Old Shitty Arista eAPI/Capi <-> gRPC proxy

Our Arista 7148S does not support gRPC/OpenConfig, so we have to make our own damn gRPC proxy.

The schema is supposed to be 1:1 mapped to the JSON-RPC EAPI. This is just a dumb proxy.

Getting and Building

go get -d -u code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/arista-proxy
go generate code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/arista-proxy/proto
go build code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/arista-proxy

Debug Status Page

The debug_address flag controls spawning an HTTP server useful for debugging. You can use it to inspect gRPC request and view general status information of the proxy.
