This page serves to provide instructions on how to setup, change, and publish an update for the [redmine-operator](https://charmhub.io/redmine-operator) charm.

To test the deploy of the charm locally, use [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io/):

```
# Install/Setup MicroK8s

$ sudo snap install --classic microk8s
$ sudo usermod -aG microk8s $(whoami)
$ sudo microk8s status --wait-ready
$ sudo microk8s enable storage dns ingress
$ sudo snap alias microk8s.kubectl kubectl
$ newgrp microk8s

# Install Charmcraft
$ sudo snap install charmcraft

# Install Juju 2.9+
$ sudo snap install juju --classic

# Bootstrap MicroK8s
$ juju bootstrap microk8s micro
$ juju add-model development

# Build the charm and deploy
$ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/~thogarre/+git/redmine-operator
$ cd redmine-operator
$ charmcraft pack
$ juju deploy postgresql-k8s postgres
$ juju deploy ./redmine_ubuntu-20.04-amd64.charm --resource redmine-image=bitnami/redmine:latest
$ juju relate postgres:db redmine:db
```

# Debugging

Create a bash session to inspect the redmine container with:

```
$ kubectl exec --stdin --tty redmine-0 -n <namespace> -c redmine -- /bin/bash
```

## Publishing and Releasing a new version

See [Juju | Publishing](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/publishing) and [Juju | Resources](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/resources) for additional documentation. As a short summary:

```
$ charmcraft login
$ charmcraft pack
$ chamcraft upload
# if a new resource has to be uploaded, such as the redmine image:
$ charmcraft upload-resource --image redmine:4.2 redmine-operator redmine-image
# get the image revision number from the output
$ charmcraft release redmine-operator --revision=$charm_revision --channel=$channel --resource=redmine-image:$image_revision
# be sure to also git commit/code review/push to the upstream source so the changes are in version control
```

If a new version of the OCI image is added as a resource, make sure to update the [documentation](https://charmhub.io/redmine-operator/docs/OCI%20Image) so this new image can be mapped to the specific charm revision.
