Punk Deploy

Are you feeling lucky…?

This is a light-weight tool for building, deploying, backing-up and moving server environments based on Docker Compose. It also integrates with Docker Machine to create, initialize and migrate server nodes across most cloud providers.

Prerequisites

• You will need a master server running that will store the volume backups. It must have SSH server setup so you can access it with just your public key. Also it must have it’s own SSH keypair for logging into the new node machines.
• You will need access to a container registry where you can push your Docker images. This can be provided by Docker Hub, another cloud provider, or you can run it yourself on the master server using this docker image.
• An account with a cloud provider supported by Docker Machine (currently Digital Ocean and Scaleway are supported out-of-the box but it should be simple to add support for others)
• A docker-compose.yml file that will define what services you will run. You can use the example one we provide if you don’t have one yet.

Getting started

Clone the project and cd into it.

git clone [email protected]:damianmoore/punk-deploy.git
cd punk-deploy/

Copy the example settings file and modify it to suit your needs. You will need to fill in your access credentials for the cloud provider you wish to use if you want to try out the example.

cp settings.py.example settings.py

There’s an example Docker Compose file you can copy if you don’t have your own yet.

cp docker-compose.yml.example docker-compose.yml

It is recommended you use pipenv to create the virtual environment, install the dependencies and run.

pipenv install
pipenv shell
./run.py

If you want to use the example Docker Compose file you copied earlier, go through the following steps in the CLI menu to create a new machine and deploy a site.

• Create new machine
• Initialize machine
• Initialize/recreate docker containers

If you followed the steps above you should have a Django site running that you can access in your browser. You can find the IP address for the new machine by running ./run.py again and selecting View machines.

You can SSH into your new machine with the docker-machine command.

docker-machine ssh MACHINE_NAME

You can link the current terminal to the remote Docker instance so you can use the docker and docker-compose commands like you would locally.

eval $(docker-machine env MACHINE_NAME)
docker ps
