Support for external applications to satisfy dependencies

Open dustymabe opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

If a user wants to use an externally provided database, such as one set up by their IT or a hosted solution such as a cloud service offered by AWS, then we should enable them to plug that information in. This would involve not starting the related container and passing the endpoint/credentials information into the other containers appropriately.

This should be a generalized pattern a la OpenShift https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.0/dev_guide/integrating_external_services.html#external-saas-provider

Thanks for the link. I guess what we need to figure out how to do is allow for the pieces of the Nulecule application be specified by the user as external and generate the appropriate json/yaml accordingly.

I would be very happy with that approach, maybe an external service is a requirement?
