To discover tools in the devops landscape.

There are new incredible tools and frameworks being released everyday. This is an open and transparent attempt at aggregating all these tools and frameworks.

Deployment Status

Legacy travis-ci builds.

Contributing

Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md

Development

• Have a working docker setup and this repository clone
• docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/workspace -p 8080:8080 -w /workspace node:18 bash
• Running npm run-script build and then npm start
• Look at the results in your browser: open http://localhost:8080/

Maintenance

This project has been alive and keeping for a while now (first commit in 2014), but it has gone through a period of neglect. The aim now is do a seasonal update which may include things like:

• bump dependencies
• force a redeploy is there's nothing to do
• find an opportunity to remove something
• go through neglected issues and pull requests

devopsbookmarks.com's Issues

C++ selection fails

http://www.devopsbookmarks.com/+c++ shows C tools instead.

Move build/deploy pipeline off of snap-ci

replace or add icons with font awesome

Either we need to update font awesome or we need to source icons from multiple locations. There aren't any icons for BSD or Solaris. Nor are the icons for all the programming languages. It might look inconsistent if we take icons from many different locations.

Topic/Tag to consider: Test Frameworks

Hi!

Love this idea! Curious if you'd be interested in including testing frameworks?

For example:

[{
  "name": "Test Frameworks",
  "slug": "testing",
  "include_tags": [ "testing" ]
}

Cheers!

add smoke test of running application

Issue #67 cause the app to not start up. The JSON was valid, but it wasn't contained in an array so the app broke at startup complaining that .forEach didn't exist on the object.

Toggle menu in small screens

Toggle menu on/off in small devices

Any reason you don't have configuration management as a category?

There are a couple tools listed in "provisioning" that really are more for CM. I know, PR's welcome :)

Just wanted to see if there was a philosophical reason that category was missing.

SEO

URLs are SEOd right now, but just keeping track of all other things SEO related in this story.

• meta title/description/keywords should have proper values
• make sure we freeze our URLs, changing them later would have seo costs
• add proper robots.txt, humans.txt and other stuff
• cross-verify with google web starter kit

New section: Infrastructure testing tools

Hi,

How about a new section for infrastructure testing tools. Few tools that already come to mind:

• ChefSpec
• TerraTest

Tag tools in Provisioning and Config Mgmt

Following up from #27, we have added a Config Mgmt topic, and we need to re-tag some tools from provisioning to config mgmt.

auto reload code in vagrant during development

Feature: Add and browse articles

As a consumer of the catalog
I want to see devops articles
So that I better understand what devops is about

simplify tagging

right now we have fixed categories, idea is to make tagging more flexible.

• tags for tools must be flexible
• licenses/OS - may have separate properties for these instead of mixing these in with the tags

Installation Documentation

I know this isn't really the use-case for this repository but is there any chance of getting some better installation instructions for it? I think it would neat to self-host one with not only pure dev-ops things but also other more general things like nosql databases, code snippets, and things like that.

Trouble is, I'm no nojejs master. I download it, install the nodejs plugins, run "node server.js", and I can see a white page with text, but totally devoid of any stylesheets. Hours of messing around later I finally spot the script/server file and realise I need to use grunt instead. Just a paragraph somewhere would be good.

Policy for Removals - (Gitorious)

Gitorious, listed on devopsbookmarks here, has been bought by and merged into GitLab, what's the process when a tool disappears (or in this case, gets merged into another tool?)

Do we just take it down?

proper favicon

how we design one is a different problem altogether :) but having a favicon would help. right now its using html5boilerplate's favicons

remove jade dependency

it's a small site, no need for the extra layer of abstraction

FnordMetric is 404ing

Seems to cease to exist

filters not working in vagrant

Run vagrant up and visit localhost:3000, the filters in the left hand side don't work.

Create a mission statement

As a contributor
I want a mission statement
So that it can guide my contributions to the website

I personally think that this website can escalate to me too many things for too many people. Want to think about how to keep it simple

Internal error exploring tags

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's here right place to report this bug, if not, I'm sorry!

When I try to navigate through tags (except meta tags which are external links) in https://www.devopsbookmarks.com/, all of theme returns Internal server error.

Regards!

