# data.coop infrastructure
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the code used to deploy data.coop's services
|
|
and websites. We use Ansible to encode our infrastructure setup. Only
|
|
the association's administrators have access to deploy the services.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying
|
|
|
|
To deploy the services, the included `deploy.sh` script can be used. The
|
|
Ansible playbook uses two custom-made roles (in the `roles/` directory).
|
|
The script has options to deploy only one of the roles, which are namely
|
|
`ubuntu_base` and `docker`, the latter of which is for deploying the
|
|
services themselves using Docker containers. Select services only can
|
|
also be specified. By default, the script deploys everything.
|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of the options that can be used with the script:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh # deploy everything
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh base # deploy the ubuntu_base role only
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh services # deploy the docker role only
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh services SINGLE_SERVICE # deploy SINGLE_SERVICE Docker service only
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`SINGLE_SERVICE` should match one of the filenames in
|
|
`roles/docker/tasks/services/**/*`, but without the `.yml` extension.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
In order for us to be able to test our setup locally, we use Vagrant to
|
|
deploy the services in a virtual machine. To do this, Vagrant and
|
|
VirtualBox must both be installed on the development machine. Then, the
|
|
services can be deployed locally by using the `vagrant` command-line
|
|
tool. The working directory needs to be the root of the repository for
|
|
this to work properly.
|
|
|
|
> Note: As our secrets are contained in an Ansible Vault file, only the
|
|
> administrators have the ability to run the deployment in Vagrant.
|
|
> However, one could replace the vault file for testing purposes.
|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of the commands that are available with the `vagrant`
|
|
command-line tool:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ vagrant up # Create and provision the VM
|
|
$ vagrant provision # Re-provision the VM
|
|
$ vagrant ssh # SSH into the VM
|
|
$ vagrant halt # Power down the VM
|
|
$ vagrant destroy # Power down and delete the VM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `vagrant` command-line tool does not support supplying extra
|
|
variables to Ansible on runtime, so to be able to deploy only parts of
|
|
the Ansible playbook to Vagrant, the `deploy.sh` script can be used with
|
|
the `--vagrant` flag. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh --vagrant base # deploy the ubuntu_base role only in the Vagrant VM
|
|
$ ./deploy.sh --vagrant services SINGLE_SERVICE # deploy SINGLE_SERVICE Docker service only in the Vagrant VM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the `--vagrant` flag should be the first argument when using
|
|
the script.
