Service Plugins¶
The managesf server uses a plugin architecture to manage services. It means that services can be added and configured into Software Factory quite easily.
Configuring services¶
Services that will be provided in Software Factory through managesf must be declared in the configuration file, in the “services” section, like so:
services = [
'SFGerrit',
]
Each service has a dedicated configuration section. See below for more details, but keep in mind that for services shipped with Software Factory, the configuration is managed automatically when installing Software Factory’s image and shouldn’t be modified.
Available services¶
SFGerrit¶
Gerrit code review service packaged within Software Factory by default. Authentication is managed by cauth.
configuration section: gerrit
Option | Description |
---|---|
user | the gerrit user |
host | the gerrit host |
url | the gateway URL |
top_domain | the FQDN for the Software Factory deployment |
ssh_port | the ssh port Gerrit listens on |
sshkey_priv_path | the path to Gerrit’s private ssh key |
replication_config_path | the path to the replication configuration |
Writing a service plugin¶
If you are writing your own plugin library, you need to declare your plugins in the entry points section of your library’s setup.py, under the namespace “managesf.v2.<ENDPOINT>” where <ENDPOINT> is the API endpoint you want to implement.
The expected interface varies from endpoint to endpoint and can usually be found in managesf/api/v2/<ENDPOINT>.