RFC: Replace topics with behaviours

I blogged about the concerns I have about this website. Not only should this be a place of discovery but a place that reinforces the core concepts of devops. A list of tools dilutes it, in my humble opinion.

Some ideas around behaviours are:

• Infrastructure as Code (eg: chef, ansible, terraform, vagrant)
• Data Informed Decisions (graphite)
• Situational Awareness (logstash, kibana, nagios)
• Knowledge Sharing (apiary, asciidoc)

I keep on going back to CAMS (Culture, Automation, Metrics, and Sharing) as the core components of devops. The way the topics are listed now, they are too implementation specific.

Essentially, what's driving me crazy is that I know there's more to devops than a list of tools. As I see it now, this website does a good job of displaying some tools. It doesn't explain why these are devops tools nor what it means to be a devops tool.

Any plan to include Web Frameworks?

Thinking Django, Flask etc, they seem to pop up at an incredible rate so cataloguing them would be useful, could categorise if they support async, what language they're based on etc

ordering display of tools

objective: make sure every tool gets a fair opportunity to be displayed to the visitors

some suggestions:

• random order?
• provide ordering options?

vagrant up fails using Windows 7

Lots of lines similar to:

npm ERR! error rolling back Error: UNKNOWN, unlink '/vagrant/node_modules/grunt-sass/node_modules/node-sass/bin/darwin-x64-v8-3.14/binding.node'
npm ERR! error rolling back [email protected] { [Error: UNKNOWN, unlink '/vagrant/node_modules/grunt-sass/node_modules/node-sass/bin/darwin-x64-v8-3.14/binding.node']

in log/express.log

So problem seems related to:
npm install
in
script/server

Already resolved this by:

1. Adding --no-bin-links to the npm install command
2. Upgrading the second provisioning shell script to run as root

Then finally forcing bower to use https for github not git://
3. git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Pull request to follow

Topic "Bug tracking"

I suggest adding the topic "Bug tracking".

RSS

Hide Platform/License filters until a Topic is selected

We don't believe someone would want to see "Every Linux tool" yet...

js lint the data

• ensure that malformed js does not get deployed
• provide a report of tools which are not inside a topic/tag
• integrate with pull requests (using travis ci or something)

Typo in CONTRIBUTING.md

In the last line, there is an extra 'p' which seems like a typo if not intended to be an emoji.

Ansible also supports Windows and OSX

The Windows and OSX flags for Ansible are greyed out, but it does support both platforms.

homepage design

• display text explaining purpose of website
• display random tool
• Deferred: display "recently added", "recently updated" or something of that sort (these may be separate stories in the future as well)

Deployments are broken

SnapCI has been breaking deploys since August. Not sure what changed with Heroku, but assuming that we need to change something to fix the deploy.

Ingest content from devops-toolchain wiki

There's a good collection of content at:
https://code.google.com/p/devops-toolchain/w/list

Question is whether or not this website should simply redirect to that wiki and use that instead.

Content addition and review process

As a content creator
I want to know how to add content
So that my interesting findings can be listed

Whats next?

Opening an issue to find out what people would like to see in the next big release of devopsbookmarks.com. I'd definitely want more discoverability - like "Recently Added", "Recently Updated", etc :) Let's have a poll!

tagging @scottmuc 👍

Topic/Tag to consider: Auditing

Maybe as an extension of logging/monitoring

Add filter by language?

Apologies if this is not the right place for suggestions. After browsing the content on the site, I noticed I found myself wondering if a filter by language would be of use. I know of many shops that want to bring in devops tools with the same languages used by developers.

If it's as simple as adding to data/topics.json and the appropriate language to each tool, I'm happy to take that on!

caching

• ensure http caching (md5, expires never) is used for static assets
• optionally use caching (static file, if-modified-since, etag) for responses

codefresh is not included in devops section

codefresh was search, but does not seem to be included. codefresh is a CD tool.

Resolve how .Net should be tagged

The current configuration has .Net tagged as "net". Since .Net isn't a language, it may be more appropriate to have a tag "clr". Then again, for most .Net stuff, that implies C# or VB.Net the majority of the time.

Alternatives could be "dotnet", "dot-net", and then extend them with versions like "dot-net35". I'm not sure, because that seems like it would be tedious.

I assume that the use case would be someone wanting to find a tool that works in the .Net eco system so being to specific might make discoverability worse.
