In order to advance implementation of both OEP-45: Configuring and Operating Open edX and deprecation of the configuration repository, we would like to switch devstack from using primarily Docker images built with Ansible code from the configuration repository to images built from Dockerfiles in each service's repository. We hope this will also help simplify Tutor by providing better base images to derive from, with fewer workarounds and duplicated code blocks required in Tutor.
A/C
Ensure that the repo's Dockerfile can create a base image which is appropriate for small production installations
Ensure that the repo's Dockerfile also defines an additional image derived from the base which adds dependencies and configuration changes needed for development environments
Check with the Tutor developers during code review to see if any further changes to the Dockerfile would help simplify Tutor
Automate uploads of both images when code changes are merged
Switch devstack to use the new Ansible-free development image, and do some basic testing to ensure it works before merging
I am moving this ticket to blocked because it does not have any clear action items, but it is not complete. Either the issue or the linked PRs should be updated so that work can be completed.
