Congratulations! If you made it here, then you must have a provider ready to go =)
Poppy uses the Stevedore framework to configure Drivers into the application.
Register your provider in Stevedore
/setup.cfg::
Add an entry point in setup.cfg so that Poppy recognizes your new driver and operators can start to use it.
poppy.provider = {your_provider_name} = poppy.provider.{your_provider_name}:Driver
This will allow Poppy to detect your provider, and use it in configurations.
Once you have registered your Stevedore plugin, please add it to the configuration.
Configuring your Driver
/etc/poppy.conf::
# Provider modules list (a list of comma separated provider module list) providers = mock,fastly,akamai,{your_provider_name}
[drivers:provider:{your_provider_name}] username = "MY_USERNAME" apikey = "MY_APIKEY"
where username and apikey are configuration parameters that your driver may require to communicate with your backend api.
