Setting up CI CD for Admins

Documented below are the steps you will need to take on the Services VM to enable a new application to use the ABAIR CI/CD pipeline

1. Create Directory For Project​

sudo mkdir /home/services/project-name

2. Add Deploy Script to Directory​

  • Replace the password {see elsewhere} with the admin password you can find in ABAIR CI/CD.

deploy-project-name.sh

docker stop project-name
docker rm project-name

docker login 10.0.0.2:5000 -u admin -p {see elsewhere}
docker rmi 10.0.0.2:5000/project-name:main
docker pull 10.0.0.2:5000/project-name:main

docker run -t -d -p port:port --restart always --name project-name 10.0.0.2:5000/project-name:main

3. Generate SSH Keys​

In order for the new GitHub Action to be able to SSH into the Services VM it needs its own private key.

Recommended: Use the generate-ssh-key.sh script which automates the steps below and prints the private key for easy copying.

Manual steps:​

sudo su services

# Generate the key pair (replace project-name with actual name)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/project-name_ed25519 -C "project-name Github Action" -N ""

# Add public key to authorized_keys so the VM accepts this key
cat ~/.ssh/project-name_ed25519.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

# Print the private key to send to developer
cat ~/.ssh/project-name_ed25519

Send the private key to the developer to add as SSH_PRIVATE_KEY in GitHub.
