🔮[RFC #0010]: Design Draft for OpenIM Configuration Discussion

[cubxxw]

Task List

1. Configuration File Splitting

• Description: Split the existing configuration file into multiple smaller files for more flexible management and maintenance of configurations.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Analyze the current structure and content of the configuration file.
  • Determine criteria for splitting (e.g., by service, functionality).
  • Implement the splitting of the configuration file.
  • Test to ensure the split configuration files work correctly.

2. Environment Variable Optimization

• Description: Clean up and optimize the setting of environment variables, removing those no longer used to ensure clarity and security of configurations.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Review the current list of environment variables, marking those no longer in use.
  • Remove marked environment variables.
  • Update documentation listing all environment variables and their purposes.

3. Code Adjustments and Modifications

• Description: Adjust related code to accommodate changes in configuration file splitting and environment variable optimization.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Update the configuration loading logic in the code based on the results of the configuration file splitting.
  • Update references and logic for handling environment variables.
  • Conduct unit testing for modified parts.

4. .env Environment Variables Redesign

• Description: Redesign the .env file for Docker environments to support the new configuration and environment variable strategy.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Design the new structure for the .env file.
  • Implement and test the new environment variable loading logic.
  • Update Docker-related documentation.

5. OpenIM Docker Design

• Description: Design and implement Docker containers and configurations for OpenIM, optimizing containerized deployment.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Review and optimize the existing Dockerfile.
  • Design Docker container structures suitable for split configuration files.
  • Write and test Docker Compose scripts.

6. Source Code Deployment Script Optimization

• Description: Optimize the source code deployment script to support the new configuration strategy and simplify the deployment process.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Analyze and refactor the existing deployment script.
  • Implement a new script supporting configuration file splitting and automated deployment.
  • Test and verify the effectiveness of the script.

7. Automation Design: Configuration Optimization and Improvement

• Description: Design and implement an automation system for managing and applying configuration changes.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Research available tools for configuration management and automation.
  • Design the automation process, including configuration changes, review, and deployment.
  • Implement and test the automation system.

8. Kubernetes Configuration File Redesign

• Description: Redesign configuration files for the Kubernetes environment to accommodate split configurations and enhance configuration flexibility.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Analyze the current Kubernetes configuration files.
  • Design a new configuration file structure supporting configuration file splitting.
  • Implement and test the new configuration files.

9. Documentation Rewrite and Organization

• Description: Rewrite and update documentation to reflect all changes, ensuring the documentation reflects the latest configuration and deployment methods.
• Sub-tasks:
  • Review existing documentation to identify parts that need updates.
