Products

This section is for supported 3rd party product deployments into Orabuntu-LXC containers.  For example, some currently supported products are
  • Oracle Database
  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure
  • BlackBerry Workspaces
There is also a product called "no-product" which just deploys vanilla LXC containers which an later be customized manually.

Third-party products are deployed in Orabuntu-LXC by configuring the deployment script to select the desired product.  Orabuntu-LXC then builds a gold-copy LXC container with all the product-specific prerequisites for the chosen 3rd party product, and then replicates the gold-copy LXC container to a user-selected number of replicas.  Once the LXC containers are deployed, the 3rd party software distribution is downloaded and installed in the usual way from the 3rd party supplier.

For Administrators, the "products" subdirectory of Orabuntu-LXC is where products to be deployed are chosen.
  • Currently, only the deployment of a single product is possible during an Orabuntu-LXC run.
  • Adding the ability to deploy multiple products during a single Orabuntu-LXC deployment run is on the roadmap.
For Developers, the "products" subdirectory of Orabuntu-LXC is where new products are added by creating three files:
  • A tar archive of files to be deployed by Orabuntu-LXC
  • A tar manifest for creating the tar archive
  • A shell script to complete prerequisites for that product
