Gitlab

With GitLab CI it is incredibly easy to build a Hugo website (like mine); you can even host it there. But in my case I use AWS S3 and Cloudfront because it is cheap and easy to setup. The CI pipeline to build and upload the static website is also straightforward with the following .gitlab-ci.yml: variables: GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive stages: - build - upload build: stage: build image: monachus/hugo script: - hugo version - hugo only: - master artifacts: paths: - ./public upload: stage: upload dependencies: - build image: dobdata/primo-triumvirato:v0.1.7 script: - aws --version - aws configure set region $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION - aws s3 sync --delete ./public s3://$S3_BUCKET only: - master The build stage generates the static website, which is shared with successive stages as an artifact. The upload stage uses my primo-triumvirato image, but this can be any image that has the aws cli installed. The sync --delete ... command recursively copies new and updated files from the source directory to the destination and deletes files that exist in the destination but not in the source. ...

Now that I have a number of pipelines running I would like to deploy these to Kubernetes through a service account. that is quite simple. As an admin user provide resources such as: the namespaces, optionally with limited resources; an isolated service account with restricted access to one namespace; an encoded config file to be used by the Gitlab pipeline. Service Account with permissions The following file serviceaccount.yaml creates the service account, a role, and attach that role to that account: ...

Gitlab-CI is awesomelishiously simple. Let’s assume you have a Terraform Gitlab project with a folder structure like mine: README.md .gitignore terraform │ main.tf │ outputs.tf └──variables.tf You can find a .gitignore example here. Since we can provide our credentials via environment variables, the provider can look like: provider "aws" { version = ">= 2.28.1" } In the Gitlab project page, go to “Settings” > “CI/CD” > “Variables”, and set the following variables: ...

For a project I was specifically asked to build an API using Python Django. So, my first starting point was to google “django cookiecutter” which immediately brought me to this amazing cookiecutter project. What I am going to demonstrate here is how to quickly setup the project (for the sake of completeness) and use Gitlab Continuous Integration to automatically unit test, run linters, generate documentation, build a container and release it. ...
