DevOps and DevSecOps study infrastructure setup scripts

Process

1. Edit server resources in deploy/arch.json

• location, title, hostname, CPU+RAM, HD

2. Edit up deploy/bootstrap.sh script

• SSH public key, hostname, partitioning, DNS servers, mirrors

• $ echo -n "username:password" | base64 > secrets/cloud_creds

4. Run helper script to create needed secret strings

• $ ./generate_secrets.sh

5. Deploy VM instance to cloud with API

• $ cd deploy; python deploy_server.py

6. Add DNS entries at your DNS service

• edit provision/config_files/gitlab.yml to reflect the domain name

7. Ansible-playbook: Set up firewall and other server configurations

• provision/server_config.yml

8. Install GitLab with Ansible

9. Configure GitLab further

• Log in to GitLab instance web UI as root and acquire needed tokens (api + shared runner registration)
• place them in secrets/ and encrypt them for ansible use
  • encrypt_tokens.sh
• provision/configure_gitlab.yml
