Github Actions

This project contains pipelines for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) of a sample application.

CI Pipeline

The CI pipeline automates the build, testing, and versioning processes for the application. It consists of the following stages:

1. Bump Version and Tagging: This stage automatically increments the version and creates a new tag for the repository.

2. Update Version in pom.xml: This stage updates the version in the pom.xml file and commits the changes.

3. Validate and Test with Maven: This stage runs Maven to validate and test the application.

4. Docker Build and Push: This stage builds a Docker image of the application and pushes it to Docker Hub.

5. Create PR to Master Branch: If the CI pipeline succeeds, this stage creates a pull request to merge the changes into the master branch.

CD Pipeline

The CD pipeline automates the deployment of the application to a remote server. It is triggered when changes are pushed to the master branch. The pipeline consists of the following stages:

1. Setup SSH: This stage sets up SSH access to the target server using the provided private key.

2. Connect to EC2 Instance and Deploy: This stage connects to the EC2 instance, logs in to Docker Hub, pulls the latest Docker image, stops and removes existing containers, and deploys the updated application.

Prerequisites

Before running the CD pipeline, make sure you have the following secrets set up in your GitHub repository:

• SSH_PRIVATE_KEY: SSH private key for accessing the target server.
• EC2_INSTANCE_IP: IP address of the target EC2 instance.
• DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD: Docker Hub password for logging in to Docker Hub.

Usage

To use these pipelines, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the necessary secrets are set up in your GitHub repository.
2. Push changes to the development branch to trigger the CI pipeline.
3. Merge changes into the master branch to trigger the CD pipeline.
