publicly hosted API endpoint for kompose

[concaf]

Hey team,

We've had some discussions around it but never opened an issue, so here it is.

Does it make sense for kompose to have an publicly hosted API endpoint where users can just curl and send their Docker Compose files and it returns the converted artifacts?

I'm suggesting something like -

curl -X POST -F file=@docker-compose.yml kompose.io/convert and then we return Kubernetes artifacts, which can be piped directly to kubectl create -f -.

This will not require installing kompose, will be very useful and will be super cool to provide kompose-as-a-service or kompaas :)

Thoughts?

As an alternative, instead of an API, it would make more sense to have a demo on http://kompose.io similar to the "Go" playground. Build it with Go as a back-end with http server + react.js / vue.js as a front-end. Simply paste your docker-compose.yaml file in and output goes the kubernetes artifacts!

@cdrage makes sense, I have no idea about web stuff, but sounds cool. It can double up as an API as well.

@containscafeine yup. that's what would be intended! :)

Yup, this one should be closed 👍 Kind friends made a GUI interface which people may use as a publicly hosting conversion: http://kompose.io/integrations/#kompose-ui-by-jad-chamoun-icann-and-joe-haddad-anghami
