can the /spec/ acceptance test files be used for automated integration?

[jhgorse]

Greetings,

Is it possible to use the files in the /spec/ directory to automate the integration of, for example, JIRA, postgresql, and nginx+reverse proxy?

I am somewhat new to Docker and so I am looking for the best ways integrate the elements that it provides in an automated way.

Cheers, Joe

I'm not sure about what you mean exactly.

I have made acceptance tests which does an automated setup process for various configurations which among others include Postgres+NGINX+reverseproxy.

It's a deliberate choice to keep the image as vanilla or close to the default install as possible with only support a few very commonly used or handy additional features. So to do a whole automated system (I'm guessing upgrading, healtchecking, failover etc.) it all up to you and how you choose to utilize Docker.

Yes, the acceptance tests are already used for a CI/CD environment for testing new version of the Docker images.

You should be able to test them yourself using bundle exec rspec assuming you have the environment set up, ie. Docker running on localhost and Ruby environment.
