Host OpenStack Apps Catalog Service¶
https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2000272
Host the http://apps.openstack.org/ OpenStack Apps Catalog Service within the community-managed project infrastructure.
Problem Description¶
The http://apps.openstack.org/ OpenStack Apps Catalog Service was set up in a hurry for announcement during a the Liberty Summit keynote presentation, and due to time constraints was done outside our project infrastructure. This is an unfortunate situation and should be rectified as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing mischaracterizations of the site’s current hosting status.
Proposed Change¶
The OpenStack Apps Catalog Service is a very basic, static Web application for now. It will need a small VM with a puppet module to continuously deploy the stackforge/apps-catalog Git repository and configure Apache to serve it.
Alternatives¶
We could leave it as is or ask someone else to host it on OpenStack’s behalf, but these are unacceptable for long-term maintainability within the community.

Gerrit Topic¶
Use Gerrit topic “apps-site” for all patches related to this spec.
git-review -t apps-site
Work Items¶
An apps_site puppet module will need to be created, some glue for it should be added to openstack-infra/system config, and then it will need to be applied to a new apps.openstack.org server.
Repositories¶
An openstack-infra/puppet-apps_site repo will be created as part of this effort.
Servers¶
An apps.openstack.org server will need to be created, no other existing servers should need to be modified.
DNS Entries¶
The apps.openstack.org A and AAAA resource records will need to be updated to the IP addresses of the new server.
Documentation¶
The system-config services documentation will be updated with a summary of the OpenStack Apps Catalog Service.
Security¶
The OpenStack Apps Catalog Service currently consists of static content driven from a Git repository. It is being provisioned onto a dedicated system with the expectation that it may later grow an interactive API without risking the security posture of other sites hosted from the same server.
Testing¶
The existing puppet apply/integration jobs will suffice.
