CivCloud: Releases & Roadmap

Release Notes

v0.1.0

This is a pure prototype implementation lacking many production-grade features. It implements the bare-bones basics for deploying a project to an infrastructure node.

• Implements a system-level HTTP router to route traffic to projects
• Implements an intake workflow to convert annotated docker-compose files into project resources
  • Based on combination of git url/git ref/docker-compose file path
• Administrator-defined deployment information (node placement, service replica count) specified via Ansible inventory variables
• Implements deployment steps to create & run project resources
  • Can pull or build container images (will pull image if specified, otherwise builds image
  • Can populate volumes with initial data from a container image or a remote archive (zip or tar)
  • Runs specified number of service instances as docker containers
  • Volumes created as local disk image files & bind-mounted into service containers
• Implements deployment steps to create routes for projects
• Implements provisioning & configuration workflow for new nodes
