git backend for loading/storing the configuration XML for wildfly ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-433 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-433 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Domain Management Reporter: James Strachan Assignee: Jason Greene when working with wildfly in a cloud/paas environment (like openshift, fabric8, docker, heroku et al) it'd be great to have a git repository for the configuration folder so that writes work something like: * git pull * write the, say, standalone.xml file * git commit -a -m "some comment" * git push (with a handler to deal with conflicts; such as last write wins). Then an optional periodic 'git pull' and reload configuration if there is a change. This would then mean that folks could use a number of wildfly containers using docker / openshift / fabric8 and then have a shared git repository (e.g. the git repo in openshift or fabric8) to configure a group of wildfly containers. Folks could then reuse the wildfly management console within cloud environments (as the management console would, under the covers, be loading/saving from/to git) Folks could then benefit from git tooling when dealing with versioning and audit logs of changes to the XML; along with getting the benefit of branching, tagging.
