Environments

Environments

Environments are deployment targets

CI variables can be scoped to environments

(Hint: Environments can also be assigned using branch names)

Hands-On

1. Retrieve passwords for dev and live environments:

    docker ps --filter "label=com.docker.compose.service=nginx" --quiet \
    | xargs -I{} docker logs {} \
    | grep "Password for "
   

2. Create unprotected CI variable PASS twice with scope dev/live
3. Create unprotected CI variable SEAT_INDEX with your seat number
4. Add new stage and job called deploy
5. Upload to WebDAV server using curl
6. Create branches dev and live
7. Download from https://dev.seatN.inmylab.de/hello and live
