Enables testing with kitchen-dokken for some of the supported OSes.

[simonwgill]

Description

Updates metadata.rb to be clear about which versions of the platform are supported. Platforms and versions listed in metadata are also named in the kitchen config for vagrant. Platforms not supported have been removed from the dokken kitchen config. Everythings been rearranged to hopefully be more readable.

The CircleCI config now uses dokken-single from the sous-chef/kitchen orb instead of dokken. The latter pulls in the centos-6 image - which is pointless when RHEL6 variants aren't supported.

Issues Resolved

#25

Check List

• All tests pass. See https://github.com/sous-chefs/apache2/blob/master/TESTING.md
• New functionality includes testing.
• New functionality has been documented in the README if applicable

centos-7 should/does cover redhat-7. We don't tend to test using this as it isn't available as a dokken or Vagrant image

[simonwgill]

It shooooould, but I've had some issues with my testing on the EC2 provider with package inconsistencies between variants. RHEL-7 fails to install libdnet and libdnet-devel, where CentOS 7 is perfectly happy.

I take the point about Vagrant though, I haven't been checking that it would work since I broke my work desktop with too many kitchen instances running at once.

kitchen/dokken covers most of these platforms for less yaml :)

[simonwgill]

It does, but it also includes centos-6, which will break the check. I don't know if there's a way to have a loop in this yaml - so platform: [ centos-7, fedora-27, ubuntu-1804 ] and didn't want to burn too many cycles on that at this point.

Also this way there's also a number of dokken jobs which can be parallelized and reported separately. Minor thing, but I've found it helpful.

This is an awesome start.

For reference
the kitchen/dokken orb is here (which you might want to use:

Needs some updating to use the right platforms and the new orb.

Needs some updating to use the right platforms and the new orb.

See: #31
there are compile issues at the moment, need your assistance in resolving them :)

[simonwgill]

I'll catch up with the changes over the next couple of weeks and see what I can do.
