Wildfly Patches and Installation Manager

[Marcus Handte]

Hello everyone,

so far, I've been using patches built with the patch-gen tool (https://github.com/jbossas/patch-gen) to install additional libraries such as database connectors (e.g. https://github.com/locoslab/wildfly-mariadb-patcher) into Wildfly AS. This worked well for standalone instances and clustered setups. However, with recent releases of Wildfly (e.g. 31.0.1.Final), it seems to me as if it is no longer possible to patch standalone servers and there appears to be a new way of adding software with the help of an installation manager. Unfortunately, I am not able to find any documentation on the installation manager and the channel model leveraged by it looks somehow like a subscription service. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could point me into the right direction. I am sure that I am missing out on some important piece of information and I am not able to google it. Thank you.

Cheers,

Marcus

Nevermind. Apparently, I was living under a rock for quite some time. The answer is Galleon (https://github.com/wildfly/galleon) and the data sources feature pack (https://github.com/wildfly-extras/wildfly-datasources-galleon-pack). Sorry for the spam.

Cheers,

Marcus
