Juju bundle deployment and local repository

Question

Is is possible to deploy bundles that contain charms from a local repository? I suspect using the commandline, it might be possible but the juju-gui has no idea where to find the local charms...

Answer 1

This is correct. You can use local charms in a bundle if you use juju-deployer (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install juju-deployer). After doing this you'll need to download the bundle you wish to deploy, modify it so that it just uses "charm" names:

bundle:
  service:
    charm: wordpress

instead of the fully qualified cs:trusty/wordpress. After this, set JUJU_REPOSITORY to your local charm repository and run juju deployer against your bundles.yaml file.
