Junior Level Assignment: Automating Dockerized Deployments
Scenario:
You are tasked with automating the deployment process for a Dockerized web application. The goal is to set up a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using basic scripting and Docker concepts.
Requirements:
-
Docker Setup: Install Docker on a Linux server and set up a basic Docker environment.
-
Git Repository: Create a Git repository for the web application code.
-
CI Pipeline: Set up a basic CI pipeline using a CI tool (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI). The pipeline should:
-
Trigger on code commits to the Git repository.
-
Build the Docker image for the web application.
-
Push the Docker image to a Docker registry (e.g., Docker Hub).
-
CD Pipeline: Implement a basic CD pipeline to deploy the Dockerized application. The pipeline should:
-
Pull the latest Docker image from the registry.
-
Stop and remove existing containers.
-
Run a new container with the updated image.
-
Bash Scripts: Write Bash scripts to automate Docker-related tasks, such as building images, pushing to registries, and deploying containers.
Additional notes
-
You can use any programming language you prefer (GoLang is a plus). You are allowed to use open-source packages as you see fit.
-
Follow best practices for Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
-
Any details not specified in the description are up to you.
-
Provide clear and detailed documentation for deploying, scaling, and maintaining the platform.
