CA Developer Profiles

Developer / Maintainer Profiles

 

CA supports developer profiles.  This allows a user to look at and compare the developers who are creating / supporting the various containers / plugins.  In order to take advantage of this, create a file within your template repositories called ca_profile.xml

 

Whenever a user selects the "Repositories" section, preference (ie: the first ones in the list) are given to authors who have filled out the profile.

 

For most developers, the profile would be something akin to:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Maintainer>
  <Icon>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/docker-templates/master/ich777/images/avatar.jpg</Icon>
  <Profile>
    Creating Docker containers with a little different approach than most developers, the container only has the dependencies installed and also the start script and downloads the application itself on the first start and updates the application on every start/restart of the container.
