new release - 6.0.0 (Sep 2023) Askdot

Build, Provision and Deploy

Note: This document has been revised to incorporate updates for version 6.0.1, including testing of the cloud-agnostic feature on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

(updated on TBD)

To install SunbirdED release-6.0.0, we will need to run many Jenkins jobs and a couple of manual steps. Some of the jobs need to be run in a specific order. This page details out the list of jobs, their order and the github release tags to be used for each job.

Create Plugin Containers / Folder Structure

  • We will create few folders in object storage for storing sunbird plugins

  • Our deployment job always tries to delete the folder first before uploading, so we need to have the placeholders before running the jobs

  • Create a public object storage with the name you have set for the variable cloud_storage_content_bucketname

  • Under cloud_storage_content_bucketname create folders with below names.

    • generic-editor

    • content-editor

    • v3/preview (under v3 folder create preview folder)

  • Upload the default T&C file to cloud_storage_content_bucketname in a folder named terms-and-conditions. You can get a copy of the sample T&C file from here. You are free to edit the HTML as per your requirements

  • Create another object store with the name you have set for the variable cloud_storage_label_bucketname

  • Go to cloned sunbird-devops repo and navigate to cd sunbird-devops/utils/portal and upload all files to cloud_storage_label_bucketname

Upload Initial Plugins

  • Upload the initial set of plugins to cloud_storage_content_bucketname container

  • Download the initial Plugins from here

  • Unzip content-plugins.zip and upload all the files and folders to cloud_storage_content_bucketname/content-plugins object storage

  • Create a object storage with name you have set for the variable cloud_storage_public_bucketname with public access level

  • Create a object storage with name you have set for the variable cloud_storage_artifacts_bucketname with private access level

Upload Maxmind Database to Object storage

  • Download the Maxmind city database in zip format from Maxmind website

  • Upload the zip file to the cloud_storage_artifacts_bucketname object storage

Build source code

Note:

  • Jenkins will have many jobs which may not be documented or is not suitable for adoption yet

  • Jobs listed on this page is sufficient to setup Sunbird and not every job present in Jenkins is required to be run

  • Jobs can be run in parallel to speed up execution. The only exception is you should NOT run multiple jobs which clone the code from same repo in parallel

  • If you get errors in some of the build jobs, rerun the job again

  • The errors are usually due to missing maven jars or maven repo timeouts

  • If you get errors even after re-running the job, come back to it later, there are other jobs which would generate dependent jars

Service Provision

Note:

  • Jobs can be run in parallel to speed up execution. The only exception is you should NOT run multiple jobs which will provision packages on the same server in parallel

Artifact Upload

  • Every job in the Build directory has a corresponding job in ArtifactUpload directory with the same name

  • These jobs are auto triggered and usually run without issues after the corresponding job in the build directory succeeds

  • The job will fail if your ansible inventory setup is incorrect or incomplete

  • If the job has failed, fix the ansible variables issue and rerun the job to upload the artifact / docker image

  • Ensure the artifact upload jobs are successful before proceeding

Service Deploy

Note:

  • We will run the jobs which are a pre-requisite for other jobs first

  • The pre-requisite jobs reside in different folders so we will be jumping across folders

  • Jobs in the Deploy directory can be run in parallel and don’t have any restrictions if the code is from same repo unlike the Build directory

  • Ensure you don’t run those jobs in parallel which modify the databases (such as cassandra, neo4j etc)
