Contributing

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.

If you're adding a new application:

• 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.
• Add to the list of cretificate requests in 'templates/traefik/traefik.toml' if the program is to be used externally.

A typical new application PR will include 2 new files (docs/applications/application.md and 'tasks/application.yml') and have 5 updated files ('README.md', 'nas.yml', docs/configuration/application_ports.md, 'group_vars/all.yml', 'templates/traefik/traefik.toml'

Things to bear in mind

• If you break the build with your PR, please fix it :)
• Pull requests that unintentionally touch files, or that show files as removed then re-added will be rejected.
• Please know that your efforts are appreciated, thanks! 👍

Development Environment

• Development of Ansible-NAS is carried out in Visual Studio Code - you'll get some nice recommended extensions and task setups if you do the same.
