Interested to add others plugins to that project ?

Hi @gperdomor

First I would like to thank you for that project. I'm using extensively the nx-container executor in my projects.

Because in my company we are deploying to Kubernetes I started to create couple of Nx executors for the Kubernetes ecosystem.

I would like to share those executors with the community so I though to start an open source project. But what's painful at the moment is the profusion of Nx plugins all over Github. Moreover, some of the executors have dependency to @nx-tools/container-metadata. So I though it might be better to publish those executors and generators in your project to have more visibility and support on the long term.

Most of the time those executors are just wrapper around the command line (e.g kustomize) but sometimes there's a bit of logic.

So at the moment this is the list of executors I developed:

• kustomize: Build kubernetes manifests with kustomize
• kubectl: Run kubectl apply
• k3d: Create local Kubernetes cluster with K3D
• gitops: Executor editing a Kustomize app in GitHub (only)

I also create a generator to create a typical kustomize project structure.

Please let me know what do you think.

Regards,

Nicolas

Cool stuff !

I'm gonna start working on it when I have a little time.

This is the plugin organization I envision:

.
packages
├── nx-kubernetes
│   ├── src
│   │   ├── executors
│   │   │   ├── build                    # Executors to build kubernetes manifests (support Helm and Kustomize)
│   │   │   ├── deploy                   # Executors to apply kubernetes manifests (support kubectl and gitops)
│   │   │   └── provision                # Executors to provision local Kubernetes cluster (support kind and k3d)
│   │   ├── generators
│   │   │   └── init                     # Generators to create a Kubernetes app (support Helm chart and Kustomize)

The idea is to be implement something like you did with the engine in nx-container, to be able to choose an implementation as an executor option (e.g helm or kustomize for the build executor).

Along the way community can add more implementation (e.g kpt or cdk8s )

Thanks again for you project !
