pair.sharing.io alternative POC using coder.com + VSCode

[hh]

What if your CNCF project could click to create a working ingress *.GITHUBUSER.PROJECT.cncf.io on a live Kubernetes cluster where your your project comes up fully deployed, and a shared editor on the web to quickly demonstrate ideas and co-create PRs?

It would help us mentor, onboard, and help create more contributors globally, even if they don't have local computers or infrastructure to develop locally.

This issue is to track a Proof Of Concept migrating some core principles @ii has learn creating pair.sharing.io to coder.com workspaces hosted on CNCF infrastructure.

• See if coder.com can be ported to use ClusterAPI to bring up workspaces quickly (vcluster/kubevirt)
• See if https://github.com/sharingio/environment can be deployed within the workspace + connected to VSCode
• Port over prioritised list of features from pair.sharing.io to this PoC (tbd)

hi @hh I would like to contribute to this project, please let me know how can I connect with you & team to learn more about project and to get started .

Hi @hh. I would like to contribute to this project. I am currently using kubernetes to manage the deployment of over fifteen services at my place of work. I have also worked hand in hand to troubleshoot some deployment issues, while migrating services from an old cluster to a new cluster. All of these exposed me to various facets of kubernetes technology. I have also worked on s number of projects as a software developer. Not saying that I am an expert, in fact, I do have a lot to learn. But grateful for challenges like this that push us to learn

[Chinwendu20]

Please could someone explain to me what is mean't by POC?

#pair-sharing-io on the CNCF slack is one way to connect, if you are interested in the LFX Mentorship, be sure and apply.

• LFX Mentoring Workspaces Cohort : https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/main/lfx-mentorship/2022/03-Sept-Nov#mentoring-workspaces---githubuserprojectcncfio-w-vscode
• Apply Here : https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/2f5582f4-6cfa-41af-88d2-2bfdd8768756

[hh]

We won't be touching much of the existing codebase, but pulling over ideas and exploring if coder/coder would be a better base for our pairing workspaces.

[Chinwendu20]

Please I would like to understand what new solution our pairing workspace would offer when compared to coder.com

[zeel-pathak]

@hh, This idea is fantastic, I submitted my application.
I hope to get selected so we can turn such a wonderful idea into reality:)

[hh]

The applications close this week, I'll be reviewing them next week. Good luck!

[Rahulkhinchi03]

Hi @hh,
Is the LFX Mentee selected?

I have been looking my mail all day! 👀

[hh]

Our Mentee for this cohort is @sbdtu5498.
/assign @sbdtu5498

[hh]

@sbdtu5498 I'd like you update our fork of coder https://github.com/sharingio/coder and add:

• A .sharingio/init file that starts up tilt / a working ingress
• Tiltfile

[hh]

@zachmandeville can you also take a look? @BobyMCbobs said he thinks a Tiltfile / Helmchart are too much for now and that uses the exporter : https://github.com/sharingio/pair/blob/master/org/features.org#automatic-exposing-of-services-inside-of-environment

Hey all 👋 (maintainer of coder/coder here). Let me know if you encounter any issues - I'm happy to noodle on product ideas or fix bugs as you find em'!

[sbdtu5498]

Thanks a lot for the kind gesture @kylecarbs. I am Sanskar Bhushan, the main mentee of the project working with brilliant folks from ii.coop including @hh, @zachmandeville, @Riaankl, and @BobyMCbobs. If required I would ask the doubts on Coder Slack.

Putting together a bit more of a project roadmap here: https://hackmd.io/MYsKUFclTCyU57UU-zKlVQ?view

[github-actions]

This issue is becoming stale. In order to keep the tracker readable and actionable, I'm going close to this issue in 7 days if there isn't more activity.

[kylecarbs]

@hh is there anything else needed from our side to get y'all up n' running? Just wanna make sure we aren't blocking you!

[shubham-cmyk]

Hi @sbdtu5498 can you introduce me to some of your past work I am willing to apply for this project

[harsh098]

I have applied for the 2023 Mentorship program. May I start working on the issue ? I have started looking at the repo. Please tag some relevant material to get started, it would be very helpful. I am new to open source but I am very passionate to take this opportunity to kickstart my journey.
