This project contains worked examples demonstrating deployment pipelines from Github to Cloud Foundry
It is the source material for a presentation I made about Concourse at the Office for National Statistics.
If you want to quickly play with some Concourse pipelines, you're welcome to fork this repository (you'll need to do this if you want your commits to trigger pipeline activity).
Install these components on your machine:
- Docker
- The
flyCLI (https://concourse-ci.org/download.html)
Get yourself a Cloud Foundry account. You may already have one of these, but if you don't you can register for a trial account at (https://run.pivotal.io).
Go to (https://github.com/concourse/concourse-docker). Download the docker-compose-quickstart.yml file,
renaming it to docker-compose.yml. Then run:
docker-compose up
That will kick off Concourse on your local machine, running in Docker. You can kill it in the normal docker-compose way, but be aware that when you restart, any installed pipelines will have been lost. That said, it's so easy to add the pipeline back in again.
The example-params.yml file shows you the parameters that the example pipelines require. Copy and edit this file, inserting your Cloud Foundry credentials and the URLs that your apps will listen on. In my repo, it's configured for Pivotal Web Services.
The app URLs are defined in the manifest files (under go-api and web-app folders) as the
Hostname: parameters.
Assuming your params.yml was saved to the top-level directory, it's pretty easy:
fly -t local login
fly -t local set-pipeline -p demo -c ci/pipelines/001.unit-test.yml -l params.yml
You can log into your Concourse on (http://localhost:8080). The Docker version doesn't require authentication.
Commit and push a change to (go-api/main.go), for example and watch the pipeline go.
Note: Concourse polls the git repo for latest commit changes, and could take 30s or so to trigger.
