This documentation describes high-level approach to creating Waldur downstream forks. It may be of interest to developers who may want to integrate their tools with Waldur.

System requirements

• Linux (CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 tested) or OS X.
• At least 2 GB of RAM, more is better.
• Docker and git should be installed and running.

Image building instructions

# Clone current repository
mkdir -p ~/repos
cd ~/repos
git clone git@code.opennodecloud.com:waldur/waldur-downstream.git

# Enable Waldur scripts
export PATH="${PATH}:~/repos/waldur-downstream/scripts"

# Build all Docker images
cd waldur-downstream/images
cd waldur-mastermind-build && ./build.sh && cd ../
cd waldur-mastermind-test && ./build.sh && cd ../
cd waldur-homeport-build && ./build.sh && cd ../

Clone source code repositories

Example for Waldur Core:

cd ~/repos
git clone https://github.com/opennode/waldur-core.git

Example for Waldur MasterMind:

cd ~/repos
git clone https://github.com/opennode/waldur-mastermind.git

Example for Waldur HomePort:

cd ~/repos
git clone https://github.com/opennode/waldur-homeport.git

Testing instructions

Example for Waldur Core:

cd ~/repos/waldur-core
waldur-core-test

Example for Waldur MasterMind:

cd ~/repos/waldur-mastermind
waldur-mastermind-test

Example for Waldur HomePort:

cd ~/repos/waldur-homeport
waldur-homeport-test

RPM building instructions

The same script is used for all components. After script is executed successfully, RPM file is created in the local directory. Please don't forget to move or delete it before subsequent run is executed.

waldur-build-rpm

Release instructions

waldur-release script modifies RPM spec, package.json and setup.py so that new version is specified consistently in all these files.

In order to omit blocking of development branch while release process is in progress, usually release is executed in three steps:

1. Start phase - new branch corresponding to release is created;
2. Tests are executed in new branch;
3. If all tests have passed, release is finished, ie changes from release branch are propagated to the master branch, and release branch is deleted.

For example:

cd ~/repos/waldur-homeport
waldur-release start 3.0.0
waldur-homeport-test
waldur-release finish 3.0.0

Implementing plugins

Waldur is composed of backend server, also known as Waldur MasterMind, and fronted client, known as Waldur HomePort.

In order to implement backend plugin, you should use Waldur plugin for cookiecutter. In order to implement frontend plugin, you should fork Waldur HomePort, and place all your plugins in app/scripts/plugins directory.
