Update the builds documentation to reference using a deployments folder in the application source which will copy binary artifacts to the <JBOSS_HOME>/standalone/deploymentsfolder

We can automatically pull info from Git, such as the Author's name.

The Empty headers on this page are an eyesore.

We were kind of lazy in pointing to the pre-req script. http://0.0.0.0:4000/playbooks/installation/#validating-pre-requisites

We should get better about talking about how to use it.

Need a section describing approaches for WAS and WebLogic, with links to existing projects that describe containerization and running these app servers in OSE 3.

Add opinionated commentary for openshift-ansible variables and options. The official docs have a lot more information on the openshift-ansible variables and options. Provide examples and/or use cases for how these are to be used and link to relevant sections in official docs.

comment from @shah-zobair - Can we recommend to:

1. Configure a separate /var/log/ partition on each node?
2. After installation, can we change the registry IP to a fixed IP (ie: 172.30.0.2) and session affinity?
3. Taking backup of Masters (certs, configuration files).

@redhat-cop/cant-contain-this

Since td-agent needs to run as root, rather than as td-agent, there is no need to change the ownership of the /etc/td-agent or /var/log/td-agent/tmp directories.

I recommend removing these steps.

it would be a cool enhancement to, instead of having a gitbot post, create a custom post in the travis build that would announce new content to RH Chat

for example:

@etsauer thoughts?

Created the website using our docker container. The image for the Contribute to GitHub! link is not displaying (404). The path for the image is not found "img src=/assets/GitHub-Mark-32px.png". Also found the STI JWS and Known Bugs links in the OSE 3 TroubleShooting page are broken (pages not found). The Playbooks index page is also broken; displaying HTML markup instead of rendering the page with list item links.

There's an INFO: callout at http://playbooks-rhtconsulting.rhcloud.com/playbooks/installation/#subscribing-directly-to-red-hat-2 that's not rendering. Look into that.

Hi,
There a slide deck i use to explain how the service loadbalancing functions in the background.
It might be useful inthese documents
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lH6z-GFywCHqA02iSO7X5rhTbmny_-AXjDKxtapCrdI/edit#slide=id.g10d880f76e_0_92

When installing via "docker-compose" the resulting image fails to run with the following error:

There was an error while trying to write to /opt/jekyll/.bundle/config. It is
likely that you need to grant write permissions for that path.

Need to add satellite setup instructions to match what we instruct users to do to subscribe their hosts.

• the --template parameters of the two commands used to grab the Service Account secret to use for auth come up empty, i.e. --template=''. This seems to be a jekyll parsing issue

Configure CloudForms

Install CloudForms

• Need to add a line before "At a minimum, this requires the following steps:" that says that you need to ssh as root/smartvm and then run the 'application_console' command to enter the configuration console
• before we get into the table of possible appliance roles, we should include an easy button for those running all-in-one installs of cloudforms that they can just check all the boxes.

Fresh pull of repo:

RVM used your Gemfile for selecting Ruby, it is all fine - Heroku does that too,
you can ignore these warnings with 'rvm rvmrc warning ignore /home/xxx/openshift-playbooks/Gemfile'.
To ignore the warning for all files run 'rvm rvmrc warning ignore allGemfiles'.
ruby-2.3.0 is not installed.
To install do: 'rvm install ruby-2.3.0'

may need to update README.md

The first sentence under this section reads:

The following table provides an overview of the S2I builder image is required to implement the following scripts

This looks like two sentences crammed together?

Add a reference to the recently released reference architecture on integrating OpenShift with JFrog Artifactory to install guide

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/reference_architectures/2017/html-single/jfrog_artifactory_on_openshift_container_platform/

The command for spinning up the router has changed from 3.1 to 3.2.

Your articles are a great source of information, curious to know if you have anything on kubernetes name-spacing, specifically, naming strategies for creating operational zones, dev/uat/qa, etc.,

Example should match recommendations, using LVs over partitions. In to-be-commited oct-meetup branch.

In this section: http://playbooks-rhtconsulting.rhcloud.com/playbooks/installation/#provision-servers

The ansible test command we run to validate connectivity from the control host to all of our node servers happens before the section where we actually add the hosts to the host groups in our inventory file. This needs to be re-ordered.

Need to put together a build pipeline for the OpenShift v3 deployment.

Under the heading "JBoss EAP Integration" is the following command:

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint=/bin/bash registry.access.redhat.com/jboss-eap-6/eap-openshift

That image name no longer exists and needs updating.

Need to update our doc to not have redundant info

It would be nice if this had some sore of diagram so you can see (logically) how all the servers are laid out. Understanding that each site is "different", however, a simple diagram would look something like

3 masters
2 infra nodes
2 "worker" nodes

Correct?

In the http://playbooks-rhtconsulting.rhcloud.com/playbooks/installation/#authentication section of the install guide, we run an htpasswd command. Running this isn't really necessary as we should the output and it can simply be copied, but for those that want to set different passwords, we should mention in a note that htpasswd comes from the httpd-tools package.

Currently there is no explicit license on the content, which technically means we don;t give anyone permission to use the content in any way. How about cc-by-4.0?

I had one working, but then I saw https://github.com/rhtconsulting/rhc-ose/tree/openshift-enterprise-3/docker/jekyll-asciidoc-docker from @sabre1041 and it is way better. Can we copy his docker folder into this project and update the getting started directions to just use that instead?

There's plenty of documentation around how to aggregate container logs, but no insight into how to gather infrastructure logs.

The main README doc needs a little more explanation about the OpenShift Playbooks, to help the reader get started.

/cc @trevorquinn

See example: https://travis-ci.org/rhtconsulting/openshift-playbooks/builds/133164574

Working on a fix.

Currently what has to be done is take an existing cluster role, such as edit, remove the permissions you wanted to restrict, and then create a new role. This new role could then be applied to users.

We should have a playbook with an example; like disabling oc rsh for instance.

The link on the logging document is currently broken. The reference refers to a path one level higher rather than at the same level as it exists today

The route config won't work as-is because the metrics deployer will have already created a cert with a different hostname. We need to change this to instruct the user to either:

1. re-run the metrics-deployer with the proper HAWKULAR_METRICS_HOSTNAME
2. create a new set of certs using oadm ca and create a re-encrypt route

Creation of a diagram to depict the functionality of ingress routing

Hi,

Was searching for how to integrate Artifactory with OpenShift 3.5 to replace internal Docker registry. Found this link but link is broken,
http://playbooks-rhtconsulting.rhcloud.com/playbooks/operationalizing/external-docker-registry-integration.html

Did some digging and found this; is it applicable to OpenShift 3.5?
