Adding a test solution to the repo

[thirdgen88]

It is becoming more clear that automated testing would be helpful to code in the various configuration permutations that need to function within the capabilities of this image. Testing these manually is becoming burdensome. I'm going to tag this issue with help wanted, because I'll certainly welcome it, but mainly if anyone has any suggestions on tooling please let me know too. I'll get it done at some point in either case just to make my life easier. 😀 My current plan would be to probably leverage some Ansible to stage/conduct the testing.

If an Ignition API or an Ignition CLI existed (both to perform queries but also edit configurations) then you could base your testing on that, and also it would make Ignition commissioning 10x more flexible 🙂 .

Otherwise I'd build a test suite like this:

• Step 1: create a test scenario.
• Step 2: run a docker container for that scenario.
• Step 3: inspect the docker container with docker commands in a way that verifies that your scenario is properly recreated in the running container.
