Projects using Docker containers

Docker containers offer a wide range of benefit, allowing to QA, deploy with the exact same versions on dev / staging / prod.

Containers need to be built, hosted and shared between the various environments and benefit from having a centralized architecture.

Requirements

You need the following set and available:

• Project’s Pipelines instance + admin access (see [[Pipelines]])
• A server capable of running Docker containers

Steps

• Add the project to Wiredcraft Docker registry:
  • Create a project
  • Create users for that project
  • Update permissions of current users to access the new project
  • (optional) Set replication to China
• Configure the project’s Pipelines:
  • (optional) Add secret file to read data from the vault
  • Add the pipelines to build the containers
  • Add the pipelines to deploy the containers on the remote servers
  • (optional) Add Webhook support for auto-build / auto-deploy

Sit down and relax (or start coding!); you can now enjoy your platform being updated automatically (via webhook) or triggered manually by a simple button.

Sample pipelines

TBD

Extra notes to include

• {cust}-build: R/W to registry US - {cust} to be replaced by the real customer name
• {cust}-deploy: R/O from registry US + CN
• sync: R/W on all projects - used only for replication
• {cust} should also match the pipelines name
• https://pipelines-{cust}.service.wiredcraft.com/keys: must be included to the wcladmin user (or other user)
