Playbook CI/CD Pipeline

Introduction

The Playbook project leverages a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to automate build, test, and deployment processes. This README provides a brief guide on how to use the system.

Requirements

• Docker
• Google Cloud SDK
• Kubernetes CLI (kubectl)
• Git

CI/CD Pipeline Overview

CI:

1. Login to Docker Hub: Authenticate with Docker Hub.
2. Build & Push Images: Build Docker server/client images and push them to Docker Hub.

CD:

1. Login to GCP: Authenticate with Google Cloud Platform.
2. Deploy to GKE: Deploy the server and client to Google Kubernetes Engine.

Setup & Usage

1. Clone the Repository: git clone <repo-url>
2. Navigate to Project Directory: cd <project-dir>
3. Build the Images: Run the provided build script or manually build using Docker.
4. Deploy the Application: Apply the Kubernetes deployment files to your GKE cluster.
5. Github Secrets: make sure to have all the correct secrets for the application that are specified in the .yml files
