This DAP (DevAssistant Package) contains assistants for working with containerized apps using the Nulecule specification.
To use these assistants, you need to install DevAssistant version 0.11.0 or later. If you are running Fedora 22 Beta or Rawhide, you can get DevAssistant by running:
dnf install devassistant
You can then install this DAP by running da pkg install nulecule. To update
this DAP, run da pkg update nulecule.
The creator assistant prepares a project directory with all necessary files. These will be filled out based on information provided by the user. To find more information about running this assistant, execute this in the terminal:
da create nulecule -h
The extra > validate assistant inspects the project's directory, determines
if all necessary files are in their place, and runs a Nulecule validator script
on the Nulecule file. To execute this assistant, run the following in your
app's directory:
da extra nulecule validate
I want to create a Nulecule-compatible application called MyApp, with Kubernetes support enabled by default. I then run:
da create nulecule -n MyApp --author "Tomas Radej" --email "[email protected]"
--license MIT --description "My first Nulecule App" --kubernetes
The assistant automatically creates directory contents in ./MyApp, which will
then look like this:
.
├── artifacts
│ └── kubernetes
│ ├── MyApp-pod.yaml
│ └── MyApp-service.yaml
├── Dockerfile
├── LICENSE
├── Nulecule
└── README.md
and the Nulecule file like this:
---
specversion: 0.0.2
id: MyApp-app
metadata:
name: MyApp
appversion: 0.0.1a
description: My first Nulecule App
license:
name: MIT
authors: [ "Tomas Radej <[email protected]>" ]
homepage:
graph:
- name: MyApp
artifacts:
kubernetes:
- file://artifacts/kubernetes/MyApp-pod.yaml
- file://artifacts/kubernetes/MyApp-service.yaml
Note: At the moment, the assistants don't check for dependencies because some of them are not officially released and/or packaged yet. Similarly, the validator script is bundled with this assistant now. All these problems will be fixed in future versions and are not to stay.
