☕ Purpose

This PR creates the initial structure for our Rust application. The idea here is not to have anything useful yet, but to have the founding stone of it.

🧐 The problem

Some users have a complex network structure. It is common to have a harvester machine completely separate from the farm itself. It is a hard process to keep moving HDDs from one machine to the other, which could be way easier by using the network.

💡 What solution do I want

We should implement something similar to Plotman's archiving, by finding a way to move a finished plot after Phase 5 to its given final destination on an HDD over the network.

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing.

🧐 The problem

Since plotting relies on optimal performance, it is common for users to monitor their hardware performance. Usually, it is pretty hard to associate CPU, SSD, and HDD performance with the plot process itself.

💡 What solution do I want

We should allow our users to analyze their logs, finding an easy way to associate a given plot with its performance metrics. For example, knowing the average CPU, SSD, and HDD speeds on each phase.

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing.

🍪 Further details

Associated from this discussion.

🧐 The problem

Most plot managers can decide if they should launch a new plot task based on the available disk space, but none of those can also create a maximum cap for the given storage.

💡 What solution do I want

We should allow our users to define how much space they want to fill with plots. Being able not to just stop when there is no more space, but also when the storage reaches a given % capacity.

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing.

🧐 The problem

Since Phase 5 is basically a waste (because moving to HDD is extremely slow), we should be able to launch new processes as soon as the Phase 5 hook is triggered.

💡 What solution do I want

We should find a way to link our process manager to launch the next task given that hook.

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing

🧐 The problem

Some users would like to trigger a specific task, or even an external program, when a plot reaches a specific phase. That can be pretty useful for both notifications and dashboard solutions.

💡 What solution do I want

We should be able to hook external programs when a given plot reaches a specific phase.

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing

🧐 The problem

When I started plotting Chia, I was extremely frustrated with other plot manager tools, because (at least in my opinion) since they have all the info, why they never coded a hook to launch new plotting processes based on phase transitions?

💡 What solution do I want

We should be able to launch new plots as soon as a given plot process reaches a specific phase (configured by the user)

😰 What have I tried to do already

Nothing.
