Hi,
In order to make Kallithea more easily configurable via automation tools
(like Puppet), it would be really helpful if I could manage various
settings, which are stored in the database backend and normally
configured via the webinterface, via the API.
For example, LDAP configuration is a classic realm of configuration
management from my point of view, but there is no easy way to configure
this in Kallithea in an automatic way.
Agreed!
But also, config settings (which currently not are per repo) are very
fundamental things. They might thus not be the best candidates for
exposing on a web service API. It could also easily end up in a chicken
and egg problem - especially when it gets to the initial user and
authentication configuration.
An alternative idea could thus perhaps be to do something like tweaking
paster setup-app/setup-db so it also could be used without zapping the
database and extend it to also be able to set more than just the initial
user credentials.
The chicken-and-egg problem could also be handled by implementing the
API you suggest and giving kallithea-api a mode where it access the
controllers and database directly in the process (assuming it is passed
the right .ini file and has the right permissions to database and
filesystems) instead of calling a web service.
