Support Bosh Link to allow a multi VM deployment #56

Closed janaurka closed 7 years ago

janaurka commented 7 years ago

Hey

This is a feature-request.

It would be great if the shield-boshdeployment would support bosh links which would allow to install nginx and shield in a dedicated vm and stuff like shield.daemon.database.host would not have to be set statically.

(I hope to find some time to implement this on my own.)

cheers

@janaurka have you found the time to implement this on your own, or should we take a crack at it?

janaurka commented 7 years ago

@jhunt: unfortunately i did not fine any time to get this implemented :(

if you have some time, sure.

I looked at this again this morning; the way we have set up the authentication and whatnot for postgres (databases.roles.[tag=...]) doesn't work very well with links.

I'm proposing we add a new database job that can self-select postgres / mysql, and can be linked appropriately using bosh v2 semantics. The link would be optional, at least until we decide people have had enough time to migrate.

Thoughts?

@janaurka just checking in to see if this is still helpful; Thanks 👍

As we roll out v7, more and more of SHIELD is moving into a single VM anyway, so I'm not sure we still need links...

Sorry, running around on the summit, did not find the time to reply here. I guess it’s not required anymore, so I’ll close this.
