Discussion on: How to Share Simple Bash Tasks with Others by Using Sparrow

View post

Hi! Sparrow's support for hosted solutions is limited. Drop me an issue on GH on this and I'll see what can I do to improve this ( should be a big deal as SparrowHub source code is ready to open source, just stored at private GitLab repo )

As workaround you can use gemote Git repositories to host your private sparrow plugins, the example in the paper could be rewritten as:

Create sparrow plugin


$ git init

$ nano story.bash
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

$ nano sparrow.json
{
  "name" : "ruby-rvm-stable"
}

$ git add story.bash sparrow.json

$ git commit -a -m "my sparrow plugin to install ruby/rvm"
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/melezhik/ruby-rvm-stable.git
$ git push -u origin master

Spin up custom Sparrow repository and add a plugin to index

Then you have to add plugin to the custom Sparrow repository:


$ nestd start --host 192.168.0.1 --port 4441

$ curl \
 -d name=ruby-rvm-stable \
 -d url=https://github.com/melezhik/ruby-rvm-stable.git \
 -L  192.168.0.1:4441/add

Use Sparrow plugin

And then end user need just need this:


$ echo repo: 192.168.0.1:4441 >> ~/sparrow.yaml 
$ sparrow index update
$ sparrow plg install ruby-rvm-stable
$ sparrow plg run ruby-rvm-stable
