I'm working on an OFBiz helm chart for kubernetes

[Eugen Stan]

Hello,

NOTE: I previously sent this email from an un-subscribed email address,
please ignore that one.

I'm working on a Helm chart for OFBiz
https://github.com/ieugen/charts/tree/main/ofbiz .

The goal is to have OFBiz running in Kubernetes.

Right now it's a rough start: it starts OFBiz with Derby and that's
about it.

I'll keep pushing updates as soon as I have them.

I'm interested in your feedback.
If you plan on testing it and using it let me know.
I do accept and encourage collaboration.

If this is interesting I might push it upstream but it uses the binary
build of OFBiz in Docker.


I'm using docker images built from trunk on jdk-11.
There are amd64 and arm64 (Raspberry PI4) images.

Some issues that need solving are the many configuration files that
OFBiz has.

This details creates a lot of configuration when deploying in Docker /
Kubernetes as they need to be mounted in a volume with many entries or
multiple volumes.

There are many potential solutions to this but it boils down to:
* It would be nice to load max 1-2 or 3 configuration file with multiple
sections instead of the currently many configs split over the code base.
* It would be nice to support configuration (overwrite) via ENV vars for
some things like DB connection.


Regards.
Eugen
