Offline installation

[ghost]

Hi !

I've just find your project and I'm very glad to find it !
I have a suggestion, maybe, is it possible to you to make installation offline too ?

In some case, I work on intranet and It would be a great feature !

I have another question, but it's not the same subject.
For 2 nodes server, is glusterFS stable ?

Thanks for your work !

Hi there! Thanks for trying out Swarmlet, and excuse my late reply.
Unfortunately it's not possible to install Swarmlet without an internet connection on the host.
We're installing quite some dependencies using apt-get and pip for example, I'm not sure how it would work when you would try to cache/bundle this up.

GlusterFS in itself is stable, but I have to finalize some work before the Gluster volume is shared with new hosts.
I did a large rewrite over the last months, this is something that I hope to finish ASAP 🙂
If you have any more question, don't hesitate to ask or to join our Slack channel!

Thanks for your reply !

I have apt mirrors but no mirror for pip.
Do you think some requirements from pip can be installed with apt ?
For example : django -> python3-django, docker -> python3-docker ?
Or make any settings to change url of repo for apt and pip both ?
Even if apt is very practical.

I follow your work attentively and I thank you again for your work !

I'm not sure, most installation stuff is handled by Ansible now, feel free to play around with the playbooks/tasks around this issue.
This is where we install some packages using pip: https://github.com/swarmlet/swarmlet/blob/master/src/ansible/playbooks/setup.yml

Okay, I saw.
In my case, If I wanted to get work it offline, I will replace :

    - name: install pre-requirements
      apt:
        pkg:
          - acl
          - curl
          - apache2-utils
          - software-properties-common
          - ca-certificates
          - gnupg-agent
          - moreutils
          - wget
          - tree
          - libpcre3
          - xfsprogs
          - btrfs-progs

    - name: install pip
      apt:
        pkg:
          - python-pip
          - python3-pip

    - name: install pip modules
      pip:
        name:
          - netaddr
          - pyvmomi
          - docker
          - requests

by

    - name: install pre-requirements
      apt:
        pkg:
          - acl
          - curl
          - apache2-utils
          - software-properties-common
          - ca-certificates
          - gnupg-agent
          - moreutils
          - wget
          - tree
          - libpcre3
          - xfsprogs
          - btrfs-progs
          - python3-netaddr
          - python3-pyvmomi
          - python3-docker
          - python3-requests

Just try with (Tried on Ubuntu 20.10) :

$ apt search python3 | grep docker
python3-docker/groovy,groovy 4.1.0-1.2 all
  Python 3 wrapper to access docker.io's control socket

Did you see what I try to say ?

I'm trying that because It's more complicated to serve a pip mirror than a apt mirror on my intranet.

@Rwanito could you please try with the develop branch?
