chetanmeh opened a new pull request #4516: Openwhisk in a standalone runnable 
jar
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/4516
 
 
   Enables running a minimal OpenWhisk (with in memory store) as a runnable jar 
outside of docker
   
   ## Description
   
   Currently users looking to explore  OpenWhisk directly have few options like 
[devtools docker compose][1], mini kube etc. This PR provides yet another 
option which enables launching a fully working OpenWhisk server via a runnable 
jar
   
   ```
   java -jar openwhisk-standalone-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
   ```
   
   This launches a fully functional OpenWhisk controller and invoker. You can 
run `wsk` commands against it and launch and execute actions etc. 
   
   ### Design
   
   This PR builds up on [lean openwhisk](#4216) support. It configures 
OpenWhisk to use a `MemoryArtifactStore` (thus avoiding nead of a separate 
CouchDB container) and enables excuting the standard `wsk` commands against it
   
   Key aspects
   
   * Configured by default to use a `MemoryArtifactStore`
   * Can be configured to use another store via simple config
   * Delievered as a jar executable
   * Adapts the config as per OS
   
   ### Usage
   
   First build the standalone module
   
   ```bash
   ./gradlew :core:standalone:build
   ```
   
   Launch the server
   ```
   $ java -jar openwhisk-standalone-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -h
   OpenWhisk standalone launcher
     -c, --config-file  <arg>   application.conf which overwrites the default
                                whisk.conf
     -m, --manifest  <arg>      Manifest json defining the supported runtimes
     -p, --port  <arg>          Server port
     -h, --help                 Show help message
   $ java -jar openwhisk-standalone-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
   ```
   
   ### When to use
   
   This mode may be benefical in cases like
   
   * Running simple test against an OpenWhisk server say when testing 
compositions
   * Faster development cycle - No need to build and relaunch docker container 
to test out simple changes in regular development flow on OpenWhisk core 
codebase
   * Easier entrypoint for new users to get a feel of OpenWhisk features
