Multi-platform Docker builds forces you to push images directly into Docker Hub. This is annoying if you want to test your image before publishing to Docker Hub.

Describe the solution you would like.

Users that would like multi-platform docker image builds should be able to store newly built images locally in the first instance.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

• Pushing images to Docker Hub, then downloading for testing. Not feasible when creating new capability and the images are large.
• Use Docker Desktop's containerd for pulling and storing images. Currently a beta feature.

Add versioning based on GtiVersion.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Add support for a standalone Makester deployment in addition to submodule integration. See ohmyzsh as an example.

Describe the solution you would like.

Allow Makester to be installed as a standalone entity that can be used by all Git projects.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Currently, Makester can only be integrated into existing projects as a Git submodule.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Emulate AWS services for CI/CD with LocalStack.

Describe the solution you would like.

Embellish the Makester Terraform subsytem with local cloud emulation so avoid an expensive AWS subscription.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Using an AWS subscription for development purposes. Sadly, AWS does not distinguish between production and development. The dollar value is identical between environments.

Additional context

The fact that AWS charges you to "develop" on their platform is the greatest grift in IT.

Describe the bug.

Makester version 0.1.2

Every other python virtual environment build fails with missing python3 binary:

### Deleting existing environment <...>/3env ...
### Creating Wheel directory "~/wheelhouse"...
### Creating virtual environment <...>/keez/3env ...
### Preparing pip and setuptools ...
### Installing ...
gmake: <...>/3env/bin/python3: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [makester/makefiles/python-venv.mk:54: init-env] Error 127

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

• Add the makester/makefiles/python-venv.mk to project Makefile
• Execute the pip-editable target
• Check the 3env/bin/ directory exists
• Repeat run of the pip-editable target

Python code typing is a candidate for extending Makester capability.

Describe the solution you would like.

Integrate mypy into Makester.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Install mypy for every project as a separate entity. Just let Makester handle it.

Additional context

This is generic a feature that is missing from Makester.

Add MicroK8s support for for testing, experimentation and shaking out production deployments.

Describe the solution you would like.

Add MicroK8s as an alternative option to minikube.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Makester minikube. But MicroK8s aguably offers more features.

Makester is missing a Markdown formatter.

Describe the solution you would like.

Consider adding support for a Markdown formatter.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Adding tools such as mdformat to all projects.

Additional context

Common tooling should be centralised.

When makester is used in environments where Docker is not available, I need to override MAKESTER__DOCKER with a dummy value to proceed.

Describe the solution you would like.

If MAKESTER__DOCKER is not available then continue without a hard fail. Limit failure to command that use docker directly.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Place a MAKESTER__DOCKER=docker before the make calls. This looks clunky.

I'm building my images on linux/arm64 but also want these to support linux/amd64.

Describe the solution you would like.

See Leverage multi-CPU architecture support.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Building images manually, but that's a pain.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Add support for release builds.

Describe the solution you would like.

When used with the gitversion-release target, release* branches should simulate the main-line versioning conditions. The release branch can then be merged into the main-line branch through the normal PR process.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Manually patching the VERSION file from a pre-release by removing the rc token.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The local registry server will alter MAKESTER__SERVICE_NAME based on whether the server is running or not. This make MAKESTER__SERVICE_NAME difficult to track and implement into recipes.

Describe the solution you would like.

A static alternate to MAKESTER__SERVICE_NAME.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Describe the bug.

When launching the MicroK8s dashboard, the credentials are not generated.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

1. Run target make microk8s-up
2. Error message is displayed:

### Login to the MicroK8s Kubernetes dashboard with following token:
Error from server (NotFound): secrets "microk8s-dashboard-token" not found

Expected behavior.

A token is displayed that I can use to login to the k8s dashboard.

Describe the bug.

When running the Makester primer script in upgrade mode, the project Makefile is clobbered.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

1. Run the upgrade tool:

makester/resources/scripts/primer.sh -u

2. Observe the project Makefile has been clobbered.

Expected behavior.

Upgrade and Makefile initialisation should be mutually exclusive steps.

Describe the bug.

When following the Docker Makefile examples, the sample Makefile cannot be found and generates an error.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

1. Run the sample Makefile help

make -f sample/Makefile help

2. Observe error:

make: sample/Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'sample/Makefile'.  Stop.

Expected behavior.

The sample Makefile help should display.

Additional context.

It appears that the sample Makefile is now located under resources/sample/Makefile but the documentation has not been updated to reflect the change.

Describe the bug.

Latest Docker gittools/gitversion:latest breaks Makester makester/sample/GitVersion.yml.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

1. Run the gitversion-release target

Expected behavior.

GitVersion does not error and a valid versioning snapshot is output to .makester/versioning.

Screenshots.
