I've just installed it in my laptop, but I don't understand how all of
this is going to work.
**Senior**
Don't worry it is pretty easy. Basically we will provide an HTTP
endpoint managed by Kapow! at the **Corporate Server**; when the
project team wants to perform a backup they only need to call the
endpoint and Kapow! will call the backup script.
**Junior**
It seems pretty easy. How can I create the endpoint?
**Senior**
First you have to start a fresh server. Please run this in your laptop:
.. code-block:: console
$ kapow server
.. warning::
It is important that you run this command in the same directory
in which you downloaded ``backup_db.sh``.
**Junior**
Done! But it doesn't do anything.
**Senior**
Now you have the port 8080 open but don't have any endpoints defined.
To define our endpoint you have to run this in another terminal:
.. code-block:: console
$ kapow route add -X PUT /db/backup -e ./backup_db.sh
This will create an endpoint accessible via
``http://localhost:8080/db/backup``. This endpoint have to be invoked
with the ``PUT`` method to prevent accidental calls.
**Junior**
Cool! Do we need to do all this stuff every time we start the
**Corporate Server**?
**Senior**
Not at all. The have thought of everything. You can put all your route
definitions in a special script file and pass it to the server on
startup. They call those files `POW` files and have ``.pow``
extension.
It should look something like:
.. code-block:: console
$ cat backup.pow
kapow route add -X PUT /db/backup -e ./backup_db.sh
And then you can start Kapow! with it:
.. code-block:: console
$ kapow server backup.pow
**Junior**
Great! Now it says:
.. code-block:: console
$ kapow server backup.pow
2019/11/26 11:40:01 Running powfile: "backup.pow"
{"id":"19bb4ac7-1039-11ea-aa00-106530610c4d","method":"PUT","url_pattern":"/db/backup","entrypoint":"./backup_db.sh","command":"","index":0}
2019/11/26 11:40:01 Done running powfile: "backup.pow"
I understand that this is proof that we have the endpoint available.
**Senior**
That appears to be the case, but better we check it.
Call it with ``curl``:
.. code-block:: console
$ curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/db/backup
**Junior**
Yay! I can see the log file at ``/tmp/backup_db.log``
**Senior**
That's great. I am going to install all this in the *Corporate Server*
and forget about the old procedure.
That enough for your first day! You can go home.
