to use the Liberty assetManager command to install features (or other assets) from a LARS instance, have a look at the Liberty knowledge center.
