Panamax template for Strider

[mahnunchik]

I just want to notify you that I and @mrsmith have prepared ​​Panamax template for Strider: https://github.com/CenturyLinkLabs/panamax-contest-templates/blob/master/stridercd_mrsmith.pmx

This template uses default docker image.

Hi @mahnunchik thanks for your contribution (I guess? I need to learn more). Can you tell us a little about Panamax?

I have been seeing it often in reference to some sort of contest. (Smells fishy, like a marketing gimmick or something). At face value that pmx file just looks like it is wrapping some basic info about Strider (that the Dockerfile takes care of anyway, like which port to expose) and even goes so far as to indicate what port on the host to bind to (why? What if I am running something else on 3030? Do I then have to fork your pmx file? Seems conflict-prone). Is that pmx format like fig ?

If strider used, say, an external mongodb via docker links, would the pmx file support it in such a way that is better than fig or something?

Did you write this because a contest compelled you to or is there some real utility with panamax. I Don't mean to sound snide, but the 'contest' thing has my guard up -- perhaps you can inform us a little bit. We'd be really grateful. Thanks again

Hi,

Most of the questions addressed to the authors of Panamax. I am not affiliated with the authors but I'll try to answer some of them;)

I have been seeing it often in reference to some sort of contest. (Smells fishy, like a marketing gimmick or something).

Yes, it's contest and I participate in it. Most likely it is marketing, but I like the quintessence of coding and marketing;)

Can you tell us a little about Panamax?

"An open-source project that makes deploying complex containerized apps as easy as Drag-and-Drop." I had heard about Panamax from this article: http://www.centurylinklabs.com/announcing-panamax-docker-management-for-humans/

Now there are a lot more problems... But according their answers they have a really good roadmap https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/panamax_io

Yep

When I found out about Panamax I tried to run on it projects that are of interest to me, so were made a few templates. I decided to inform the authors. Maybe template will be useful for you.

And thank you for your great project!

@keyvanfatehi maybe we can add it to the resources section in the readme? Thoughts?

Perhaps a "ways to get Strider" section would be good, yeah
