# OONI Probe Client Library and CLI
|
|
|
|
[](https://godoc.org/github.com/ooni/probe-cli) [](https://coveralls.io/github/ooni/probe-cli?branch=master) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/ooni/probe-cli/v3)
|
|
|
|
The [Open Observatory of Network Interference](https://ooni.org) (OONI) is a non-profit free software project
|
|
that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting
|
|
Internet censorship around the world.
|
|
|
|
This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:
|
|
|
|
- the CLI client ([cmd/ooniprobe](cmd/ooniprobe));
|
|
|
|
- the test helper server ([internal/cmd/oohelperd](internal/cmd/oohelperd));
|
|
|
|
- the mobile library ([pkg/oonimkall](pkg/oonimkall));
|
|
|
|
- the OONI Probe engine (inside [internal](internal)).
|
|
|
|
Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file. You
|
|
may also notice that some internal packages live under [internal/engine](internal/engine)
|
|
while most others are top-level. This is part of [a long-standing refactoring](
|
|
https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2115) started when we merged
|
|
https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine into this repository. We'll slowly
|
|
ensure that all packages inside `engine` are moved out of it and inside `internal`.
|
|
|
|
## Semantic versioning policy
|
|
|
|
The mobile library is a public package for technical reasons. Go mobile tools require
|
|
a public package to build from. Yet, we don't consider API breakages happening in
|
|
such a package to be sufficient to bump our major version number. For us, the mobile
|
|
library is just a mean to implement OONI Probe Android and OONI Probe iOS. We'll
|
|
only bump the major version number if we change `./cmd/ooniprobe`'s CLI.

## Build instructions
|
|
|
|
Be sure you have:

### Caveats
|
|
|
|
As of 2022-08-22, building with go1.19 will not include [Psiphon](https://psiphon.ca/) as
|
|
a dependency. Fixing this issue is TODO(https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2222).
|
|
|
|
### ooniprobe
|
|
|
|
Ooniprobe is the official CLI client. Compile using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./cmd/ooniprobe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a binary called `ooniprobe` in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
### miniooni
|
|
|
|
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/miniooni
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a binary called `miniooni` in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
### oohelperd
|
|
|
|
Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/oohelperd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a binary called `oohelperd` in the current directory.
|
|

## Releasing
|
|
|
|
Create an issue according to [the routine release template](
|
|
https://github.com/ooni/probe/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/routine-sprint-releases.md)
|
|
and perform any item inside the check-list.
|
|
|
|
We build releases using [Makefile](Makefile), which requires GNU make. Run
|
|
`make help` for detailed usage.
