This program serves as a utility to manage Docker stacks on Portainer. It reads Docker Compose files from a directory and deploys or updates them on the corresponding Portainer node. The directories are structured as node/stack/docker-compose.yml. The program supports real-time updates by watching the stack directory and redeploying on changes.
The program uses the following command line flags:
--portainer-address: The address of the Portainer API.--api-key: The API key for Portainer.--stack-files-dir: The directory where the stack files are located (default:./stacks/).--watch-stacks-dir(-w): If set, the program will watch the stack directory and update stacks on changes (default:false).
You can run the program with these flags like so:
./portainer-xtc --portainer-address http://portainer.example.com --api-key my-api-key --stack-files-dir /path/to/stacks --watch-stacks-dirTo build the binary for this program, you need to have Go installed on your machine. Once you have Go installed, you can build the binary by running the following command in the root directory of the project:
make buildThis will produce a binary named portainer-xtc in the current directory.
To build a Docker image for this program, you need to have Docker installed on your machine. Once you have Docker installed, you can build the image by running the following command in the root directory of the project:
docker build -t myusername/portainer-xtc .Replace myusername with your Docker Hub username. This will produce a Docker image named myusername/portainer-xtc.
You can then run the Docker image with the following command:
docker run -v /path/to/stacks:/stacks myusername/portainer-xtc --portainer-address http://portainer.example.com --api-key my-api-key --stack-files-dir /stacks --watch-stacks-dirReplace /path/to/stacks with the path to your stack files. This command will run the portainer-xtc Docker container and map the local directory /path/to/stacks to the /stacks directory in the container.
