Docker image to be used as a Watchtower HTTP API client in GitLabCI

[victorcmoura]

Greetings, everyone!

Lately, I've been using the HTTP API mode in one of my running instances and I thought a single CI job with a curl call wasn't elegant enough. That's why, inspired by cdrx/rancher-gitlab-deploy, I created victorcmoura/watchtower-gitlab-deploy to enable cleaner pipelines in GitLabCI.

Currently, the only feature is the single v1/update endpoint, and can be easily configured in a .gitlab-ci.yml job:

trigger_watchtower_update:
  stage: deploy
  image: victorcmoura/watchtower-gitlab-deploy
  script:
    - update
  only:
    - master

By setting a few env variables, the job is able to connect to the instance, authenticate and trigger an update.

It's still an initial idea and any suggestions will be appreciated =)

This is actually really really usable. Good job! 🎉
