Description

Motivation

A clean installation and configuration of openQA takes a lot of effort and time. Even more the first time you do. As a developer who wants to reproduce the bug identified by openQA or want to get started writing new tests as a QA engineer, to get this up and running without investing to much time for the configuration.

openQA is not maintained for openSUSE Leap. And there is no proper version scheme for Tumbleweed. EDIT: 2019-12-13 (okurz): There is a stable openQA version within Leap and there are periodic submissions to Tumbleweed.

The last stable version can be found only on the devel repository in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:openQA/openQA

Internal deployments of openQA into openqa.opensuse.org and openqa.suse.de are not based on releases from devel:openQA. But, they can be found here: https://wiki.suse.net/index.php?title=OpenQA/Production_Deployment_Schedule done periodically on a daily/weekly schedule.

For QA, the need of local openQA instances brings the need of having an easy way of installing, configuring and deploy with a proper version scheme.
This ticket proposed to achieve it using docker containers. For that, a proper docker image for the webui and for the workers needs to be done.

If you don't mind can you avoid the word "docker" and keep it generic, e.g. as containers :)

Not sure I understand what you mean there. #18006 describes the details of what I would consider a "stable, properly versioned" version of openQA which are in openSUSE Tumbleweed whenever openQA-in-openQA tests pass. What that be sufficient?

#5 Updated by SLindoMansilla over 4 years ago

okurz, the openQA-in-openQA tests doesn't cover a complete use case. It is not enough and this is one of the problems we have when people update to a "broken" openQA version.

About docker, well we are creating docker images, so, why confusing people by using a general term?

My point is not that the openQA-in-openQA tests will fix all your problems but rather: More tests are better than less. I would not call the version in "devel:openQA" "last stable version", you did :)

As we are talking about containers that are already maintained within the openQA upstream repo I think it fits better in the according issue tracker. Also, currently out of scope for QSF-u.

Just info: Andrii told me about his solution to launch openQA in a non-intrusive way and without needing root: https://github.com/andrii-suse/environs/tree/master/.product/qa/branch
