Development on OpenShift

Getting Started With Helm

This directory contains a Helm chart which can be used to deploy a development version of this app for rapid testing.

Before you use it, you will need to download & install Helm 3.

If you are not familiar with Helm - how to configure it and run - you can start with this quickstart:

https://helm.sh/docs/intro/quickstart

Using This Chart

1. Clone the target repo:

git clone https://github.com/rht-labs/lodestar-hosting

2. Change into to the deployment directory:

cd lodestar-git-api/deployment

3. Deploy using the following Helm command:

  helm template . \
    --values values-dev.yaml \
    --set db.url=<dbUrl> \
    --set api.gitlab=<gitlabUrl> \
    --set api.engagement=<engagementUrl> \
    --set tokens.gitlab=<gitlabToken> \
    --set git.uri=<your fork> \
    --set git.ref=<your branch> \
  | oc apply -f -

It accepts the following variables

Variable	Use
git.uri	The HTTPS reference to the repo (your fork!) to build
git.ref	The branch name to build
db.url	The jdbc url to the database
api.engagement	The base URL of the Engagement data
api.gitlab	The base URL of the GitLab instance to use
tokens.gitlab	The access token to use to auth against GitLab

This will spin up all of the usual resources that this service needs in production, plus a BuildConfig configured to build it from source from the Git repository specified. To trigger this build, use oc start-build lodestar-hosting. To trigger a build from the source code on your machine, use oc start-build lodestar-hosting --from-dir=. -F
