# django-udp-discovery-client

Pure Python client for discovering [django-udp-discovery](https://github.com/Ogro-Projukti/django-udp-discovery) servers on local networks via UDP broadcast. No Django required for core usage.

## Features

- **Broadcast discovery** — Send UDP discovery requests and collect `SERVER_IP:` responses from servers on the same broadcast domain.
- **Multi-interface support** — Discover across all (or selected) IPv4 interfaces; broadcast per interface, deduplicate results by `(ip, port)`. Requires the `[network]` extra.
- **Django integration (optional)** — Management command `python manage.py discover_servers` when `discovery_client_django` is in `INSTALLED_APPS`; install with `[django]` extra.
- **Configurable** — `ClientConfig` / `load_config()` with env vars (`DISCOVERY_CLIENT_*`) and runtime overrides; interface whitelist/blacklist.
- **Cross-platform** — Windows, Linux, macOS. Optional deps: `netifaces` or `ifaddr` for interface enumeration, Django for the management command.

---

## Installation

**Base install** (core only; multi-interface discovery needs interface enumeration and will fail without the network extra):

```bash
pip install django-udp-discovery-client
```

**Recommended** — with network support for multi-interface discovery (requires `netifaces` or `ifaddr`):

```bash
pip install django-udp-discovery-client[network]
```

**With Django** (for the management command only):

```bash
pip install django-udp-discovery-client[django]
```

**All extras**:

```bash
pip install django-udp-discovery-client[all]
```

**From source**:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Ogro-Projukti/django-udp-discovery-client.git
cd django-udp-discovery-client
pip install .
pip install ".[network]"   # recommended for multi-interface
```

---

## Quick Start

### Basic Python (no Django)

```python
from discovery_client import discover, discover_one

# Discover all servers
servers = discover()
for s in servers:
    print(f"{s.ip}:{s.port}")  # DiscoveryResult

# Or just the first
server = discover_one()
if server:
    print(server.ip, server.port)
```

### Django: server setup and management command

**1. Server** (django-udp-discovery) — in `settings.py`:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'django_udp_discovery',
]
# Optional: DISCOVERY_PORT = 9999, DISCOVERY_MESSAGE = "DISCOVER_SERVER", etc.
```

**2. Client** — discover from any Python script or from Django:

```python
from discovery_client import discover
servers = discover()
for s in servers:
    url = f"http://{s.ip}:{s.port}"
```

**3. Optional Django integration** — in your Django project `settings.py`:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'discovery_client_django',
]
```

Then run:

```bash
python manage.py discover_servers
python manage.py discover_servers --timeout 10.0 --port 9999 --verbose
```

---

## Configuration

Use `ClientConfig` or `load_config()`. Priority: **defaults** &lt; **environment variables** (`DISCOVERY_CLIENT_*`) &lt; **keyword overrides**.

| Environment variable | Description | Example |
|----------------------|-------------|---------|
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_PORT` | Discovery UDP port | `9999` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_MESSAGE` | Discovery message | `DISCOVER_SERVER` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_RESPONSE_PREFIX` | Response prefix | `SERVER_IP:` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_TIMEOUT` | Timeout (seconds) | `5.0` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_RETRIES` | Retries (reserved) | `3` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_ENABLE_SUBNET_SCAN` | Subnet scan (reserved) | `true` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_INTERFACES_WHITELIST` | Comma-separated interface names | `eth0,wlan0` |
| `DISCOVERY_CLIENT_INTERFACES_BLACKLIST` | Comma-separated interface names | `docker0,lo` |

Example with overrides:

```python
from discovery_client import load_config, discover
config = load_config(timeout=10.0, discovery_port=8888)
servers = discover(config=config)
```

Interface filtering: `ClientConfig(interfaces_whitelist=["eth0"], interfaces_blacklist=["docker0"])`. Names are case-sensitive and exact.

---

## Verifying Installation

From the project root (after cloning and installing with the `[network]` extra):

```bash
pip install ".[network]"
python scripts/sanity_check.py
```

The script lists interfaces and broadcast addresses, runs discovery, and prints a table of results or a segmented-network hint if no servers are found.

---

## Logging

Logger name: `django_udp_discovery_client`. Example:

```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
# Optional: logging.getLogger('django_udp_discovery_client').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

Levels: **DEBUG** (socket/interface detail), **INFO** (discovery start/stop, servers found), **WARNING** (invalid responses, interface issues), **ERROR** (socket/network errors).

---

## Technical Considerations

- **IPv4 only** — No IPv6.
- **UDP broadcast only** — No multicast. Broadcast is limited to the local broadcast domain (often one subnet). Servers on other subnets or VLANs are not discoverable.
- **Blocking API** — `discover()` and `discover_one()` block until timeout; no async API.
- **Segmented / VLAN networks** — On large corporate subnets (e.g. 10.x, 172.16–31.x) segmented into VLANs, broadcast usually reaches only the local segment (e.g. /24). If no servers are found, the management command and `scripts/sanity_check.py` can print a one-time “Segmented Network Detected” message with workarounds:
  - Run client and servers on the same segment.
  - Use direct IP if the server address is known.
  - Involve network admin for broadcast/multicast policy.

---

## Requirements

- Python &gt;= 3.8
- **Optional**: `netifaces>=0.11.0` or `ifaddr>=0.2.0` for multi-interface discovery — install with `pip install django-udp-discovery-client[network]`.
- **Optional**: `Django>=3.2` for the management command — install with `pip install django-udp-discovery-client[django]`.

Core library does not require Django. Django is only needed on the server (django-udp-discovery) or for the optional `discover_servers` management command.
