====== Staging Enviroment ======

In order to introduce corrections or new functionalities in the existing system, a practical test is required in a realistic environment with all system dependencies. The purpose of the Staging Enviroment is to create this environment to imitate the Picalike system.


===== Concept =====

Basically, with the help of Ansible and Docker, docker images are downloaded from Harbor and started on the defined server (currently Dev01) with the necessary variables.


===== Requirements =====

To do this, the individual services must be built in advance locally with the right docker tag and pushed into the harbor. The Staging Enviroment also assumes that a Zookeeper Ensemble has already been defined and started for the Eco-System “staging”.
