Integration into existing CI/CD pipelines
You likely already have some form of CI integration with your version control system, such as GitHub Action or Travis CI, to run various checks on your code. Most of these services are set up by providing what is essentially just a shell script that is run under specific conditions.
You might want to automate deployments even further ― you might want deployments to be automatically created and updated when developers create and update Pull Requests.
Octopod can be interacted with through the octo CLI tool. This tool can be easily called from within a CI script.
✨ Creating deployments
To create a deployment (given that you have already obtained a Docker Image and uploaded it to your Image Registry in one of the previous CI steps) you simply need to call octo CLI with the following arguments:
octo create -n $NAME -t $IMAGE_TAG
$NAME is the name of the deployment you want to create. You can set it to be the name of the branch for example.
$IMAGE_TAG is the tag of the docker image you want to deploy.
🚀 Updating deployments
Updating deployments is done using the same arguments, but you need to call the create command, instead of the update command:
octo update -n $NAME -t $IMAGE_TAG
