[Fiware-webui] Creating Blueprints: WebUI Recipes in FI-Lab

[Torsten Spieldenner]

Hello,

I have spent yesterday with figuring out how to create the bundle 
blueprint in FI-LAB. At this point, all GE's that are needed are in 
place in my FI-Lab-Project. These are one POI-Data-Provider Instance 
that I installed from the Image that is available in the Lab. Second is 
an instance of GIS data provider that I set up manually, following the 
step-by-step instructions in the installation guide, based on the 
Ubuntu14.04 Image from FI-Lab. Third one hosts the 3D-UI-XML3D client 
that runs Stefans GIS/POI Demo which he also showed at ECFI. This one in 
addition has Stefans 3D-Map-Tiles provider installed, which is a 
FI-Content SE that provides a nice frontend for the 3D maps to the 
3D-UI-XML3D client.

Now when I tried to create a blueprint, I had to find out that when it 
comes to select which software should be installed on the different VMs 
of the blueprint, the only possibility is to select from a very limited 
set of what seems to be recipes that have found their way to  the 
catalogue. In this list "software in catalogue", I could identify only 
two GE from our group, which are augmentedreality 3.3.3 and poi_dp 3.3.3

So in summary, there are two points which are still unclear to me:

1) How to get specific demo client software into the bundles
2) Where to find our remaining GE other than AR and POI DP

In general, I would suggest we check again if - and if yes,  where - our 
recipes got stuck on their way to the catalogue. For example, if 
feedback concerning recipes is pending, or if feedback was ok, but the 
software just does not appear in the list. I myself have filed an issue 
about the delayed XML3D recipe approval in JIRA in the Lab-Tracker with 
GEi Deployment - Component, like Manuel explained yesterday. So my 
suggestion would be to file an issue for each recipe for which feedback 
is still pending, or for which feedback was positive but that does not 
appear in the Lab yet. As soon as the recipes are available, we can at 
least create Blueprint-Templates that install the set of GE via recipe.

Moreover, I am going to find out whether we can already start to create 
the catalogue entries for the bundles while we are waiting for our 
software to become available. Maybe one way to provide the demo client 
could be to give a manual installation guideline in the bundle 
documentation, and skip automatic install for the client.

Best,
Torsten
