Shell to Python Continuous Deployment

Get a common set of Python based 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 commands and package names
  • 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
  • ref names for deployment contexts of feature, staging & release
  • alternate locations of
    • Operating Systems & Software packages
    • Git repositories of
      • this project
      • its parent framework
      • projects not available in some distributions
        • shunit2
  • 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

Integration & Deployment

Shell

  • setting up the chosen Operating System container
    • Domain Name System resolving
    • package manager configuration & repositories
    • Certificate Authorities trusting
    • Operating System updating
  • installing Git to clone
    • this project
    • its parent framework
  • installing both Python
    • system environment
    • virtual environment
  • generating a Python module to switch context

Python

  • setting up an OpenSSH client
    • known hosts
    • private key
  • and finally parsing commands from
    • system
    • workflow
  • to run available actions
    • check project
    • build project
    • browse workspace
    • synchronize

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
