Host OpenStack Apps Catalog Service

https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2000272

Host the http://apps.openstack.org/ OpenStack Apps Catalog Service within the community-managed project infrastructure.

Problem Description

The http://apps.openstack.org/ OpenStack Apps Catalog Service was set up in a hurry for announcement during a the Liberty Summit keynote presentation, and due to time constraints was done outside our project infrastructure. This is an unfortunate situation and should be rectified as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing mischaracterizations of the site's current hosting status.

Proposed Change

The OpenStack Apps Catalog Service is a very basic, static Web application for now. It will need a small VM with a puppet module to continuously deploy the stackforge/apps-catalog Git repository and configure Apache to serve it.

Alternatives

We could leave it as is or ask someone else to host it on OpenStack's behalf, but these are unacceptable for long-term maintainability within the community.

Implementation

Assignee(s)

Primary assignee:: docaedo
Infrastructure root shepherd:: fungi

Gerrit Topic

Use Gerrit topic "apps-site" for all patches related to this spec.

git-review -t apps-site

Work Items

An apps_site puppet module will need to be created, some glue for it should be added to openstack-infra/system config, and then it will need to be applied to a new apps.openstack.org server.

Repositories

An openstack-infra/puppet-apps_site repo will be created as part of this effort.

Servers

An apps.openstack.org server will need to be created, no other existing servers should need to be modified.

DNS Entries

The apps.openstack.org A and AAAA resource records will need to be updated to the IP addresses of the new server.

Documentation

The system-config services documentation will be updated with a summary of the OpenStack Apps Catalog Service.

Security

The OpenStack Apps Catalog Service currently consists of static content driven from a Git repository. It is being provisioned onto a dedicated system with the expectation that it may later grow an interactive API without risking the security posture of other sites hosted from the same server.

Testing

The existing puppet apply/integration jobs will suffice.
