Simplify Installation in any way #300

Python setup.py with something like a requirements.txt? https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/setupscript.html, pip3 install -r /path/to/requirements.txt

Bash script? Something like curl https://git.linuxfabrik.ch/path/to/install.sh | sudo bash?

should:

download the monitoring-plugins and lib repos (curl)
copy the checks and lib to the right directory
if icingacli director is available, import all the command definitions (make sure that this will not break the existing config)
deploy the correct sudoers
handle upgrades
throw human readable errors

should use a default PYVER and default to the master branch, but accept those as options

Possibilities to think about

bash-script
using pip including virtual environments
rpm (el, fc, sles, suse) and deb (debian/ubuntu) using a linuxfabrik-repo
plus: what about the Windows versions?

What would be the best? Advantages/Disadvantages? What is the best in a datacenter environment?

And what about Windows?

+1 for debian package :)

markuslf commented 2 years ago

Sounds like there's definitely a need for a Linuxfabrik repo server, based on fpm or something similar.

markuslf commented 2 years ago

RPM or DEB file will do a complete low-level installation including Python psutil (not with pip), like glances does. There will be no dependency on EPEL or similar.

markuslf commented 2 years ago

We will implement this as follows:

Compile all plugins including all Linuxfabrik and 3rd party libraries so that a Python environment is no longer needed on the target host.
Create installation packages with fpm (targets are rpm, deb, etc.) that install the binaries.
