Discussing the `ee` folder and SigNoz OpenSource version

TLDR Srinivas and Bharadwaj had queries about the ee folder in SigNoz's GitHub repo. vishal-signoz clarified that it is part of the enterprise version, open-source but with a license preventing modifications. The docker images use ee components by default. vishal-signoz guided Bharadwaj on how to run SigNoz without compiling with the ee query service.

Hello everyone!

We had a quick question regarding the ee folder that is present in the github repo.

Is that folder part of the enterprise edition and not present in the OpenSource version?

Yes, ee folder is part of enterprise version. It is also opensource but has enterprise license which prevents modifications.

So just to confirm, the docker images which are available dont have the ee directory or any of its contents as part of any of the components right?

The Makefile seems to use only the pkg dir for building the query service.

By default docker images use ee components. It can be self hosted for free.

Just revisiting the ee directory, is it not possible to run SigNoz without compiling with the ee query service?

It is possible to run SigNoz without ee.
You will need to build SigNoz using the Makefile present in repo.
Though I am curious why do you want to run SigNoz without ee? What’s the usecase?

Its more around evaluation of SigNoz and its licensing for usage in the org

Because we see that even though we disable ee and modify pkg/query-service , the frontend doesnt work for some of the tabs like services and there are some api which are of course only present in the ee/query-service

Only APIs related to SSO are exclusive to ee.
SigNoz is designed to work without ee
You might still be building using ee, build using pkg/query-service.

Hey vishal-signoz šŸ™‚

So the thing is, we were able to build without ee.

What threw us off is that, when we ran everything via docker-compose, the frontend showed a 404 for /api/v1/services

Our assumption was that this route was only supported in the ee version, but on further digging, it seems to be nil (unhandled?) when we dont provide a skip top level config file to the query service

Maybe a 500 should be thrown in this case and maybe we should not mandate users to set a skip config file? Happy to file a bug if required.
