This repository contains Capistrano deployment scripts for applications running on GOV.UK.
We're in the process of moving our deployment code from a private repo to this one.
See the documentation in the manual.
The jenkins.sh
script in this repo is run from the
Jenkins job
to deploy our applications.
The files in alphagov-deployment for each application are
copied to a secrets
directory during the deploy so that they are available to
the Capistrano deploy scripts. (This is a deprecated mechanism for setting
environment-specific configuration and should not be used for new configuration -
use environment variables instead.)
Deployments to all environments use the master
branches of this repository
and of alphagov-deployment.
There are a number of environment variables set in Jenkins that can be used in deploy scripts:
DEPLOY_TO
- the environment being deployed toDEPLOY_TASK
- the deploy task selected in the Jenkins interface ("deploy", "deploy:setup", etc)TAG
- the tag/branch entered in the Jenkins interface ("release", "release_1234", "build-1234", etc)ORGANISATION
- The vCloud organisation being deployed toCI_DEPLOY_JENKINS_API_KEY
- API key used to fetch build artefacts from ci.dev.publishing.service.gov.uk.
