StrongMind Deployment

What?

Deployment scripts for StrongMind, using Pulumi.

Development

Write pytest tests for functionality you need. When you need to use this with real AWS resources in a development environment, you'll need to follow these steps.

• Log your shell into the AWS account you're test deploying to (If you don't already have access keys set up, you can find how to do this in the Amazon SSO portal, under "Programmatic Access")
• Find the relevant container image you're deploying from ECR. (Choose the relevant project container, then the image tag, and then copy the URI field).
• Find the Rails Master Key for that project. Usually this is kept in the github actions secrets for that project.
• Get the cloudflare API token and pulumi state passwords from bitwarden if you have access, or get this from devops otherwise.
• Use these to construct an environment in your preferred fashion with the following keys
  • CONTAINER_IMAGE
  • RAILS_MASTER_KEY
  • CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN
  • PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE
• In the project that you are testing with, in the infrastructure directory, there will be a requirements.txt file. In order to use your development code, rather than the published version of this library, you will need to change the line that says "strongmind_deployment" to -e /path/to/this/directory, using the directory that this README is located in.
• Reinstall the requirements in your pulumi infrastructure directory. Usually this looks like

source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

You can now use pulumi commands like pulumi preview and pulumi up to make changes.

We usually use the frozen-desserts application to do simple tests of a non-production application.
