Topics:

The Road to Ansible Container 1.0

  • Where are we with the prebaked conductors?

  • ryansb has changes to j00bar’s branch. Wants to close the PR and rebase.

  • ryansb has concerns about testing images before they ship - believes we have to cut a new CLI version to update prebaked conductors - j00bar says we do not - we can repush under the same label matching ansible-container version - chouseknecht points out we will have to push images every time we make a release though - j00bar agrees

  • gregdek says we can cut another 0.9.x release prior to 1.0 for testing prebake

  • chouseknecht asks if the ansible-container code will be baked into the prebaked conductors; j00bar says yes.

  • gregdek asks if we assume “:latest” tag on images; ryansb says we do not, that we label with version from ansible-container code

  • gregdek asks about user-submitted conductors. j00bar and ryandb respond that users can bring their own conductor still and that we’re always open to more supported prebakes if we missed a popular base image

  • Other show stoppers?

  • j00bar really wants to get “the shim” done - a wrapper around the python execution to better seamlessly support py3 build targets

  • j00bar believes issue #564 (https://github.com/ansible/ansible-container/issues/564) is a show-stopper

  • gregdek says the issue has been closed and the milestone it belongs to closed as well

  • j00bar says it looks like we need to increment the version of docker-py and we should be good

  • tima points out we should have a blog post ready for the next release and gregdek agrees

The Buildah engine

  • ttomecek - the core.py implementation is too Docker specific. j00bar agrees to help refactor.

Lightbulb for Ansible Container

  • tima wants an iterative walkthrough to make a deck/demos for self-learning as well as SAs or motivated community members at meetups to use

  • gregdek suggests taking the existing ansible-container-demo and walking backward from there

Administrivia

  • We need to get setup on ansible/community on GitHub for this WG. It will be divyed up between tima and ryansb.
