Continuous Deployment with GitLab

Backend Setup

  • Generate a ssh key with ssh-keygen
  • Add the private key as a secret environment variable "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" on GitLab CI (Settings => CI/CD => Secret Variables)
  • Add the public key to the user ansible connects with (.ssh/authorized_keys)
  • Uncomment the deploy_staging stage in you .gitlab-ci.yml and configure it:
    • Add deploy_staging as a stage on the top of the file
    • Set the only key to the branch you want the automatic deploy to execute when pushed to
    • Set the last parameter of script: "bash scripts/deploy.sh <system> to the name of your Ansible server/environment

Frontend

If you deploy your JavaScript Single Page App frontend with django-ansible, you can configure a trigger on its repo to run the deployment configured in the backend repository.

On your backend repository:

  • Add a Pipeline trigger under Settings => CI/CD => Pipeline triggers

On your frontend repository: On GitLab, configure the Secret Variables BACKEND_CI_TRIGGER_TOKENand BACKEND_CI_TRIGGER_URL based on the trigger created on the backend repository.

Add the following stage to your .gitlab-ci.yml file and reference it on the stages: section:

deploy_staging:
  stage: deploy_staging
  tags:
   - shell
   - lxc
  script: "curl -X POST -F token=$BACKEND_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN -F ref=develop $BACKEND_CI_TRIGGER_URL"
  only: [develop]
