Agenda

• Helm integration with UC Docker
  • Issues
    • Add Documentation for the Production Build of the Web UI #799
    • [UI] Interface to Configure the API base url #899
    • Add helm chart for unitycatalog #895
  • Should we consider building a different Docker image specifically to support the Helm image
  • Run this on the same server or different domains - there is a fix but it may make sense to fix in the docker itself
  • Work on consolidating issue feat: Base Helm chart #45 with Add helm chart for unitycatalog #895
• Docker
  • @dennyglee needs to review [BUILD] Push official docker image on tagged release #910
  • @sdwbgn to review [BUILD] Push official docker image on tagged release #910 to ensure this works with Add helm chart for unitycatalog #895
  • Should we push latest, nightly for regular commits?
    • Each stable release has a tag and unstable versions have their own tag
    • Build nightlies and keep X number of days
    • Philosophical question: Have nightly tag and date tag vs. clients should be using stable build vs. unstable build
    • @tnightengale will validate if we have the storage necessary to support this (potentially pre-mature optimization here)?
    • Should be part of the release process
    • Should we build latest (vs. nightly)
    • Decision: Build the latest from main branch and stable releases (i.e. Proposal 1 per thread but for latest (vs. nightly))
  • UI discussion
    • Current state: out-of-the-box works in the development server and a workaround for production npm config
    • Add Documentation for the Production Build of the Web UI #799 and [UI] Interface to Configure the API base url #899 is about discussing this
    • Issue: proxy service with npm development server spins up a proxy the front end which doesn't exist in production (i.e. blocker)
    • Cross-site stuff becomes complicated (yay!)
    • Potential solutions
      • potentially use envoy proxy to build helm/docker back-end only and then layer on the front-end
      • yarn/npm production build of static files and run ngix proxy in the container so folks only need to pull down and configure for runtime.
      • Potentially Polaris handles CORS on the server side.
    • Decision: Potentially decide based on deployment method, let's continue discussion in [UI] Interface to Configure the API base url #899
