The obscene docker-compose deploy with ansible cli

Project description

Deploying a docker-compose.yml

First, configure the dsn variable to have the user/host and path to store the compose files in. If not set, localhost in current working directory will be used:

export dsn=user@host:22/absolute/target/path

Then, run ansible-compose apply -f as you would with k8s:

ansible-compose apply -f ./docker-compose-example.yml -f ./examples/nginx.yml

Or, deploy from a url, just like kubectl apply would let you:

ansible-compose apply -f https://raw.git.../docker-compose.yml

Running commands on the compose of a target

Provide ssh configuration and target dir as first argument, then the docker-compose command:

export dsn=user@host:22/absolute/target/path
ansible-compose stop
ansible-compose start
ansible-compose logs
ansible-compose help

Transforms for docker-compose.yml on the CLI

Transforms apply on the docker-compose.yml as if it was a template we are going to render using environment variables.

Suppose that you start with such a docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.4'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    environment:
      base: here
      wrong: todrop

First, all build lines will be dropped. You will have to specify images with env vars ie.:

web_image=abc  # sets services[web][image]=abc

If you wanted to drop the environment line use the drop prefix:

drop_web_environment=  # dels services[web][environment]

You can also override deeper in the YAML tree:

web_environment_SECRET_TOKEN=yoursecret

Even for drop:

drop_web_environment_VERSION=

Or even drop a whole service:

drop_web=

You can however require all variables to have a particular prefix, ie:

dev_drop_mail=              # to prevent the mail service on dev branches
ansible_compose_prefix=dev  # to enable only variables starting with dev_

Don’t forget ansible-compose will also forward extraneous arguments to the ansible-playbook call beneath.

Automatic creation of volume dirs

It will try to automatically create the volume bind dirs for you. To set the uid and/or guid, set them as env vars, either in the compose.yml:

environment:
  uid: 1001
  gid: 100

Or with an env var:

web_environment_uid=1001

Installation

Local:

pip install --user ansible-compose
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

The current configuration in CI for image yourlabs/ansible-compose is:

  • ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=false

  • SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=our passwordless private key generated with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 and default options

  • SSH_INSECURE=true not checking any host key today !

Example gitlab ci job

deploy:
   stage: deploy
   image: yourlabs/ansible-compose
   variables:
   - dsn=deploy@example.com/home/staging
   script:
   - ansible-compose apply -f ./docker-compose.yml
