Build & Deploy

This page explains how to build the necessary Docker images and deploy them to your provisioned Kubernetes cluster of choice.

DigitalOcean (DOKS)​

Build Docker images​

Your DigitalOcean infrastructure should now be in place and you should have an authenticated doctl cli client installed. It's time to build and deploy the app.

  1. Authenticate your DevOps machine using doctl to be able to push images to your registry (if you haven't already done so)

    doctl registry login

  2. Build/download all necessary Docker images

    cd deployment
    chmod +x ./build.sh
    ./build.sh -e production

  3. Tag images

    docker tag localhost:5000/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_accounts:v0.0.1 registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_accounts:v0.0.1
    docker tag localhost:5000/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_api:v0.0.1 registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_api:v0.0.1
    docker tag localhost:5000/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_app:v0.0.1 registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_app:v0.0.1
    docker tag localhost:5000/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_marketing:v0.0.1 registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_marketing:v0.0.1

  4. Push images to registry

    docker push registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_accounts:v0.0.1
    docker push registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_api:v0.0.1
    docker push registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_app:v0.0.1
    docker push registry.digitalocean.com/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-container-registry/{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}_marketing:v0.0.1

Start containers​

Modify values in deployment/helm/values-production.yaml to match your production values (database.address, database.sslMode, image.repository).

  1. Start containers by installing Appcket to cluster via Helm Chart in deployment folder

    helm package helm
    helm install {PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME} ./{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-0.1.0.tgz -n {PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME} -f helm/values-production.yaml --dry-run --debug
    helm install {PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME} ./{PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME}-0.1.0.tgz -n {PROJECT_MACHINE_NAME} -f helm/values-production.yaml
danger

The default Admin username and password is admin/admin. Please immediately login to accounts.{PROJECT_NAME}.com and change this to something strong! You can also change the username and password for the dummy user accounts at this time and store them in your teams password manager.

tip

You're pods should now be running and available in the browser

  1. https://appcket.com
  2. https://accounts.appcket.com
  3. https://api.appcket.com
  4. https://app.appcket.com

Amazon (EKS)​

Help is needed here to document the steps for deploying to Amazon; similar to the DigitalOcean steps above.
