Installation

On a server the client must be deployed i.e. in /opt/deployment-client/

Use git clone if you feel familiar with git. Otherwise download the archive and extract it.

Set up a software package

Set up access to software

This setting is for all projects on the server. It has to be done once.

• in ./bin directory copy getfile.sh.cfg.dist to getfile.sh.cfg
• edit getfile.sh.cfg and define software endpoint and set the phase:

IMLCI_URL=https://software.example.com
IMLCI_PKG_SECRET=put-secret-here
IMLCI_PHASE=preview

Set up rollout

• Create a subdirectory in ./profiles/ for each rollout
• The example subdir gives an orientation and can be copied, i.e. cp -r example myapp
• create a config file named ./profiles/myapp/config.sh

# my install dir
installdir=/var/www/myapp

# fileowner
# appowner="user:www-data"

# ----- settings for CI server software package 

# override global value 
# export IMLCI_PHASE=preview

# see output of
export IMLCI_PROJECT=id-in-ci-server

Make a testrun: ./deploy_app.sh in application root. It should download the software package and extract it and install it into you ${installdir}.

Add hooks

If needed you can create hook scripts. The working directory is ${installdir} that you can use relative pathes to point to your files in the the extracted sources.

• profiles/myapp/tasks_preinstall.sh - do something before extracting the archive.
• profiles/myapp/tasks_config.sh - replace config files (see below)
• profiles/myapp/tasks_postinstall.sh - do postinstall actions before finishing

Create configs

The script ./bin/create_config.sh can read config templates and create an output file.

You need to reference the template, output file and a file for replacement data.
