docker / go-events

The current state of CI/CD integration in the Docker/Go-Events project is that it is not yet set up. Below are recommended next steps to implement a CI/CD pipeline.

Next Steps for CI/CD Setup

  1. Repository Setup: Ensure that the project is hosted on a version control platform like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. This enables integration with CI/CD tools.

  2. Select CI/CD Tool: Choose a CI/CD tool compatible with your repository. Popular options include:

    • GitHub Actions
    • GitLab CI/CD
    • CircleCI
    • Travis CI

  3. Create Configuration File: Define a configuration file specific to the selected CI/CD tool. This file will instruct the CI/CD tool on how to build and deploy your application.

Example Configuration with GitHub Actions

# .github/workflows/ci-cd.yaml
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: '1.16' # specify your Go version

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: go mod download

      - name: Run tests
        run: go test ./...

      - name: Build Docker image
        run: |
          docker build -t my-go-events-app .

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build

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

      - name: Log in to Docker Hub
        uses: docker/login-action@v1
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}

      - name: Push Docker image
        run: |
          docker tag my-go-events-app:latest my-docker-user/my-go-events-app:latest
          docker push my-docker-user/my-go-events-app:latest

Key Components Explained

  • Workflow Trigger: The pipeline is triggered on pushes to the main branch.

  • Build Job: This job assembles the application by checking out the code, setting up the Go environment, installing dependencies, running tests, and building the Docker image.

  • Deploy Job: This job depends on the completion of the build job. It logs into Docker Hub using credentials stored as secrets in the GitHub repository and pushes the Docker image.

  1. Secrets Management: Store any sensitive information, such as API keys or credentials, in the CI/CD tool’s secrets management feature. In the above example, DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_PASSWORD should be stored as secrets in GitHub.

  2. Testing: It’s crucial to ensure thorough testing is integrated into the CI/CD process, such as running unit tests and integration tests.

  3. Documentation: Once implemented, update any relevant project documentation to include details about the CI/CD pipeline and its configuration.

Following these steps can ensure that the Docker/Go-Events project transitions smoothly into a CI/CD deployment strategy, enhancing the automation and efficiency of the software development lifecycle.
