Swarm Based Deployment

Here we'll deploy our pipeline in the Docker Container using compose.

Pre-requisites:

  • Jenkins Server for running pipelines
  • Hashicorp Vault for storing secrets
  • Docker Swarm (This could be your localhost as well)
  • 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, docker-compose & Ansible

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

  • Now run the compose file to deploy Jenkins, registry & vault

docker compose up -d

  • Configure Vault token

    • Configure the script(set_env.sh) if you want to change the registry username/password

    registry credentials image

    Note: This will store the registry username & password inside the vault

    • Save the inital root token & unseal keys Securely for future use-cases

    • Note:This script will mount the file containing the Registry Username & Password inside the Jenkins container for pushing to registry

    • Now run the Script

      chmod +x ./scripts/set_env.sh
      ./scripts/set_env.sh

  • Configure Jenkins Credentials for Private Registry

    Update the Credentials in Jenkins:

    Dashboard > RCW > deploy-staging > Credentials > docker-server > Update with https://nginx-reverse-proxy:80 -u <registry_username> -p <registry_password>, use port 443 if you are using SSL

  • SSL Configuration for Nginx(Optional)

    • Copy the SSL certificates and paste it inside the nginx_config/ssl folder

    • Now run the script

      chmod +x ./scripts/set_up_ssl.sh
      ./scripts/set_up_ssl.sh

    • This script will store the ssl certs content inside the Vault as KV(key value) and keep as environment variable inside the Nginx container

  • Deploy Swarm and other Services

    • Copy the hostname and paste in inside the inventory/hosts folder

    • Copy this command the paste this inside the script section inside the jenkins job

    ansible-playbook -i ./ansible_workspace_dir/inventory/hosts ./ansible_workspace_dir/main.yml
    • Now Jenkins will run ansible playbook after the build has been successful

Adding Ansible Roles for Services

  • Run the Script

chmod +x /scripts/roles.sh
./scripts/roles.sh

  • Give the name of the role

    eg. monitoring

  • Now give the variables for that role

    eg. no. of replicas : 1/2/3
