About GerritForge

Founded in 2009 in London UK

Mission: Integrate Gerrit withthe Enterprise

4

Agenda

Gerrit community is growing Why going native? Native binaries Docker distribution Installing a Gerrit plugin in 1 second! The Certified choice

5

Gerrit 4 years ago

We could all fit in medium class-room

6

Gerrit in 2015

… something like this

7

Gerrit at the beginning

All-in-one monolithic WAR One file drop + init set-up Limited but simple configuration Mainly used by its developers /

contributors Maven-based (very slow) build No plugins

8

Gerrit today in numbers

Over 1.1M lines of code Fully modular and extensible Web, TTY, IntelliJ / Eclipse user

interfaces 56 plugins and growing Users have little knowledge of Gerrit

internals BUCK-powered (super-cool and fast)

build

9

Hold on, WAR set-up

wizard is quite easy

WHY on earth do we need another

packaging?

10

General growth challenges

Gerrit community gets diverse Non-java developers are using Gerrit Lower % of Gerrit users can understand and

change the source Companies may not have access to BUCK in

their build systems

11

Enterprise challenges

Gerrit managed by non-devs More general "tools Opts" rather than gurus Company standards in Software distribution

and updates Need of standard Enterprise Support tools

12

Filling the gap

Step #1

13

Let's install Gerrit as any other sw package$ apt-get install gerrit

$ /etc/init.d/gerrit start

$ tail –f /var/log/gerrit/error_log

Does not require Gerrit-specific skills Can be easily automated Can be controlled / integrated with

standard Sw management tools Packages can be signed and certified

14

Filling the gap

Step #2

15

What about Gerrit pre-installed?$ docker pull gerritforge/gerrit-centos7

$ docker run –d -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7

Gerrit in a Docker container?

• "one-click" away from Amazon Cloud

• Baseline for customized configs

• Allows smoother migration thanks to versioned VMs

16

When can I start using them?

Gerrit 2.10 and 2.11 distributed asRPM, DEB and Docker

17

Wow, how many people used them?

Docker pulls overall:531 of CentOS 7-based2,400 of Ubuntu-based

Native packages downloads/month:189 RPMs

109 Debs downloads

18

What about Gerrit configuration?

RPMs and Debs contain a playground-style config

Still lots of Gerrit skills needed to configure / customize it

19

GerritForge certified distribution

Template-based configuration for common scenarios:oActive Directory oLDAPo Jira Integration and SSOo IBM Rational Team Concert Integration oGerrit with GitHub:Enterpriseo…

20

One plugin to manage them all

Step #3

21

What about Gerrit plugins? Plugins aren't part of Gerrit WAR (apart from 6

core plugins) Different plugins = different maintainers Plugins supported / compatible vs. Gerrit

versions Different plugins = different build systems

(BUCK, Maven, Sbt) Plugins hosted on different repositories

(Gerrit-Review, GitHub, my-own-git.com, …)

22

Plugin-Manager = the lord of the plugins Why don't we have only ONE plugin pre-installed?

o Discover new pluginso Compatibility check: plugin Version vs. Gerrito One-click plugin install

23

Discover and install plugins in 1 sec

24

Introducing GerritCentral.com
