GitHub Automation App Setup with Docker

The GitHub Automation App can be deployed using Docker and Docker Compose to run as a service with configurable resource and operation settings. Multiple services can be run simultaneously using different configurations.

Prerequisites

Make sure the following installed on the system:

• Docker: Get Docker
• Docker Compose: Get Docker Compose

Docker Setup

The docker-compose.yml is configured to use a Node.js image and to run the app. This mounts the project directory to the container for live reloading.

Dockerfile

The Dockerfile is used to create a Docker image for the app.

Docker Compose File

The compose.yml file sets up a service (automation-app) to run the app:

Run multiple Services

This allows to run multiple instances of the service with different configurations and ports.

This will run the service on port 8080 with the sample-operation.yml configuration.

PORT=8080 RESOURCE_CONFIG=configs/resources/sample-resource.yml OPERATION_CONFIG=configs/operations/sample-operation.yml docker-compose -p automation-app-1 up -d

This will run the second service on port 8081 with the sample-operation-2.yml configuration.

PORT=8081 RESOURCE_CONFIG=configs/resources/sample-resource.yml OPERATION_CONFIG=configs/operations/sample-operation-2.yml docker-compose -p automation-app-2 up -d
