Why is there a package.json/node.js for a "Golang TCP proxy"? #5

Because we use node.js to package up the static html for the UI during development; we then check those files in to /static. Node does not run on either the compilation VM or the job VM - it's only used in development.

Oh, there's a UI for a TCP proxy? Is it an haproxy-esque UI for admins?

robdimsdale commented 9 years ago

Yes. It's a Pivotal-UI-branded dashboard for an operator to see the proxy's view of the available backends, their health, and which backend sessions are currently being routed to. It's still in development at the moment.

Ok, thanks.

Why "Pivotal-UI-branded" for a @cloudfoundry-incubator project? Perhaps start with a CF theme instead?

robdimsdale commented 9 years ago

I don't have an answer to that. Perhaps @shalako does?

shalako commented 9 years ago

We don't have a CF theme yet. Designers are looking into a UI framework that supports white-labeling. For now, consider it a default; operators can replace the skin of the UI with their own.

As Rob said, it's still in development.
