The CI/CD Pipelines feature automates the process of building, testing, and deploying applications efficiently. By integrating with version control repositories like GitHub and GitLab, it enables organisations to automate software delivery, minimizing manual intervention. This ensures that code changes are continuously integrated, tested, and deployed to production seamlessly, supporting a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflow.

​
🎯 How to Set Up CI/CD Pipelines

​
✅ Navigate to the CI/CD Pipelines Page

1️⃣ Navigate to Projects from the sidebar.

2️⃣ Select your Project and the corresponding Environment you want to initiate the setup for.

3️⃣ Click on the CI/CD Pipelines tab.

4️⃣ If no pipelines exist, the screen will display an option to create one.

5️⃣ Click Create New Pipeline or Setup New CI/CD Pipeline to begin.

Prerequisites for Setting Up a CI/CD Pipeline

📌 Integrated a Version Control System and Configured a Repository

To automate deployments, you need to integrate a version control system (e.g., GitHub ) and configure a repository. This ensures your source code is accessible for automated builds and deployments. If you haven’t linked a repository yet, follow the guide below: 👉 Set Up Version Control and Configure Your Repository

📌 Deploy a Konstack or App Service

Your pipeline may require a compute service (Konstack) or an App Service to deploy the application. Ensure you have deployed either before proceeding. If you haven’t set one up, refer to the following guides:

🔥 Deploy a Konstack

🔥 Deploy an App Service

Once these prerequisites are met, you can proceed with setting up your CI/CD Pipeline.

​
✅ Setting Up a New CI/CD Pipeline

1️⃣ Click Setup New CI/CD Pipeline.

2️⃣ Under Source, select:

  • Linked Repository (to deploy from GitHub or GitLab).

  • Docker Hub (for container-based deployments).

  • Database (for database-related CI/CD workflows).

3️⃣ Choose ‘Linked Respository’

  • Choose Repository Source (GitHub, GitLab, etc.).

  • Select your Organization Repository.

  • Select your Branch (e.g., main).

4️⃣ Select a Konstack (predefined infrastructure configurations).

5️⃣ Click ‘Continue’

​
✅ Configuring the Pipeline

1️⃣ Choose Build Settings:

  1. Build Method: Select Docker

  2. Build Command: Enter a command or upload a script.

  3. Docker Path: Define the directory containing Dockerfile.

2️⃣ Set Networking Options:

  1. Port: Specify the application’s port (e.g., 8080).

  2. Protocol: Choose TCP or UDP.

  3. Auto HTTPS & Public Access: Enable or disable security settings.

3️⃣ Add Environment Variables if available:

  1. Click New Environment Variable to securely pass configurations like API keys.

4️⃣ Define Lifecycle Commands:

  1. These commands execute during different deployment stages.

5️⃣ Click Deploy Pipeline to finalize the setup.

​
✅ Monitoring Deployment

Once deployed, users can track the pipeline’s execution in real time.

1️⃣ The CI/CD Pipelines tab will display:

  1. Commit Reference (latest commit triggering deployment).

  2. Pipeline Status (In Progress, Completed, Failed).

  3. Job Execution Details (active & pending jobs).

2️⃣ Viewing Logs for Each Job: Expand a job execution log to see:

  1. Runner version and environment details.

  2. Installed dependencies (e.g., Node.js, Yarn).

  3. Execution timeline for each step.
