I've set up my own Gitlab server with one project and a Gitlab runner configured for it. I'm new to continuous integration server and therefore don't know how to accomplish the following.
Every time I commit to the master branch of my project I would like to deploy the repository to another server and run two shell-commands there (npm install
and forever restartall
)
How would I do this? Do I need a runner on the machine which the project is deployed to as well?
You could use gitlab-ci and gitlab-runner [runners.ssh] to deploy to single or mutiple servers.
the flow:
(git_project with yml file) --> (gitlab && gitlab-ci) --> (gitlabrunner) ---runners.ssh---> (deployed_server,[deploye_server2])
you need register gitlab-runner to gitlab-ci and set the tag to delpoyServer on gitlab web . /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml:
[[runners]]
url = "http://your.gitlab.server/ci"
token = "1ba879596cf3ff778ee744e6decedd"
name = "deployServer1"
limit = 1
executor = "ssh"
builds_dir = "/data/git_build"
[runners.ssh]
user = "you_user_name"
host = "${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP1}"
port = "22"
identity_file = "/home/you_user_name/.ssh/id_rsa"
[[runners]]
url = "http://your.gitlab.server/ci"
token = "1ba879596cf3ff778ee744e6decedd"
name = "deployServer2"
limit = 1
executor = "ssh"
builds_dir = "/data/git_build"
[runners.ssh]
user = "you_user_name"
host = "${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP2}"
port = "22"
identity_file = "/home/you_user_name/.ssh/id_rsa"
the runner.ssh means, the runner will login into ${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP1}
and ${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP2}
, then clone the project to builds_dir
.
write the yml file for example: .gitlab-ci.yml
job_deploy:
stage: deploy
tags: delpoyServer1
script:
- npm install && forever restartall
job_deploy:
stage: deploy
tags: delpoyServer2
script:
- npm install && forever restartall
set the your gitlab-runner to delpoyServer1
and delpoyServer2
tags in 'http://your.gitlab.server/ci/admin/runners'
.gitlab-ci.yml
file in your project, choose a runner with the tags: deployServer1
or deployServer2
; gitlab-runner
with the deployServer1 tag will login into ${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP1}
and ${the_destionation_of_deployServer_IP2}
with ssh , clone the project to builds_dir
, then execute you script: npm install && forever restartall.link:
