Hi Chris, for build compatibility I would go with option 2. Even if I am from the anti-profil-option party. With option 1 the PLC4X complete build would be failing because of a missing docker dependency. Greetings to all Windows users which do not want to use the Hyper-V especially with Windows-Core and Windows on ARM.

Hi all, yesterday I had a look at what’s missing in order for us to ship fully functional StreamPipe modules. Adding the missing spring-boot repackaging was simple. I also added Dockerfiles for both modules that successfully build docker images and should theoretically also deploy them to dockerhub. HOWEVER … the build like this only works with Docker installed on your system. So now to my question 1: * Do we want to make Docker mandatory? … then I would add a check to the setup script * Do we enable the Docker stuff by adding a “with-docker” profile? … this too would add a Docker detection to the script, but this is only executed if the profile is enabled. I would opt for option 2 with the profile and to add this to the configuration of the release-plugin that this also enables the “with-docker” profile. I am however hesitant as I have noticed that some people in the community dislike having all these profiles and we just got rid of some. Second thing is: Do we want to distribute Docker images of things that need it? And if yes, how do we do it correctly (Justin … this part of the question is generally directed to you ;) ) I would like to distribute the StreamPipes images and if things are added, that require it, those too (Perhaps one day the Mock PLC and stuff like that). However I don’t want to distribute our examples this way. Please share your thoughts on these questions. Chris
