Status of the project, still maintained ?

[philpep]

Hi, I'm considering using this project since this is the only kubernetes database operator I known allowing to connect to an external postgresql database (not running on kubernetes).

The latest commit in this repository is quite old, in the meantime I see https://github.com/kubehippie/database-operator which look like a rewrite, but not very active since.

I wonder what's the status of this project ? If it's unmaintained, did you known an alternative ? If you need help maintaining this project, I can help. I may start writting PR to update the project to latest dependencies, use go modules or enhance the documentation.

Thanks ! o/

Would interest me as well - anyone with some good ideas on this use case ? (Managing external DBaaS via Kubernetes CRDs) Or doesn’t this make sense ? Chris

@marctc @unixwitch Can you comment here? If you are no longer able to maintain would you be open to adding additional maintainers as @philpep asked previously? Thank you!

Thanks , if someone else comes here - I found in the meanwhile alternatives at least for MySQL and oracle , see in the list here :https://github.com/operator-framework/awesome-operators

Hey, I'm not longer maintaining this project. I happy to add contributors here or just transfer the repo if you want.

@chrisbulgaria Based on the descriptions in the link you provided those all MySQL operators: solutions for deploying and operating MySQL ON Kubernetes; not interacting with an external MySQL cluster (outside Kubernetes). Am I missing something? Do some of these support external clusters?

@marctc Are you okay transferring it to a single person like myself or would you like to use the kubehippie GitHub organization or create a new organization and grant access that way so that you can maintain administrative access/ownership of the project?

[marctc]

I created an organization for unmaintained projects, like https://jazzband.co/ but for kubernetes. Let me know who needs access to the org.

Which one is an alternative? oracle/mysql-operator, grtl/mysql-operator and probably all the following ones create a db-cluster. This is great, but not the same as here. (Can be used in combination to create a cluster and have several databases on it.) Maybe kloeckner-i/db-operator?
