We often need to develop and maitain Zendesk Apps which connects to our external APIs for data required for our Support operations. I often have to swtich on different machines whenever there is a new requirement in app, however a big chunk of time is wasted in settting up zat server so that we can use zat tools for updating apps. Sometimes the installation fails due to some error from ruby etc which really diminishes productivity at all.
Like other CRMs is it possible to have an official docker image of ZAT tools (with regular updates from your dev end) so that we can keep using the docker image if we have to use different machines for maintaining our customized Zendesk Apps (which we created using `zat new` command)?
Official Docker Image for ZAT server build tools
Hey @vaibhav11,
I'm not aware of any plans to have an officially supported docker image for ZAT. Since ZAT is now in maintenance mode I highly doubt this would be an addition we would make in future. I'd encourage you to take a look at ZCLI, which is the new Zendesk command line interface for the apps framework. You should find that set up and configuration are much less time consuming, and less prone to config errors.
@tipene Thanks for the prompt response. Is there any readymade docker image for ZCLI so that I can start working on it without any prior installation or OS configurations(s) ?
I don't think there is for ZCLI at this stage, unfortunately. I'll check with the team though, and let you know!
Thanks. It will be a great help in improving productivity of Zendesk App Devs as it will save us from all the preconfiguration before starting to actually develop/maintain our App
