Do I need programming experience to package a service for StartOS?
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
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 StartOS!
|
|
|
|
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 StartOS
|
|
#. Make sure it is :ref:`Open Source <open-source>`
|
|
#. A service that incorporates a 'self-hosting' option, or is capable of being self-hosted
|
|
|
|
Recommendations that may ease the process:
|
|
|
|
#. A service that has already been 'dockerized' (has a **working** ``Dockerfile``)
|
|
#. A service written in a language you are familiar with
|
|
#. A service with a strong community
|
|
|
|
You can check this expansive list if you are in search of ideas: `Awesome Self-Hosted <https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted>`_
|
|
|
|
What if I don't need a Config in my service?
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
Config files can be empty( ``{}`` ), if you do not require config. `File Browser <https://github.com/Start9Labs/filebrowser-wrapper/blob/master/config_spec.yaml>`_ is an example of a service with no Config.
|
|
|
|
How can my service access the data directory of another service?
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#. Provider service needs to expose datadir to other services on StartOS
|
|
#. 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
|
|
|
|
Check out `LND <https://github.com/Start9Labs/lnd-wrapper/blob/master/manifest.yaml>`_ and `RTL <https://github.com/Start9Labs/ride-the-lightning-wrapper/blob/master/manifest.yaml>`_ as an example.
|
|
|
|
Why am I getting the error "No rule to make target yq, needed by manifest.yaml?"
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This is the message you get when you're missing the yq executable on your ``$PATH``. You can find details to `install yq here <https://github.com/mikefarah/yq#install>`_.` |
