Description

fedora-packages-static is a simpler, statically generated version of the old Fedora Packages app.

How it works

packages-static is a collection of Python scripts that pulls repository metadata and compiles that into statically generated HTML files. It has a Docker container that runs packages-static every week and serves files via nginx. Because of this approach, packages search is handled by an external service such as Apache Solr or elasticsearch.

Example

Currently, I have a prototype container with searching handled by Solr and search results returned by a small uwsgi script.

Is it possible to have one pod secure a write mount to a volume and have multiple read-only mounts for load-balancing? I've looked at the openshift docs and it seems impossible.

Benefit to Fedora

• Provides current and prospective users easy access to package information
• Some users have noticed that old packages went down
• Having Solr provides the framework for in-house docs.fp.o search, which is wanted by #6750
