Server setup cd

Set the File name to Dockerfile and add these instructions to the file body:. The FROM instruction specifies the image to inherit from—in this case the nginx The nginx:latest tag references the latest Nginx release, but that could break your application in the future, which is why fixed versions are recommended.

The COPY instruction copies the index. In your deployment pipeline you want to log in to your server using SSH. The SSH private key is a very sensitive piece of data, because it is the entry ticket to your server.

Usually, the private key never leaves the system it was generated on. In the usual case, you would generate an SSH key on your host machine, then authorize it on the server that is, copy the public key to the server in order to log in manually and perform the deployment routine.

Therefore the private key needs to leave the system it was generated on and be given in trust to GitLab and other involved parties. You never want your private key to enter an environment that is not either controlled or trusted by you. Besides GitLab, the GitLab runner is yet another system that your private key will enter.

That means the deployment job will ultimately be executed on a GitLab runner, hence the private key will be copied to the runner such that it can log in to the server using SSH. Even though GitLab runners clean up all data after job execution, you can avoid sending the private key to unknown systems by registering your own server as a GitLab runner. The private key will then be copied to the server controlled by you. Download and inspect the install script:.

When you execute the previous command, the output will be like:. After executing the gitlab-runner register command, you will receive the following output:.

You are going to create a user that is dedicated for the deployment task. Enter a strong password and optionally any further user information you want to specify.

Finally confirm the user creation with Y. This permits deployer to execute the docker command, which is required to perform the deployment. Warning: Adding a user to the Docker group, grants privileges equivalent to the root user. For more details on how this has an impact on security in your system, see Docker Daemon Attack Surface.

You are going to create an SSH key for the deployment user. Next, generate a bit SSH key. It is important to answer the questions of the ssh-keygen command correctly:. To summarize, run the following command and confirm both questions with ENTER to create a bit SSH key and store it in the default location with an empty passphrase:. In particular, the values of file variables are stored in a file and the environment variable will contain the path to this file.

Copy the output to your clipboard. Fill out the form as follows:. However, the private key will never appear in the console log, which makes masking it obsolete. Create another variable with your server IP. Click Add Variable and fill out the form as follows:.

Finally, create a variable with the login user. The pipeline will build a Docker image and push it to the container registry. GitLab provides a container registry for each project. The final step in your pipeline is to log in to your server, pull the latest Docker image, remove the old container, and start a new container. Then set the File name to. Alternatively you can clone the repository and make all following changes to.

Each job is assigned to a stage. Jobs assigned to the same stage run in parallel if there are enough runners available. Stages will be executed in the order they were specified. Here, the publish stage will go first and the deploy stage second. Successive stages only start when the previous stage finished successfully that is, all jobs have passed.

Stage names can be chosen arbitrarily. When you want to combine this CD configuration with your existing CI pipeline, which tests and builds the app, you may want to add the publish and deploy stages after your existing stages, such that the deployment only takes place if the tests passed.

GitLab creates some predefined variables for each job that provide context specific information, such as the branch name or the commit hash the job is working on read more about predefined variable. Here you compose two environment variables out of predefined variables. They represent:. Will need to manually enter port settings. New window opens asking for more port information.

Click the Custom Radio button and open the Settings window. Select ok. Click Next, then Finish. Close all windows except for Devices and Windows dialog box. Right click on printer and select Printer Properties. It will be used in the next steps. Note that in this step you are leaving the standard USB connection printer in place in the event you ever need to remove the server and make direct USB connection again. Click Add a Printer in the Devices and Printers window.

Select Add a Local Printer. Configuration Manager has a process to deliver updates to the product from within the Configuration Manager console. To support this new method of updating Configuration Manager, a new folder is created named CD.

This folder contains a copy of the Configuration Manager installation files for the updated version of your site. The CD. Latest folder contains a folder named Redist , which contains the redistributable files that setup downloads and uses. These files are matched to the version of Configuration Manager files found in that CD. Latest folder. When you run Setup from a CD. Latest folder, you must use files that are matched to that version of Setup.

You can either direct Setup to download new and current files from Microsoft, or direct Setup to use the files from the Redist folder included in the CD. Baseline media doesn't include a Redist folder. The site doesn't create a Redist folder until you install an in-console update. In the meantime, use the Redist folder that you used when installing sites from the baseline media.

Make sure the redistributable files you use are current. If you haven't recently downloaded redistributable files, plan to allow Setup to do so from Microsoft.

The following scenarios create or update the CD. Latest folder on a central administration site or primary site server:. When you install an update or hotfix from within the Configuration Manager console, the site creates or updates the folder in the Configuration Manager installation folder.

When you run the built-in Configuration Manager backup task, the site creates or updates the folder under the designated backup folder location.
