Swarm Based Deployment

To get started with setting up the DevOps Pipeline.

Pre-requisites:

• Jenkins Server for running pipelines
• Hashicorp Vault for storing secrets
• Private Docker Registry
• Ansible for deploying swarm nodes

Setting up the Pipeline

• Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/SamagraX-RCW/devops.git

• Run the scripts to install Docker Ansible and Vault Cli

chmod +x ./scripts/setup.sh
./scripts/setup.sh

• Install and Start Jenkins Service

chmod +x ./scripts/jenkins_init.sh
./scripts/jenkins_init.sh

• Configure Jenkins Credentials for Private Registry

  • Update the Registry Credentials in Jenkins:

    Dashboard > RCW > deploy-staging > Credentials > docker-server

    Update with https://nginx-reverse-proxy:80, also create new credentials for registry username and password**

  • Update the job credentials for anisble deployment

    Dashboard > RCW > deploy-staging > credentials/identity/schema > configure

  • Add Vault Server Address and Token Secret

    Dashboard > Manage Jenkins > System > System > Environment Variables

    Add VAULT_TOKEN and VAULT_ADDR

• Install Vault, Nginx and Registry

chmod  +x ./scripts/install_jenkins_vault_registry
./scripts/install_jenkins_vault_registry

• Create Swarm nodes and deploy RCW Services

ansible-playbook -i ./ansible_workspace_dir/inventory/hosts ./ansible_workspace_dir/main.yml 

• Configure Vault

  • Run the makefile to init the vault & generate unseal tokens

  make start

  Note: This will store the registry username & password (admin/admin) inside the vault

  • Run the script to get registry username and password from vault

  chmod +x ./scripts/get_secrets.sh
  ./scripts/get_secrets.sh
