vnext-alpha-1.0.0

This is the vnext-alpha-1 release of mini-loop and it deploys Mojaloop vnext-alpha release for demonstration, trial and testing.

v5.0

mini-loop v5.0 deploys Mojaloop v15.0.0 using kubernetes v1.26 or 1.27

Noteable changes in mini-loop v5.0

1. updated to deploy Mojaloop v15.0.0 including deploying the now standard Mojaloop example backend services chart which deploys MySQL, Mongo, Kafka etc
2. updated to use and require kubernetes v1.26 or 1.27
3. simplified the directory structure and the names of the scripts installing and configuring both kubernetes (k8s-install.sh) and Mojaloop (mojaloop-install.sh)
4. added the mini-loop-simple-install.sh script to further simplify access to Mojaloop !
5. added the -o option to allowed the deployment and configuration of 3PPI and Bulk Mojaloop charts
6. added a statics section for the deployment, reporting memory usage, deployment times and a few other basic stats.
7. updated the utils/test/miniloop-test.sh script to run mini-loop in a "loop". This is to illustrate how mini-loop can be used in CI/CD tools that are spun-up and spun-down with the aim of increasing test scope and reducing cloud costs for Mojaloop operators and developers.
8. added memory and disk space checks to make sure that there is enough memory and disk available for Mojaloop, it is currently set at 8GB Ram , this is a case of trying to "fail fast" , the alternative is confusion as kubernetes tries and fails to fit all pods into insufficient memory. If you want to try running in < 8GB ram just modify the MIN_RAM=8 setting in the scripts/k8s.install.sh script.

Full Changelog: v3.0...v4.0

mini-loop 3.0

This release of mini-loop adds the rancher k3s kubernetes distribution as an option to install and subsequently use for the Mojaloop helm chart deployment. The main purpose of this is to enable mini-loop to deploy Mojaloop onto a wider variety of linux distributions and infrastructure in the future. This v3.0 release also includes some bug fixes to the scripts and documentation to enable remote access to the Mojaloop instance once it is running.

mini-loop v2.0

This release of mini-loop removes the previous dependencies on vagrant and virtualbox and allows deployment of Mojaloop onto any running Ubuntu version 16,18 or 20 or Operating system.

mini-loop v1.1

This release updates mini-loop to v1.1
Major Changes :-

• dropped support for deployment to GCS (but will add back in if there is demand)
• updated to Mojaloop v13.0.x
• updated K8s version to v1.20.x
• automatic testing of the mojaloop deployment is now performed with the mojaloop Testing Toolkit rather than postman.
• Instead of demonstrating the function of mojaloop with .sh scripts the Mobile Simulator demo of the Testing Toolkit is now used.
