Deploying

We use SemaphoreCI to deploy to test and production

Test

Deploying to https://rsr.akvotest.org is done automatically once a PR is merged to master.

Production

Currently, we use the master branch to promote changes to production. This a manual operation.

In order to deploy to production, the docker image must exist in the docker registry. At the moment, this is all tied to Akvo’s private, docker registry on Google Cloud.

The docker image is created during the deployment to the test environment or simply by merging into master.

Commands

Requirements

  • A token from zulip to send messages to the channel.

  • Access to Google Cloud (ask somebody from the DevOps team)

export ZULIP_TOKEN="YOURTOKENHERE"
ci/promote-test-to-prod.sh
