Come join us on IRC in #mgmtconfig on Freenode! You may like the #mgmtconfig hashtag if you're on Twitter.
Please join the #mgmtconfig IRC community! If you have a well phrased question that might benefit others, consider asking it by sending a patch to the documentation FAQ section. I'll merge your question, and a patch with the answer!
- Clone the repository recursively, eg:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/
. - Get the remaining golang dependencies on your own, or run
make deps
if you're comfortable with how we install them. - Run
make build
to get a freshly builtmgmt
binary. - Run
time ./mgmt run --file examples/graph0.yaml --converged-timeout=1
to try out a very simple example! - To run continuously in the default mode of operation, omit the
--converged-timeout
option. - Have fun hacking on our future technology!
Please look in the examples/ folder for more examples!
Please see: DOCUMENTATION.md or PDF.
Please see: TODO.md for a list of upcoming work and TODO items. Please get involved by working on one of these items or by suggesting something else! Feel free to grab one of the straightforward #mgmtlove issues if you're a first time contributor to the project or if you're unsure about what to hack on!
Please set the DEBUG
constant in main.go to true
, and post the logs when you report the issue.
Bonus points if you provide a shell or OMV reproducible test case.
Feel free to read my article on debugging golang programs.
