OFBiz Community Days - November 2020
Hello all,
We are back with OFBiz Community Days, hope you are excited too! :-)
The community days are organized once per quarter so a total of four(4)
events throughout the year.
We are having a sequence of 5 days that form the Community Days. This
extends the time frame and gives people more flexibility to contribute.
So, this month our Community Days will be from *27th November – 1st
December 2020*.
If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look at
the following wiki pages:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+Dates
This is such an event where anyone can participate (and we would like to
encourage as many people as possible to do so)
If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on
then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to do
it. (Even an hour will help!)
Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are
also a chance to collaborate with others in the community.
Our Community Days are not only coding related, but we would also like to
do some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation.
*Testing, Review and Committing Patches*
Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributors
from the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but
before committing them we need to test to them.
Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not
tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a
large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for
test, review and commit.
*Documentation*
We know that our current documentation could be a whole lot better so any
contribution that helps us improve it is welcome.
*Jira Sprint*
I will create a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (November 2020)" so please
add any Jira tasks when you are working on it.
This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the
Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the sprint field.
We should add the Sprint in all the cases:
1.) If we create a ticket we should add it.
2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it
after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.
Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from 27th November – 1st December.
At the end of November's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 1st December, this
will help us in reporting.
*OFBiz Slack Channel*
If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available
all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our
Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below:
https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel
To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack
account using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite> and join
the *#ofbiz channel*. <https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel> Please do
*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.
Let's all collaborate to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

That's great!
I hope to contribute when I'm ready. Still have a lot to pick up.
Likely will focus on Warehouse and Inventory Management because I'm working on this so hope to share when I know well.
Cheers
Phoon

Hi Daniel
This github repo is to setup dev environment with MySQL and PostgreSQL
databases.
For production we need to create a bind mount for content, images and logs
directories when creating docker image.
Whenever I get a chance will create and push OFBiz Trunk docker image to
the docker hub with external database support (MySQL and PostgreSQL) and
also share Dockerfile for reference.

Hi Sandeep and the folks at Hot Wax,
A while back you gave a video presentation regarding Ofbiz in production
and spoke about building docker images. I found your repo here -
https://github.com/sandeepkose/OFBiz-Docker
Have there been any further thoughts for creating docker images for ofbiz?
Any particular problems/requirements for production usage that Hot Wax have
found?
Thanks,
Dan.

Re: ofbiz account on hub.docker.com was: OFBiz Community Days -
November 2020
Posted by Daniel Watford <da...@foomoo.co.uk>.
Hi Hans,
It would be great to get images pushed to docker hub.
I imagine in the first instance we can get regular trunk builds pushed,
using Derby with demo data loaded. This would make local testing a bit
easier for interested parties.
Next I would like to see specialised docker images with various database
drivers already loaded (assuming there are no license issues with
distribution) along with docker-compose configurations to couple an ofbiz
instance with a DBMS.
The docker-compose configurations might include a method of bind mounting
in configuration files and template directories so that users will have an
upgrade path without losing any local configuration and customisations
(e.g. invoice templates). We would need to consider backup and restore
mechanisms too. I would also suggest using a reverse-proxy, such as
Traefik, to handle HTTPS and certificate renewal with Lets Encrypt. I'm not
sure where we would store these configurations, though. Perhaps in a tools
sub-folder on the ofbiz-framework repo?
Eugen mentioned Kubernetes. I haven't worked with Kubernetes but understand
that it can handle the networking aspects such as HTTPS and reverse-proxy
for us out of the box, so might be worth considering over docker-compose. I
imagine tool choice will depend on the community's experience. If
Kubernetes is considered a progression from compose, perhaps we could start
with docker-compose and move on from there in the future.
I would expect creating and publishing of images to be driven by the same
process as regular releases. I assume this is driven by
ofbiz's continuous integration infrastructure so I'd need a better
understanding of how that all works to be able to better contribute.
I'm not a PMC member, so probably better not to hand the docker hub
credentials to me at the moment. I'd expect the CI infrastructure to be
able to store secrets for use by the docker image publication process, so
perhaps better to store credentials there for now.
Thanks,
Dan.

