Pull Dokku Module out and upload to Puppet Forge #3

Open rchrd2 opened 9 years ago

rchrd2 commented 9 years ago

Hi, I have been trying out different PaaS options for a few days now in different situations. I just found lair and your Dokku Puppet module.

It would be useful if the internal puppet module was pulled out and added to the puppet forge.

Also, what is the status of lair? Is it abandoned? It seems like it should still be useful in theory, being that it links to the actively maintained dokku repo.

Thanks.

This is a project that's in limbo as I would like to see it developed but don't have the bandwidth to work on it right now. If you're interested in contributing/taking it on, let's talk.

As for adding the internal puppet dokku module to Forge, I'll look into it - again, I don't want to release something that I don't have the bandwidth to maintain, so I'm hesitant to do that right now.

I like the concept of this project. I am trying it out. So far I discovered it only works on ubuntu precise (12.04) and does not work on (14.04) (both tried on digital ocean).

Ultimately, I'd like to see lair and the puppet module for dokku separated.

Lair could be as a helper to bootstrap dokku quickly.
The puppet module could be for when people want to roll their own infrastructure and are already using puppet for other things.

These ideas might change as I use it more. I'll keep familiarizing myself with lair and see if it is something I can take leadership on.

Some features I'd like to see in the puppet module:

Ability to install plugins such as services like postgres, redis
Ability to upgrade dokku version
? Ability to create apps
? Ability to create services and link services to apps
? Ability to set config values
Reference: Chef-dokku

I am also still evaluating Dokku-Alt and trying to understand the differences.

Hi. I have been working on the puppet module. I fixed some issues, and I added a new type which allows installation of plugins. I was wondering if you had any objections to me pulling this into it's own repo and publishing to the puppet forge? There's a bit of technicality of deciding the Modulefile details. Are you attached to your authorship of this module? Do you mind if I put myself as the author and give you credit within the code?

qrohlf commented 9 years ago

Awesome! No, I'm not at all opposed to you taking authorship/maintainership of the Puppet dokku module. If you don't mind posting a link to it here, I will likely update lair to depend on it (which would maybe make things work on 14.04?).

Sounds good. I'm going to test it out in it's own repo for a bit, and after it's tested I'll publish to the puppet forge. I'll keep you posted. Thank you.
