      1. Data mapping should be avoided, with preference for tools

  2. Okapi dependencies for deployment

    1. Speeding up okapi pull (disabled dependency checking when loading module descriptors)

    2. Includes launch descriptors: don’t need to post deployment descriptor anymore

      1. Okapi will launch using module descriptors it has access to

    3. TAMU request easier okapi to tell you what modules you need to support front end

      1. DNS based service discovery (based on URL) to point to load balance service

    4. Comments: Stephen P.: needs more time for testing (future item)

      1. Wayne: mod permissions bug yesterday will require him to update documentation

      2. C Creswell: Deployment w/o Okapi: multiple nodes deployment database location finding?

        1. Env variables set in container, should be able to locate DB

        2. Command line launch config or using config file for DB

        3. Roml module builder is lengthy but useful

          1. Notes encrypt credentials

          2. Look for Github roml/module/builder/read.m

45 minContinue discussion of local install experiences

  1. Local install concerns

    1. C. Creswell: https single node install broken (second from TAMU)

      1. Stripes hard coded http assumptions may exist

      2. Wayne will attempt to reproduce based on use case, and create Jira bug

        1. Email use case to Wayne

        2. Okapi not served on port 80 may hang

      3. Certificate config?

        1. Development team didn’t intend for anything but reverse proxied, but even this broke behind nginx as http backend (Cresewell)

          1. There is no stripes application on the backend, this should cause a mixed http https error

        2. Stephen tried 301 redirect

      4. Wayne will build broken vagrant box as a recreation env, give to devs
