Description

This Ansible role deploys a Docker Compose setup defined in specified repo.

It also can keep this setup up-to-date by handling GitHub webhooks.

Configuration

The basic configuration could define following parameters:

compose_repo_service_name: 'service-abc'
compose_repo_service_user: 'abc'
compose_repo_url: 'https://github.com/example-org/service-abc'
compose_repo_branch: 'master'
compose_repo_webhook_secret: 'super-secret-webhook-secret'
compose_repo_env_link_src: '{{ compose_repo_path }}/deploy.env'

The Docker images used are controlled by env variables defined in the docker-compose.yml in the source repo. Optionally images can be monitored and auto-updated using Watchtower. To do that the com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable label needs to be set to true.

The rest of the configuration comes from .env file which is symlinked by default to custom.env from the repo.

Management

The setup consists of two services:

• service-abc-compose - Runs Docker Compose which starts all containers.
• service-abc-webhook - Runs Python script that watches for repo changes.

Compose

This service simply runs the compose command that starts the containers.

 > sudo systemctl status -o cat service-abc-compose
● service-abc-compose.service - "Service that runs Docker Compose for a custom repo."

Webhook

This service updates the service-abc repo and re-creates the containers:

 > sudo systemctl status -o cat service-abc-webhook
● service-abc-webhook.service - "GitHub Webhook server for updating Git repos"
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/service-abc-webhook.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
