Contributing to Ansible-NAS is easy! Add your functionality, then raise a pull request on GitHub. A few things to bear in mind:
* **Restrict pull requests to one piece of functionality or bugfix at a time.**
* Test your new functionality or bugfix using the included `tests/test-vagrant.sh` script to spin up a test VM.
* Run `ansible-lint` against the playbook before committing. (There is a VSCode task set up to run the right command for you)
* Ensure that your PR only changes files required for your functionality or bugfix. Random changes in other files will result in your PR being rejected
If you're adding a new application:
* It must be structured in an [Ansible role](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_roles.html).
* Ensure that the new application is disabled by default.
* Add a documentation page to `docs/applications/` - use an existing application as an example.
* Add to the list of Available Applications in `README.md`
* Add the frontend port to `docs/configuration/application_ports.md`, ensuring you've not clashed with an existing application.
## Things to bear in mind
* If you break the build with your PR, it'll need to be fixed before it's merged.
* Pull requests that unintentionally touch files, or that show files as removed then re-added will be rejected.
* Don't mess with line endings, or tabs vs. spaces.
* Please know that your efforts are appreciated, thanks! :+1:
## Development Environment
* Development of Ansible-NAS is carried out in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) - you'll get some nice
recommended extensions and task setups if you do the same.
* You'll need a working Python 3 environment, and [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) installed - `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`.
* Development of Ansible-NAS is carried out in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) on Linux - you'll get some nice recommended extensions and task setups if you do the same.
* You'll need a working Python 3 environment, Docker (to run tests) and [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) installed - `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`.
## General Stuff
* **Restrict pull requests to one piece of functionality or bugfix at a time.**
* Ensure that your changes aren't going to break the GitHub builds. You can run the Pre-commit checks manually (it's not yet configured to run on every commit) using the VSCode task.
* Ensure that your PR only changes files required for your functionality or bugfix. Random changes in other files will result in your PR being rejected.
* Don't mess with line endings, or change spaces for tabs. They're fine how they are.
* Please know that your efforts are appreciated, thanks! :+1:
## Adding a new application
So you want to add a new application. Great!
* Start by looking at the `hello_world` example. Following this structure is the most likely way of getting your PR approved. Leaving out things the `hello_world` example includes (ie docs, tests) will definitely result in your PR being rejected.
* Add to the list of Available Applications in `README.md`
