Build the new containers + +It starts with this file: `app/build/docker-compose.yml`. +Often, I update Riot Web and Synapse at the same time. +In the file, find the `riot` and `synapse` entries. +The only thing you need to do is to update the `VERSION` argument. +This argument is then used to template the Dockerfile. +The `VERSION` value should match a github release, the link to the corresponding release page is put as a comment next to the variable in the compose file. + +Next, we put tags on our images. +You need to increment it, for example: `superboum/amd64_riotweb:v17` will become `superboum/amd64_riotweb:v18`. +We use the docker hub to store our images, if you are not `superboum` you must change the name with your handle, eg. `john/amd64_riotweb:v18`. + +So, from now we expact you have: + - changed the `VERSION` value and `image` name/tag of `riot` + - changed the `VERSION` value and `image` name/tag of `synapse` + +You can now simply build and push the new images: + +```bash +docker-compose build riot synapse +``` + +And then send them to the docker hub: + +``` +docker-compose push riot synapse +``` + +Don't forget to commit and push your changes before doing anything else! + +## 2. Deploy the new containers + +Now, we will edit the deployment file `app/deployment/im.hcl`. + +Find where the image is defined in the file, for example in Riot, it will look like that: + + +```hcl + group "riotweb" { + count = 1 + + task "server" { + driver = "docker" + config { + image = "superboum/amd64_riotweb:v17" + port_map { + web_port = 8043 + } +``` + +And replace the `image =` entry with your image name. +Do the same thing for `synapse`. + +Now, you need a way to access the cluster to deploy this file. +To do this, you must bind nomad on your machine through a SSH tunnel. +Check the end of `README.md` to do it. +If you have access to the Nomad web UI when entering http://127.0.0.1:4646 +you are ready to go. + +You must have installed the Nomad command line tool on your machine (also explained in `README.md`). + +Now, on your machine, you must be able to run (from the `app/deployment` folder) : + +``` +nomad plan im.hcl +``` + +Check that the proposed diff corresponds to what you have in mind. +If it seems OK, just copy paste the proposed `nomad run ...` command proposed as part of the output of the `nomad plan` command. + +From now, it will take around ~2 minutes to deploy the new images. +You can follow the deployment from the Nomad UI. +Bear in mind that, once the deployment is done on Nomad, you may still need to wait some minutes that Traefik refreshes its configuration. + +If everythings worked as intended, you can commit and push your deployment file. + +If something went wrong, you must rollback your deployment. + 1. First, find a working deployment with [nomad job history](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/commands/job/history) + 2. Revert to this deployment with [nomad job revert](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/commands/job/revert) + +Now, if the deployment failed, you should probably investigate what went wrong offline. +In this case, I build a test stack with docker-compose in `app/integration` (for now, I had to do that only for plume and jitsi). + + -- cgit v1.2.3
