Service Packaging FAQ
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Do I need programming experience to package a service for EmbassyOS?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
It would be helpful, but is not a pre-requisite. Linux, dev-ops, and/or systems administration experience would all be helpful as well. Keep in mind that everyone has to start somewhere, and perhaps your journey to development begins with packaging a service for EOS!
|
|
|
|
What considerations are there when choosing a service for packaging?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
There are several things you will want to consider. Requirements include:
|
|
|
|
#. Most importantly, pick a service you are passionate about seeing on EmbassyOS
|
|
#. Make sure it is :ref:`Open Source <open-source>`
|
|
|
|
Recommendations that may ease the process:
|
|
|
|
#. A service that has already been 'dockerized' (has a **working** ``Dockerfile``)
|
|
#. A service that incorporates a 'self-hosting' option
|
|
#. A service written in a language you are familiar with
|
|
#. A service with a strong community
|
|
|
|

|
|
What if I don't need a Config in my service?
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
Config files can be empty(``{}``), if you do not require config.
|
|
|
|
How can my service access the data directory of another service?
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#. Provider service needs to expose datadir to other services on embassy
|
|
#. Consumer services needs to list the provider service as a dependency AND set a particular config value, stating that it wants data from that particular service
