gitlab and CI

[changtimwu]

gitlab

• documents: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/
• oauth github for migration
  • user association with github git history
• an new user should
• basic concepts: member, group, project, menu convention

  gitlab in docker

• 1G memory required. DigitalOcean $10/mo not enough memory. Add swap.

fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
echo "/swapfile   none    swap    sw    0   0" >> /etc/fstab
free -m

• follow steps here. Now it's 8.5.1.
• master docker-compose
  • up -d and down
• docker-compose.yml
• docker-compose logs
• mail by mailgun. Creating new mail account gitadmin without google.
• caddy for virtual hosting
• backup directory

  gitlab-ci

• documents: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/
• runner on host
• gitlab-ci.yml syntax: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html
• cache
• example project
• the thoughts behind gitlab-ci is really worth to read

[changtimwu]

• gitlab runner document( It's different than CI's doc):
  • official
  • github clone( much better looking)

cache between jobs from docker executor https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/blob/master/docs/configuration/advanced-configuration.md#the-runnersdocker-section

http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html Notice: read through the artifacts and catche sections

Artificacts: The artifacts will be send after a successful build success to GitLab, and will be accessible in the GitLab UI to download. Where?

tutum shows the streamline of deployment. github->circle ci-> docker hub-> tutum. I would be great if there is a similar for gitlab ci. http://blog.tutum.co/2015/06/10/node-js-and-continuous-deployment-with-circleci-docker-hub-and-tutum/

yes i got one for gitlab-ci. https://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/ci-cd-with-docker-containers/

tutum's way manages HAproxy is quite fantastic. nginx can do so via the VIRTUAL_HOST env. That idea is great. Generating nginx config file with a templating tool(docker-gen) written in go from all containers' envs.
