Hooks

Warnet looks for in the Service file

• Before network start, after network start
• do we need dynamic functions such as warnet service mypythonfile.py bespoke_function bespoke_paramater
• • there is a known hook for uploading (ABC)
• What do we need to "open up" on the tanks in order for services to access them
• Helm chart + a python file (is just one option)
• python file with Interface: pre-network, post-network, pre-tank, post-tank, pre-lightning, post-lightning
• warnet logs will list everything with show-logs label in yaml file (we currently use export-logs) or just look in the namespace

Next steps

• Need to investigate loading python code into warnet via hook functions; Specifically, look at plugin architecture; Is there an approach that handles third party dependencies nicely
• Need to timeblock hook functions broadcasting messages to Warnet Service processes
• Do lnd or cln doing this
• If we can do lnd or cln now, then we need to do simln as a Warnet Service (plus simln requires upload, which could be tricky)
