Tapis Deployer
The Tapis Deployer software generates scripts for deploying and manging a Tapis installation.
Tapis Deployer is based on the Ansible project. Currently, Tapis Deployer targets Kubernetes clusters
for deployment of Tapis services, but we plan to support using Docker Compose instead of Kubernetes
in a future release.
User Documentation
Full documentation is being developed for Tapis Deployer on the Tapis ReadTheDocs site. See
the Deployment & Administration Guide.
Developer Documentation
Developer Guide
- Create a branch off of the dev branch
- Optional: Name it after your new feature or change, i.e. "refactor-tapisui"
- Make and commit your changes to your branch
- For example, to increase the image version for the Apps API images, edit the file
playbooks/roles/apps/defaults/main/images.yml
- Include a note about your changes in the CHANGELOG.md.
- Link to your component's CHANGELOG.md details for the new version. For example:
- Note Your changes could affect other services, so please be sure to describe these issues in CHANGELOG.md, especially if there are breaking changes or if your require additional steps for upgrade.
- Create a Pull Request from your branch against the source (dev).
Getting Changes into a Tapis Deployer Release
- Once your changes are in dev branch (see above), Testers/Admins/Maintainers can then deploy and test your changes amongst various environments.
- This should be accompanied by an increase in the
baseburnup_tapis_deployer_version variable in playbooks/roles/baseburnup/defaults/main/vars.yml (Maintainers do this.)
- After successful testing and combined with other devs' changes, dev branch will be merged with staging in preparation for a release.
- After successful testing in staging branch, it will be merged into main by Tapis Deployer Maintainers and a new release will be created.
