Hi, I’m currently trying to set up a development environment of the NTP Pool. My aim is to have a working copy running on my infrastructure to play around with, and to eventually be able to make and test changes of the Pool code.
However, I have not found any current information about how to set up all this. I have found out that the install instructions linked in the git readme are outdated and that the pool is now running on Kubernetes, and I found the helm charts. Is there a manual somewhere documenting if there is anything else I need and how to set up and configure this all? And ideally what I need to do to make my own changes in the system? And how all the repositories are connected?
hi @Sebhoster – yes, it’s likely a bunch of things are out of date! It’s rare that anyone else have setup an instance, so there are a bunch of things not explicitly documented (the configuration repositories are private). It’d be great to have that improved.
I’ll send you a DM and see how we can get you started and maybe we can get some of the instructions improved. You are right about everything running in Kubernetes now. For a while it was possible to run things just in docker, but not anymore.
I think it would be great if we could make this sort of thing more accessible to pool participants. The pool is a resource that a lot of people rely on, and I think we need to work on making knowledge about its workings more public, and its process more open.
Hi everyone, thanks for the responses and @ask for the DM. I’m a bit short on free time until April, but once I get started setting stuff up I will try to document the entire process as I go to make it easier for the next person trying this.
