=== Docker-based scenery toolchain === | |||
Torsten has recently been working on preparing and running Docker-containers for the scenery toolchain. The jenkins server responsible for maintaining the terrasync data at https://scenery.flightgear.org/jenkins/ already does some tasks within containers. | |||
The jenkins instance itself will move into a container soon. Torsten also created a Docker image for terragear to make its usage a lot easier. The short term goal is to get all the tools required to run the scenemodels database with its web frontend, the terrasync upstream data maintenance into containers, hoping to be able to run this entire chain at any public or private cloud. | |||
A mid term goal might be to have terragear running from Jenkins on automatically-provisioned virtual machines whenever a new scenery set needs to be rebuilt. There is still a lot to do before this becomes reality and a docker swarm or kubernetes cluster generates scenery for us regulary. | |||
As all journeys starts with the first step, Torsten is happy to announce the public docker repository for our images and the git repository for the config files behind: | |||
* Our official docker hub repository is at: https://hub.docker.com/u/flightgear/ | |||
* The backing Dockerfiles live at: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/docker/ | |||
Anybody interested in driving this forward, willing to learn or contribute is more than welcome to do so. <ref>{{cite web | |||
