Walk-through of setting up Bamboo as CI and CD
Bamboo is a popular Atlassion product . Lets go setup bamboo and discuss what steps did I do.
- Install Bamboo on an EC2 instance
- Configure to run on Port 80 instead on its default.
- Make sure system has enough memory, I am using a m1.small instance.
- Bamboo has a startup script, use that , and make sure the permission thing.:P
- For CI -
- Checkout the code
- Used post push hook to automate the build plan on bamboo
- Install dependencies
- Remember to clean cache and remove the node_modules before installing
- Run tests
- Used Bamboo-mocha plugin for that. Ample doc is provided for that
- Thats it !!
- For CD -
- Setup the deployment Server -
- We are using Amazon Beanstalk,, our app being a Node.JS one.
- The deployment process is tricky. Manually we have to initialize the repo and feed in a lot of details. But to do it automatically
- Initialize the repository with the AWSDevTools-RepositorySetup.sh script. It will add git aliases . We will now have git aws.push command
- The deploy script searches for a file named aws_credentials_file, in the Home folder of the user in .elasticbeanstalk dir. So one task is to copy a file in home folder during each deployment.
- Rest is simple.
This blog also has a lot of important details that helped me - http://blog.pedago.com/2014/02/18/build-and-deploy-with-grunt-bamboo-and-elastic-beanstalk/
Next step to include Code Coverage .. Will mention it in next blog post.
