Simplify Management of Climsoft Docker Containers with a Dedicated Application

[Patowhiz]

Current Situation

Currently, Climsoft Docker containers can only be installed and monitored using Docker commands or Docker Desktop on specific OS platforms. This reliance means that Climsoft managers without knowledge of Docker are dependent on the Docker Compose file provided by the Climsoft team.

Proposed Solution

Develop a user-friendly application that allows Climsoft administrators to:

1. Install and Manage Deployments:

   • Simplify the installation process for Climsoft web deployments (database, API, and web application).
   • Automatically execute the necessary Docker commands to start or stop containers.

2. Monitor Containers:

   • Provide tools to view and analyze container logs.
   • Enable performance monitoring for the running containers.

3. OS-Specific Scripts:

   • Ensure the application can handle OS-specific requirements by executing tailored scripts for the installation of Climsoft official images.

Application Features

• Front-End Interface: A graphical interface for:
  • Installing, configuring, managing, and monitoring Climsoft Docker containers.
  • Reducing the dependency on CLI tools or Docker Desktop.
• Automated Setup: Seamlessly execute scripts for first-time installation and configuration.
• Log and Performance Monitoring: Provide visibility into the health and status of containers.

Benefits

• Streamlined deployment and management process.
• Reduced dependency on technical knowledge of Docker commands.
• Increased accessibility for Climsoft managers.

Next Steps

Evaluate the feasibility of this application, define detailed requirements, and determine an appropriate tech stack for development.
