c.mah Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hello, Might fall short on the bash scripting but willing to lean. Definitely can help test out once done. Curtis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 @tparys Made a simple POC for changed tool, but to get moving, we need to assemble a team which will focus just on this. I hope more of people that recently applied to help, will be able to join here. Other important field that also needs help, and require similar skills, is automated testing. Take a look how things were done before, check POC and ideas for refactoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tparys Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Happy to help here and there with bash shell scripting, however I believe that @Igor and @lanefu had mentioned that the armbian-config refactor was desired in the Ansible tool, which unfortunately is not in my bag of tricks. Not sure if that's still the case, but maybe worthwhile asking @Werner nicely to update the description to include that desired experience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansible is not suitable for armbian-config core, but we could call ansible playbooks from it. If / when desirable. Perhaps in the app installer part only? But there container based apps would be best ... Ansible is more desirable in automated testings where @Pavel Milanes CO7WT has experiences with and is looking to push things forward in that area. IMO, BASH is still a go to tool for armbian-config 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If / when desirable. Perhaps in the app installer part only? yeah was mostly thinking about using ansible for installers etc, but it could do specific armbian-config core tasks... BUT we'd need a wrapper around it in bash for UI. but i'd view it as something we'd use in a modular fashion rather than build a framework on it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Even though Ansible is not going to cut it we are open for suggestions in any case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
