Project Idea 1 : Improving Microcks CLI or creating some microcks utility likemksctl
We aim to improve the Microcks CLI by integrating a robust CLI framework like Cobra CLI or by developing a dedicated utility tool. This enhancement will streamline interactions with Microcks, making it easier to install, manage, and extend.
@JulienBreux has started some work on creating a utility tool called mksctl here, so we can take it further.
Key Goals:
- Maintain compatibility with existing test and import commands.
- Enable easy installation via package managers (brew, apt, etc.).
- Provide simple commands (mksctl start, mksctl stop) to manage Microcks instances.
- Expand functionality with new commands (e.g., import from URL, import all files in a directory, create job, list jobs).
- Ensure scalability and community contributions through standard tooling.
- Work has already begun on mksctl, and the initial implementation has been merged into the Microcks CLI 1.x branch.
