Shell to Python Continuous Deployment

Get a common set of Python CI & CD commands
from various contexts of CA, DNS, CI and OS / OCI.


Why

Project workflows can occur in:

  • an online or offline context, dealing with custom CA & DNS servers
  • various Continuous Integration platforms, with different workflow syntaxes
  • specific Operating Systems, having different sets of commands and packages
  • specific containers for JavaScript based actions (ForgeJo, Gitea, GitHub)

What if there was a unified way to do so?


How

Picture it…

Group environment variables

  • numbered
    • Certificate Authority armored certificates
    • Domain Name System servers IP addresses
  • set group environment variables for
    • ref names for deployment contexts of feature, staging & release
    • alternate locations of
      • Git repositories of this project & its parent framework
      • Operating Systems & Software packages
    • SSH key & hosts for deployments
    • a standalone POSIX shell script payload

Workflow files

  • calling the POSIX shell script payload as their very first step
  • using a unified YAML syntax made of actions implemented in Python

Continous Integration & Deployment

  • configuring the Operating System container
  • installing Python system & virtual environments

What

Features

Handle project workflows in a unified way:

  • whether the network infrastructure is

    • online
    • offline with custom
      • Certificate Authorities
      • Domain Name System servers
  • whatever the Continuous Integration platform

    • ForgeJo
    • Gitea
    • GitHub
    • GitLab
    • SourceHut
