Add a new app type to the WSO2 App Cloud

This blog explain how you can add a new app type to the WSO2 App cloud.

Step 1: Get a clone of WSO2 app cloud code base
git clone https://github.com/wso2/app-cloud

 Step 2: Create the docker files for the runtime
Please refer our existing docker files when creating new docker files for particular runtime.
https://github.com/wso2/app-cloud/tree/master/modules/resources/dockerfiles

 Following blog post gives you some details about structure of the docker files

 Step 3: Required database changes
When adding new app type you need add some database records, following diagram gives you an idea of database schema.

 AC_CLOUD defines the cloud types
AC_APP_TYPE defines app types
AC_RUNTIME defines runtimes
AC_CONTAINER_SPECIFICATIONS defines container specs
AC_TRANSPORT defines the ports we expose for end users
-- insert app type
-- insert app type, cloud mapping
-- insert runtime
-- insert app type, runtime mapping
-- insert container spec if required
-- insert runtime, container spec mapping
-- insert transport if required
-- insert runtime, transport mapping
Step 4: Specify app-type meta data in app-types-properties.json file
This json file we used to load the app type details to the App Cloud UI.
Step 5: Add a sample
We need to add a sample to implement deploy sample option.

Commit your sample archive here:

Specify the sample location here with the property <app_type>_sample_artifact_url

 Step 7: Implement endpoints section loading to the app home page
Please refer the followign blog post to see how we have developed the "Endpoints" section per app type.
