[harshad16]

This image would help with the meteor workflow in various places.

@harshad16 would this image be similar to the https://github.com/AICoE/s2i-custom-notebook image, so that it can be used as a base image for the subsequent images used in Meteor?

[harshad16]

No @4n4nd , it would just a base image with jupyterbook addition :) and would be used in the pipeline to run some commands

As @harshad16 pointed out. This image will be a builder image with following spec:

1. based on s2i-nginx or s2i-httpd
2. includes additional jupyter-book binary
3. includes a custom assembly script step executing the jupyter-book build and moving files around so they the nginx can serve them.

Together with @harshad16 we also decided to host this image together with other s2i images in the thoth station, is that correct @harshad16 ?

@tumido we have s2i base images with gunicorn that are available and offered by thoth+python maintenance team. I saw you are building the service in go, what is the reason for that?

In this case we need something that would serve static HTML - this is html is generated from jupyter-book build binary. We don't need much python in this case.

@fridex the go service is unrelated to this ticket. Reason for go is that in the next iteration the codebase will be reused and split into a OpenShift operator and a lightweight web service. It's easier to work with kubernetes in golang.
