Packaging

[Solvik]

It would be great at some point if we could create packages for this project so it's easier for lazy sysadmins to install the agent

I assume that not everybody is a fan of installing packages and dependencies through pip

If Debian/RPM/etc packages were available it'd be a nice addition!

Definitely a good idea. I will speak with my debian package specialist to see what we can do.

I am starting to package a debian package. Regarding dependencies, i will report my findings here.
PKG will be for Deb10++

Would be really helpfull.

I've started using pypi repository so you can now install it with pip3 install netbox-agent

[jczmok-iag]

seems fine.

Hi there;

This agent is awesome, we're looking at running it with a Kubernetes DaemonSet. Do you know if there's any efforts around containerizing/creating a Dockerfile for the project?

If not, I'd be happy to pick that up.

Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi Mohammed

Well, doing that through docker would mean having a unprivileged container so it can access everything the agent needs
Feel welcome to propose the Docker image, it could be a great addition !

[mnaser]

@Solvik I assume you mean a privileged container :)

We'll work on it and push up something.

RPM packages and repos are fairly simple, all I'd need would be the source code, install instructions, and an example config file

I will take care of packaging for Debian (main repository).
