Hello Alex! If you want to run the platform locally, we have a number of options including using Docker Compose ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-devtools/tree/master/docker-compose), running a VM using Vagrant ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk#quick-start) or even Kubernetes (https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube).
Docker Compose is probably the simplest and fastest if you just want to play around, I wrote up an overview of this approach here recently ( http://jamesthom.as/blog/2018/01/19/starting-openwhisk-in-sixty-seconds/). <vendor_plug>If you just want to try OpenWhisk out, you can always sign up for a free IBM Cloud Functions account which is a managed OpenWhisk platform with a free tier in the public cloud.</vendor_plug> Adding a C# runtime is something people have talked about for a while but no-one has done much with yet... There is an open isse about this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/3003 If you can compile the c# source code into a static binary (compiled for the linux architecture), you can deploy this as a native function without any changes to the platform. If you do need to provide the runtime as a native runtime, you will need to implement the simple HTTP API exposed by the runtime containers that the platform talks to. Another community member recently added PHP support, so his PR would be a good place to start for instructions. https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/2415 All the runtimes are now in separate projects in Github. Reviewing the existing runtimes should give you a good place to start. Feel free to ask questions on here or on the Slack channel. https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=incubator-openwhisk-runtime&type= On 22 February 2018 at 10:05, Alex Hitchins <a...@alexhitchins.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm quite interested in the project, can anyone point me to some resources > to get me going quickly? > > I come from a long C# background and am quite interested in adding this > tooling (or .Net Core) to the mix of technologies already available. > > > Alexander Hitchins > ------------------------ > E: a...@alexhitchins.com > W: alexhitchins.com > M: 07788 423 969 > T: 01892 523 587 > > > -- Regards, James Thomas
