feat: add Flipt to playground

[lukas-reining]

This PR

Adds Flipt to the playground as discussed with @markphelps.

@markphelps for being able to show "live changing" of flags I chose not to use the read-only mode with static flag definitions.
I chose to use SQLite and created a copy of a DB with configured flags that can be copied before doing docker compose up.
Otherwise Flipt works great with the Playground and is a great addition for showing live changes in an UI.

cheers @lukas-reining !! thank you very much for adding Flipt to the playground!

I'm having trouble finding Flipt in the list of providers in the playground to switch between, am I doing something wrong?

Note: I can access the Flipt UI and see that the flags / sqlite data has been imported correctly

Hey @markphelps, I guess you will need to comment out the image in the docker-compose.yaml for the demo and the fib service:

services:
  demo:
    image: ghcr.io/open-feature/playground-app:v0.15.2 # x-release-please-version
    # build:
    #  dockerfile: ./packages/app/Dockerfile
    #  context: .

to

services:
  demo:
    # image: ghcr.io/open-feature/playground-app:v0.15.2 # x-release-please-version
    build:
    dockerfile: ./packages/app/Dockerfile
    context: .

Does it work now? :)

silly me, yes works great now thank you!

one idea instead of requiring users to copy over the sqlite db before running docker-compose up would be that we could take advantage of our import functionality: https://docs.flipt.io/operations/import-export#import to import the flag state from yaml.

we do this in our examples via an init service in docker-compose, ex: https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt/blob/main/examples/openfeature/docker-compose.yml#L11-L20

it might be a bit more portable this way, but im happy either way 😄

Oh I have completely overseen the import function.
I switched to using it, basically exactly as you did in the linked code.
This is great and is even better for starters, thanks!
What do you think @markphelps?

I'm not able to get it working locally. Flipt errors getting the db driver for dqlite. Here's what I'm seeing the logs.

The init script is also trying to mount flipt.yml but that doesn't exist at the root of the project.

couple things related to @beeme1mr 's comments

[lukas-reining]

Yes, these were wrong, I completely oversaw those after changing to the import feature @markphelps.
Can you try again @beeme1mr?

[beeme1mr]

It runs now but the UI wasn't bootstrapped with the flags.

I'm looking into it now.

[beeme1mr]

The error message is:

playground-init_flipt-1       | 2024-05-21T19:09:25Z    DEBUG   configuration source    {"path": "/etc/flipt/config/default.yml"}
playground-init_flipt-1       | Error: getting db driver for: sqlite3: unable to open database file: no such file or directory

It looks like we're missing default.yml in the config folder.

[beeme1mr]

It's working for me now. Please try my changes to make sure it works for others.

[lukas-reining]

Works for me too @beeme1mr! :)
