Is this a dead project? #698
Comments
|
Hello @cristianrat and thanks for your concern. The project isn't dead dead, but it's probably not getting any new features in the near future. Only the occasional bugfixes and dependency upgrades will sneak up from time to time. I will see about what happened to the docs and try to get them fixed. Regarding docker-compose, I believe nobody has tried to use it internally recently, or if they did, they didn't attempt to fix it. I, for example, use a virtualenv instead for such projects and don't bother with docker. Silver was always meant to be included as a Django app in your project, instead of being run as standalone, but maybe that wasn't made clear enough. Silver is still being used internally at Presslabs, where we also have a fair amount of custom business logic written on top of it. One example is for Europe's eInvoicing (eFactura in our case), which is not exposed as part of Silver since the implementation depends on an external service, and wouldn't make sense for most users. With that being said, if you're looking for a great out of the box experience, I can't recommend this project in good faith. And as always, if you're not sure about a project, look around for other options that better fit your needs. |

Multumesc Bogdan

Now back to English
Fair enough. Thanks for recommending that other one.
In the end I am very likely going to build my own thing. Won't have
complicated stuff (yet)
Been looking around and doesn't feel like any of the options are ready or
the ones that are, are huge and more than I need
Not sure, we'll see

It might provide some value as learning material. Otherwise, as a base for
your project (either as a dependency or a fork), it will probably require a
decent amount of effort on your side.
For example, these guys seem to have been running a fork for a while:
https://github.com/truehostcloud/silver . I don't know if they're happy
or not with their decision, but they probably got the job done.
And as always, if you're not sure about a project, look around for other
options that better fit your needs.

The reason I am asking is because even the docker-compose isn't working
So unsure if this is being actively maintained
It also refers to "read the docs", which points to a blog page
Then the open source page of the company behind this, doesn't include this product.
Cheers
