Dependency overload #189

Closed TD-4242 closed 6 years ago

TD-4242 commented 9 years ago

Would it be worth while to break this cookbook up into 4 different cookbooks? Installing the agent seems to pull in a lot of unneeded attributes and cookbooks.

I'm thinking:

zabbix-agent - with agent and depend agent specific dependencies zabbix-server - with server and depend on server specific dependencies zabbix-web - with front-end and depend on web specific dependencies

Or is there a trick I don't know to help manage this?

I started trying this out and created a new project based on the origininal laradji/zabbix project to get a feel for how it would look.

this is still in great flux and has yet to be tested fully.

I have the zabbix-agent cookbook pretty well fleshed out. Just adding testing and support for all platforms supported by test kitchen. I also have a zabbix-server and zabbix-web repo in my github but they are no where near ready for use. As I get time I'll be working on them though.

I also moved all the lwrps to libzabbix cookbook. All together you should be able to deploy with only minimal dependencies.

@TD-4242 Are you planning on releasing new version of zabbix-agent and then uploading to supermarket soon? I'd like to depend on your cookbook instead of this one when installing only the agent.

TD-4242 commented 9 years ago

it is in the supermarket now.

@TD-4242 I was talking about 0.13.0 but after reviewing all the commits since 0.12.0 release they seem mostly all documentation changes. I'll proceed with 0.12.0.

Yes, I've just been working on documentation and kitchen testing. Minor changes to support fedora and systemd are currently on my workbench. I don't personally use either so the priority is pretty low.
