Hi,
I want to create a bunch of Karaf instances with each running on a
dedicated IP address with the same ports rather than all using all IP
addresses and different ports.
For our infrastructure this is much easier to manage (giving a greater
consistency with only one variable for each instance).
The issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1128 describes
what I want (if the last sentence is implemented), but it's not clear
whether that's what the reporter wanted and it hasn't had any movement
in 2 years.
So:
Are there any fundamental issues with having instances running on
dedicated IP addresses?
What's the easiest way for me to get it?
If an instance is just the files under the instances directory I can
easily write a bash script that does what I need.
If there is a desire to get the ability into the main karaf I'm happy to
write a patch for the instance feature as long as it (or some corrected
version of it :) gets included fairly soon.
Or, I'm very happy to leave it to someone else to make the change.
This is for a new deployment, so I'm only looking at 3.X and I need it
usable within a month (quite happy with a temporary hack or SNAPSHOT
deployment or instance on that timescale).
Thanks.
Jim
