CImple

CImple is a very simple CI server, but split in multiple pieces in a way that is interesting to deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster, because it requires an understanding of several kubernetes concepts to be deployed successfully.

Here's the software architecture:

Running with docker compose

It is possible to run CImple quickly by running the following command:

docker-compose up

Notice that this docker compose requires mounting /var/run/docker.dock and that the backend run as root. Usually, this is not recommended, but this is required for Traefik to set up the domains and for the backend to launch docker containers to run the tasks.

Once the application is up, the following URLs will become available:

• front.cimple.localhost : the application main frontend
• back.cimple.localhost : the application backend
• eviewer.cimple.localhost : the "event viewer" is a simple "auditing" tool

Limits of the docker compose version

This version is not capable of running scheduled tasks.
