Epic 1: Shellbox[edit]
The goal of this epic is to have a PHP microservice, accessible via HTTP, which takes POSTed inputs, writes them to the container's filesystem as temporary files, runs a shell command, and responds with gathered output files.
Personas in this epic:
- Developer: developer of the Shellbox
- SRE: developer of the Shellbox
- Stakeholder: anyone interested in seeing the MediaWiki on Kubernetes (MW on K8) be a success.
| ID | User Story | Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | As a Developer, For security, we need better isolation of external binaries from MediaWiki. | Must Have | |
| 2 | As a Developer, we want to run MediaWiki itself under Kubernetes, the resulting container should be as small as possible, so it should ideally exclude unnecessary binaries. | Must Have | |
| 3 | As an SRE, I want to deploy external binaries separately, so that their version isn't tightly coupled with the MediaWiki host operating system. | Must Have |
