John Stone commented on METRON-78:
----------------------------------
Had a conversation about this ticket on the dev@ mailing list yesterday. Sounds
like we want Ansible to be able to call Maven to build Metron (i.e. another
task in metron_install). So I'm clicking around existing tasks to look for a
pattern I can mimic. I've clicked through a chunk of them and I've mostly seen
pre-built binaries pulled from repos/urls/local (using yum/get_url/copy). I did
find a few tasks (ex. bro-plugin-kafka) that'll compile the code on the remote
node, but no running commands locally yet. So just throwing out a few patterns
off the top of my head here and see which one you might like and then I can
iterate on...
1. Use ansible "copy" to copy the local source code to the node and build
there.
2. Or ansible "git" to clone the code (instead of "copy")... but still build
remotely.
3. Use the build server to build the code and expose it via yum, github
get_url, maven artifact, etc.
4. Use ansible "Local Playbooks" to build locally via ansible "command"...
(http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_delegation.html#local-playbooks)
Local Playbooks looks interesting, because appears to just be a playbook that
runs locally. Which means it's kinda similar to #1 or #2, just without the
copy/git-clone... and it means we could add other things eventually, like
installing maven and other dependencies if needed, but maybe that would creep
people out if we were installing a particular JDK on their local machine if it
wasn't inside something like vagrant.
For the "Getting Started" or "Deploy Metron" people (and not the developer
people), the #3 option seems nice, where the build server is exposing binaries
for Ansible just to consume.... And technically, option #1 & #2 are really just
acting like build servers.
Thoughts?
