Although the bundle package saved the gems normally on my OS X Mavericks, BOSH failed to compile them on Ubuntu because of native extensions. The issue was in the pre_packaging script that executed the bundle package to save gems in the vendor/cache folder. Still, the main challenge I faced when creating this BOSH release was the hooks that run on your computer before the release is uploaded and built in BOSH. His changes involved using errand jobs to register Admin UI in UAA. Since Admin UI started to use sequel_pg that required the pg gem, which-in its turn-needed libpq-dev installed, I decided to take it from this BOSH release (as suggested by Soon after that, added another pull request based on mine. To update Admin UI in a BOSH release, we created a pull request. So you need to use your CF credentials to log in. In the latest version, authentication is performed through UAA.
This requires building gems with native extensions for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite (version 3). To increase performance, Admin UI now looks directly into CC and UAA databases. In addition, the developer introduced a number of changes that made it hard to update the BOSH release. However, soon we discovered that it does not support the latest version that we used. After we had finished translating the app, we created a pull request to the official Admin UI branch and decided to use the Admin UI BOSH release to deploy our changes. Not so long ago, one of our customers needed to add localization to the latest version of Admin Ul.
I also provide a temporary workaround for those who need to deploy Admin UI now and cannot wait for the next BOSH release. In this post, I share my experience with creating a BOSH release (not yet available at the time this was published) for a new version of Admin UI. In addition, they provide the easiest way to bind Cloud Foundry components and custom services. By doing so, you can avoid exposing them with Router or deploying them as apps. Getting updates directly from the NATS messaging bus, it gives admins access to CF components, their logs, statistics on DEAs and applications deployed to them, user rights, and other things not available in the Cloud Foundry CLI.īOSH releases help to achieve high availability by installing important components outside the main CF deployment. Admin UI, a monitoring tool from the Cloud Foundry incubator, is a good example of a utility that you want to have access to no matter what. Some Cloud Foundry components must be available, even if Router fails.
