Build grounds droplets like in production

droplets

Build grounds DigitalOcean droplet images like in production.

In production, Grounds is using two different types of droplets:

• A droplet running docker and the whole Grounds stack inside containers. This droplet contains also fig to launch Grounds containers.
• A droplet running docker and exposing its API to the outside world. grounds-exec is running code inside docker containers with this API.

Build droplet images

• Build docker host:

    docker run -e DIGITALOCEAN_API_KEY=<your digital ocean api key>
               -e DIGITALOCEAN_CLIENT_ID=<your digital ocean client id>
               grounds/droplets build images/docker_host.json
  

• Build docker API:

    Not implemented yet.
  

Building an image will create a snapshot on digital ocean named:

{{ prefix }}-{{ image }}-{{ timestamp }}

e.g: grounds-docker-host-1414376691

Environment variables

• REPOSITORY: Repository to look for Grounds docker images. (default: grounds).
• PREFIX: Name prefix (default: grounds).
• REGION: DigitalOcean region (default: Amsterdam 3).
