Current Status of CI/CD in the Project

As of now, CI/CD for the docker/go-metrics project is not yet set up. This section provides next steps to implement CI/CD processes using popular CI/CD platforms.

Next Steps for Setting Up CI/CD

1. Choose a CI/CD Platform
   Common choices include GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Travis CI, and GitLab CI. Select one based on your project’s coding and deployment needs.

2. Create Configuration Files
   Depending on the chosen platform, you will need to create configuration files to define the CI/CD workflow. Below are examples for GitHub Actions and Travis CI.

Example: GitHub Actions Configuration

Create a file named .github/workflows/ci.yml in your repository:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    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' # specify the Go version

    - name: Build
      run: go build -v ./...

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

Example: Travis CI Configuration

Create a file named .travis.yml in your repository:

language: go
go:
  - "1.17" # specify the Go version

script:
  - go build -v ./...
  - go test -v ./...

3. Configure Secrets (if needed)
   If your project requires securing credentials or tokens, configure environment secrets in your CI platform following its documentation.

4. Integrate Docker (Optional)
   If there are Docker components to your project, you can integrate Docker into your CI/CD pipeline.

For GitHub Actions, this would add a job to build and push the Docker image:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

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

    - name: Build Docker image
      run: docker build -t your_docker_image_name .
      
    - name: Push Docker image
      run: |
        echo "${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}" | docker login -u "${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}" --password-stdin
        docker push your_docker_image_name

5. Trigger Deployment
   Set up deployment triggers based on your criteria (e.g., pushing a tag or merging into a specific branch). Include the necessary scripts or commands to handle the deployment.

6. Monitor the Pipeline
   Regularly check the CI/CD pipeline for failures or issues. Adjust configuration as necessary to streamline the process.

By following these steps, a robust CI/CD process can be established for docker/go-metrics, enhancing automation and reliability in the development workflow.
