Yesterday we released minimesos 0.7.1. You can install it using our new installer: `curl -sSL https://minimesos.org/install | sh`. The Docker images are available from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/containersol/minimesos/tags/) and the jar is available via [Jitpack](https://jitpack.io/#ContainerSolutions/minimesos). Minimesos is an experimentation and testing tool for Mesos with a Java API and a [Vagrant-like workflow](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/). The main new improvements in this release are the new [`minimesos init`](https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/minimesos/issues/255) command and the [minimesosFile](https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/minimesos/issues/185). Besides that we fixed a few issues surrounding image pulling and Mesos versions.

# Configure your cluster with the minimesosFile

In previous versions of minimesos, the `up` command created a default cluster consisting of a single Master, Agent and Zookeeper container. Several people wanted to change this configuration from the cli by changing Mesos versions or Agent resources. Therefore we introduced the `minimesosFile`. Additionally, we added the `minimesos init` command to generate a default configuration that can be changed before running `up`. Check out Viktor's ([@sadovnikov](https://twitter.com/sadovnikov)) video on the minimesos blog:

# What's next?

The focus of the next version of minimesos, 0.8.0 is [service discovery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_discovery). The goal is that frameworks and processes running on minimesos can find each other automatically. Currently, when installing a framework via Marathon it is necessary to put hardcoded IP addresses of the Zookeeper container in the JSON file. Our aim is to setup a standardized address for Zookeeper so this name can be used inside the Marathon JSON file.
