Issues, whether bugs, tasks, or feature requests are essential for keeping goldilocks great. We believe it should be as easy as possible to contribute changes that get things working in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can keep on top of things.
This project adheres to a code of conduct. Please review this document before contributing to this project.
Before you can contribute, you will need to sign the Contributor License Agreement.
Goldilocks can run in 3 modes. There is a CLI that allows the manipulation of VPA objects, a dashboard, and a controller that runs in-cluster and manages VPA objects based on namespace labels. The CLI uses the cobra package and the commands are in the cmd
folder.
We label issues with the "good first issue" tag if we believe they'll be a good starting point for new contributors. If you're interested in working on an issue, please start a conversation on that issue, and we can help answer any questions as they come up.
This repo contains a pre-commit file for use with pre-commit. Just run pre-commit install
and you will have the hooks.
Make sure you have the following installed:
- kind 0.4.0 or higher
- reckoner v1.4.0 or higher
- helm 2.13.1 or higher
- git
- kubectl
Go into the /hack/kind directory and run ./setup.sh
This will create a kind cluster, place a demo app, install VPA, and install the latest goldilocks. You can run your local development against this cluster.
Prerequisites:
- A properly configured Golang environment with Go 1.11 or higher
- If you want to see the local changes you make on a dashboard, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster defined in
~/.kube/config
or the KUBECONFIG variable. - The vertical pod autoscaler will need to be installed in the cluster.
- Install the project with
go get github.com/fairwindsops/goldilocks
- Change into the goldilocks directory which is installed at
$GOPATH/src/github.com/fairwindsops/goldilocks
- Use
make tidy
ormake build
to ensure all dependencies are downloaded. - See the dashboard with
go run main.go dashboard
, then open http://localhost:8080/. This assumes that you have a working KUBECONFIG in place with access to a cluster.
If you've encountered an issue that is not already reported, please create an issue that contains the following:
- Clear description of the issue
