Structure of the Drumkit Project

Drumkit contains three kinds of make files in the mk directory: [ note: we need to distinguish between mk and .mk in the documentation]

  • Projects
  • Tasks
  • Tools

Projects

You can use drumkit to initialize the following types of projects:

  • Ansible (creates the following components)
    • Inventory
    • Groups
    • Hosts
  • Packer
  • Drupal
  • Hugo docs sites
  • Aegir
  • Openstack
  • Aegir VPS

Tasks

The “tasks” category is for ongoing building and maintenance tasks that have been automated with drumkit.

This includes:

  • Running the docs server (make docs-start and make docs-kill)
  • Managing git submodules
  • Running drumkit tests (make test-drumkit)
  • Running ansible playbooks

Tools

This set of files is primarily for the installation of new tooling software. If it’s a noun, it’s probably in the “Tools” category. This is an evolving list, so check the mk/tools folder for the lastest options.

Some examples include:

  • Hugo
  • Gitlab-ci-local
  • DDEV (only on Linux - must be installed manually for OSX)
  • Packer
  • Terraform
