Implementation details - sonchang/cattle GitHub Wiki

Feel free to provide better names

New cattle resource called template-repository that has field for connecting to a repository. Actions available:

• list : retrieves list of compose-templates from repository
• load : load the contents of file
• run "some_id". take JSON payload where:

    metadata: connection_info_for_fetching_values_from_server,
    fields : {
      user_field: user_value,
      etc...
    }

1. does variable substitutions. the keys in `fields` can have the same exact name as the variables in the template file. from the metadata server, these should probably be namespaced according to the **environment/project.**
2. feeds into `rancher-compose` library that does the necessary cattle API calls. For now, I'll just use system exec until a `rancher-compose` library exists.
