[ckan-dev] RFC: New spec for remote CKAN configuration on the ideas and roadmap repo

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

We are planning on doing some work to make CKAN more "cloud friendly"
and ease its deployment using tools like Docker. The main goals are:

* Make easier to install CKAN in an automated way, eg with deployment
and orchestration tools and/or in a cloud environment with multiple
CKAN instances

* Allow authorized users or scripts to change (some) configuration
options without having to login to the server, via the API or web
interface.

To that extent we have drafted a spec with the proposed changes, and
comments are very welcomed:

The actual document is best viewed in this link:

Cheers,
