Introduction

This document outlines the CI/CD workflow for the Daytona project. As of now, the project does not have a CI/CD setup implemented. Below are recommended next steps to establish Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment practices for the Daytona project.

Current Status

It is important to note that there is no CI/CD system currently configured for the Daytona project. The absence of a CI/CD workflow means that automated testing, building, and deployment processes are not yet in place.

Next Steps to Implement CI/CD

To set up a CI/CD pipeline for the Daytona project, consider the following steps:

1. Choose a CI/CD Platform: Evaluate options such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI. Each platform has unique features and capabilities.

2. Create Configuration Files: Depending on the chosen platform, create the necessary configuration files to define the CI/CD workflow, typically in YAML format.

3. Set Up Continuous Integration:

   • Define the build and test processes in the configuration file, ensuring that the Go modules and specific file constraints are respected.
   • Implement a testing framework for running unit tests that adhere to the testing build constraint.

4. Configure Continuous Deployment:

   • Set up procedures for deploying the application after successful builds and tests.
   • Utilize Docker for containerization as indicated in the Dockerfile setup.

5. Monitor and Iterate: Continuously monitor the CI/CD pipeline and iterate to improve processes based on feedback and performance metrics.

Example Configuration

The following code snippets illustrate potential setup examples for a CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions. Modify them to suit specific requirements.

YAML Configuration for GitHub Actions

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Set up Go
      uses: actions/setup-go@v2
      with:
        go-version: '^1.17'

    - name: Build
      run: |
        go build -o daytona ./...

    - name: Test
      run: |
        go test -tags testing ./...

Dockerfile Usage

As part of the CI/CD pipeline, the existing Dockerfile can be leveraged to create a containerized environment for running the application. Here is the existing Dockerfile that setup can utilize:

FROM ubuntu:22.04

RUN apt update -y && \
    apt install curl libgit2-1.1 -y

USER daytona

ENTRYPOINT ["sudo", "dockerd"]

Integrating the Docker build process into the CI/CD workflow ensures consistency across development, testing, and deployment phases.

Conclusion

Initiating a CI/CD process for the Daytona project will enhance the automation of testing, building, and deploying the application, fostering a more reliable and efficient workflow. The steps outlined above serve as a guide to start setting up the necessary infrastructure.
