HowTo create a new CFv2 ping service from scratch

[Brice Vandeputte]

hi

 as we experiment CFv2 we had to create a new service for our private cloud

 (if we are not mistaken) we didn't find a "full ready to use" how to create a new CFv2 service for a simple service like "echo" for example

 we could parse the existing services (ex. memcached, vblob, postgresql) to understand what to do but starting from scratch this was not so easy...

• cloudfoundry/cf-services-release
• cloudfoundry/cf-services-contrib-release

"Echo" service seems too light to understand the warden mechanism and we used memcached as example.

 

So we tried to isolate a simple warden service called "Ping" : this service run a simple ruby web server that serve a txt page.

     https://github.com/boly38/cf-service-ping/

     in this repository ping rspec tests should be fixed 

      and it would be great to write a test guide too..(how to run local warden and related dependancies etc..)

We will stop cf-service-ping contributions for now but it could be a good idea to create and maintain an official cloudfoundry "ping/echo sample" contrib repository 

to help CFv2 users to create new services from scratch.

Unlike "cf-services-contrib-release" this repository includes one service(only), its required dependencies(only), and much documentation as possible.

Hope this help
