Is rigger ready for use?
Hi,
not really an issue, although it could be as master bug to keep track of outstanding issues.
I've tried to use rigger a few weeks ago (just after DigitalOcean support was merged). In the end it failed to bring up a working cluster. Although I suspect this might have been more an issue with the state of deis at that time. Anyhow for the upcoming deis release I want to use rigger to setup a new cluster (to replace my rather old existing cluster), and I am wondering if its worth setting it up with rigger or if that is currently going to be more hassle than just setting one up from scratch... (which I already have done quite few times now...)
I've looked at the outstanding issues, and they look more as nices to have, and not anything that would prevent me from using it, but maybe there are some under the radar known problems?
It is being used by contributors and maintainers with mixed success, but mainly for the use of quick development cluster spin-ups and test runs. :smile:
Depending on what type of Deis cluster you want to bring up, rigger may or may not be the right choice. It's a good choice for spinning up dev or test clusters (for individuals), but I can't recommend it for deployments of deis for staging or production... yet.
I'd love to learn more about what didn't work for you back when rigger + DO support was introduced. We're about to release Deis 1.11.0 and a corresponding rigger... maybe that would be a good time to give it another go and then we could chat about that experience?
