Roadmap

Please do not modify this entry as it will be overwritten. I am maintaining markup in a separate file. Leave a new comment with any suggestions.

Objective

To provide an official Docker-based solution for StackStorm. It may be used for evaluation, pack development, and light production. Long term, we expect to provide a Docker-based solution that makes it easy to scale and build a highly available system that can be used in production.

Roadmap

We welcome you to submit issues and PR's. We expect the roadmap to change as new requests are submitted. The following short and long term tasks and goals have been identified.

Short term

Besides the known issues, we plan to complete the following within the next couple weeks:

• Investigate supporting Docker Stack in addition to Docker Compose.
• Remove VOLUME instruction in current Dockerfile. Update README.md with instructions on how to change docker-compose.yml, or do similar via CLI.
• Remove Dockerfile#L74 and add /entrypoint.d like this: entrypoint.sh#L60-L67. Update README.md with instructions on how to modify pack_base_path.

Long term

These are features or tasks we expect to work on in the future. As we begin work, they will be moved to the "Short term" section.

• Create an image that supports running one app per container (see docker-compose.yml). This makes it easy to scale, and build a highly available system.
  • Heed 12 Fractured Apps, Twelve-Factor App: Logs and Twelve-Factor App: Concurrency
  • Identify any possible required changes to st2 repo.
• Support for K8S.
• Support for Swarm.
• Support for Consul.

IMO, don't get too wrapped up in container orchestration, as there are many competing solutions, and anybody with that level of sophistication can probably integrate it themselves. That's a second order optimization.

Start with getting the Images really ironed out, get the docs really solid and have one good example of how to deploy (e.g. Docker-compose), including best practices on how to pull in packs, configs and SSL certs, how to do upgrades.
Make a list of what is required to move from "eval, light production" to "full production, scale out" for transparency and so others can help out.
