Is this project still maintained? #220

Setheck commented 1 year ago

After submitting an issue over a year ago there has been no movement. https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s-ansible/issues/190 I think missing scripts for basic management in alignment with k3s docs makes using this playbook unusable.

Is this project still maintained?

KI7ODK commented 1 year ago

I was wondering the same. There are multiple issues that have been posted which I believe are related to the same simple fix. No progress has been made.

It's really sad to see this project like this. It was in a good state and there seems to be people willing to contribute to keep it up to date. Might be worth trying to get in contact with someone at Rancher and the k3s team about this. They did take the project in under their org once upon a time after all.

As a sidenote I have had good results with this:

https://github.com/PyratLabs/ansible-role-k3s

Although it is also looking for new maintainer.

I was thinking along the same lines. I managed to find an email for one of the people listed under k3s-io and reached out. I'll report if I hear anything back.

Reading this proves me that I cleariy don't have the time to maintain this anymore. Unfortunately I don't have the rights to give maintainer permissions.

I would say we have a couple of options:

  1. Find at least 2 people to help @itwars and me to run this. Then ask one of k3s org members to add them as maintainer.
  2. Deprecate this in favor of https://github.com/PyratLabs/ansible-role-k3s and join forces

About 2. I know that quite a few people like the simplicity of k3s-ansible compared to ansible-role-k3s. I didn't feel that when I tried it.

What do you think about 1 or 2 ?

As a contributor to this project;

I started to use https://github.com/PyratLabs/ansible-role-k3s the author of the role asked to merge the projects a couple of months back ( not sure if this issue is still open ) because he wanted/needed some help. He got some help to maintain his project now if I understood it correctly

While I like the simplicity and the code in this project. I like https://github.com/PyratLabs/ansible-role-k3s a lot. The fact that it's a "real" role also makes it easier to integrate in other projects.

So I'd go with option 2 and look if we can reuse some code from this project.

I agree with the sentiment of having an importable role. It feels odd to clone a repo to run a playbook. ansible-role-k3s has better alignment with Ansible's code sharing practices. Plus, consolidating down to one repo should also increase overall activity, producing a better product.

In terms of consumability, I feel that with some TLC on the docs, this would be much easier for someone starting off. The README would benefit greatly from some reorganization and reformatting.

As part of Hackweek and because I have the permissions as a K3s dev, I am attempting to cleanup this repo as much as possible. That includes:

There likely won't be an expansion of utility that people would want. So likely no:

Basically, it will utilize everything K3s ships by default and not vary from that. There are many other ansible projects out there that expand with K3s + Extra. And pointing those cool projects out should be a part of this repo.

Afterwards I will attempt to maintain this repo, but obviously people have forked and largely moved on from this project.

Really happy to see this come to life again. Kudos to @dereknola!
