COmanage Developers List

[Tom Zeller <>]

Mostly Scott,

I guess what I was trying to ask on today's dev call was, is it worth
it to use Docker for testing ?

I've found comanage-registry-docker helpful, and as a next step in
working on an issue I was going to create a Docker image from which to
start my reproduce + trial-and-error troubleshooting cycle. And I was
going to create the Docker image to save me time instead of wiping the
database and initializing the app, etc. My next thought was that I
could see myself creating a number of these images used for tests, and
it might be a good idea to store them somewhere and use them as part
of CI.

Does it make any sense to create Docker images of pre-initialized
COmanage instances ? I think you mentioned pushing images to docker
Hub for the code, but would we do that for the database ? like a demo
?

I know on the call we said that we didn't want to spend effort
building stuff which eventually would be thrown away, like during a
framework upgrade. But it seems Docker images of COmanage would be a
level above the framework, and would make testing such an upgrade
possible.

Also not sure how any of this ties into the TIER pipeline.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks,
Tom