Hi Daniel,
I started a similar activity about 3 years ago and created and used the
ofbiz account on hub.docker.com.
if you are ready to start an official ofbiz image there, i can hand over
the account to you or anybody within the PMC,

Re: OFBiz Community Days - November 2020
Posted by Devanshu Vyas <vy...@gmail.com>.
Hello all,
A big thank so much to everyone who participated in the OFBiz community day.
Every contribution matters!
We'd also like anyone who participated to complete a brief survey. This
will help us gather some feedback and information about how we can improve
future Community Days.
Please feel this short survey, (There are only 9 questions so it really
won't take much time)
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2DZHC2M
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: Please only complete the survey if you actually
participated in Community Day.
The survey will be open until *December 15th, 2020.* and I will document
the results on the Wiki and publish it on the mailing list.
P.S. We have closed the "OFBiz Community Day (November 2020)" Jira sprint.
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.

Re: OFBiz Community Days - November 2020
Posted by Daniel Watford <da...@foomoo.co.uk>.
Hi Eugen,
I'm very interested in running Ofbiz in Docker and have a few experiments
underway.
Please see a recent message on the dev mailing list with a branch to
builder docker images -
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r40fd679818a37e113b469add51755b1097a2b02d3961e71a2cfe928d%40%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E
The approach in the branch referred to in above mailing list thread is to
build the currently checked out workspace. This has been particularly
useful for me when testing.
Also check out https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10407 where
approaches making use of a Dockerfile where ofbiz sources are retrieved
from the repo as part of the docker build process.
I prefer the approach of building the currently checked out environment -
but I'm biased :)
Also see this docker-compose configuration which builds a docker image to
operate alongside a Postgres database. -
https://github.com/danwatford/docker-postgres-ofbiz
To move this forward I think we need the ofbiz committers to signal a
preferred direction and then we can collectively focus on that and get
closer to publishing some official images.
Cheers,
Dan.

Hi,
I would like to joint he OFBiz Community days and focus on two things:
- How to deploy OFBiz with Docker / Kubernetes - build a Helm chart if
there is none available
- Setup OFBiz in Romanian language - and document the steps on my website.
I would love help feedback on the above.
My plan is to work on his for this week.
Who else is interested in the above topics?

At least I cannot successfully open an account on Slack. When I selected "Access with Google" as offered on the screen, I was asked if I would allow to provide access to my data to Slack and after I answered yes, I was presented with a drop-down list with all my email addresses to choose from.

Good morning Georg,
there are several people on the #ofbiz Slack channel with mail addresses
other than @apache.org so this should work.
What makes you think that Slack will read all your email contacts then?
I am pretty sure that this can be switched off for data protection reasons.
Best regards,

Devanshu,
I tried to get an account with Slack to join the room as you mentioned.
However, I can only create an account with an email address that ends with
@apache.org. When I try to get an account with Google instead, it apparently
reads all my email addresses from my PC. But following that I cannot use one
of these because I have no @apache.org email address.

Subject: OFBiz Community Days - November 2020
Hello all,
We are back with OFBiz Community Days, hope you are excited too! :-)
The community days are organized once per quarter so a total of four(4)
events throughout the year.
We are having a sequence of 5 days that form the Community Days. This
extends the time frame and gives people more flexibility to contribute.
So, this month our Community Days will be from *27th November – 1st
December 2020*.
If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look at
the following wiki pages:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+Dates
This is such an event where anyone can participate (and we would like to
encourage as many people as possible to do so)
If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on
then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to do
it. (Even an hour will help!)
Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are
also a chance to collaborate with others in the community.
Our Community Days are not only coding related, but we would also like to
do some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation.
*Testing, Review and Committing Patches*
Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributors
from the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but
before committing them we need to test to them.
Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not
tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a
large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for
test, review and commit.
*Documentation*
We know that our current documentation could be a whole lot better so any
contribution that helps us improve it is welcome.
*Jira Sprint*
I will create a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (November 2020)" so please
add any Jira tasks when you are working on it.
This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the
Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the sprint field.
We should add the Sprint in all the cases:
1.) If we create a ticket we should add it.
2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it
after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.
Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from 27th November – 1st December.
At the end of November's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 1st December, this
will help us in reporting.
*OFBiz Slack Channel*
If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available
all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our
Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below:
https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel
To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack
account using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite> and join
the *#ofbiz channel*. <https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel> Please do
*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.
Let's all collaborate to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.
