Possible to install Heat?

Hey,

Started to playing around with this neat package and run into the problem that I would like to use some of my heat templates for testing. But Heat seems to be missing in the package.
Is it possible to add it or install it afterwards?

Thanks in advance

Hi @darinkes. Thank you for checking out the tool!

Currently, heat isn't one of the components that we've bundled into microstack. You should be able to install it, via source or via the package manager of your choice, and configure it to talk to microstack, just as you would any other Openstack cloud.

I think that it might be interesting to bundle a suite of orchestration tools in microstack. It shouldn't add too much bulk, and it would make it a lot easier to integrate existing workflows smoothly with microstack. We're definitely open to a contribution along those lines :-)

github comment from @darinkes:

Hey,

tried adding heat to the snapcraft.yml, but then the build failed cause of missing packages.
I suspect it's cause I'm on 18.04 and build just works for 16.04(?). That's correct?
