Continuous Integration Process Documentation

Introduction

This document outlines the Continuous Integration (CI) process for deploying and managing services within our infrastructure. The process includes setting up servers, installing dependencies, deploying Dockerized containers, and managing logs and services through an Admin Dashboard.

Process Overview

The CI process is initiated to set up or update the main or slave servers. It involves installing necessary dependencies, deploying services as Dockerized containers, and managing logs for monitoring and analysis. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

1. Start CI Process: The initiation of the CI workflow.
2. Determine Deployment: Decide whether the deployment is for the main server or a slave server.
3. Deploy/Update Main Server or Slave Server: Based on the determination, proceed with the relevant deployment or update.
4. Install Dependencies: Install necessary dependencies, including Docker.
5. Deploy Systems on Dockerized Container: Deploy various systems and services as Dockerized containers.
6. Deploy Dockerized Containers as Services (DDCS): Deploy specific services required for the system's operation.
7. Ubuntu jobrain-main.server: Set up the main server that hosts various services.
8. Nginx: Deploy Nginx as part of the services for web serving or reverse proxying.
9. Cloudflare: Implement Cloudflare for security and performance enhancements.
10. Flask API: Deploy the Flask API for backend functionalities.
11. Elastic Logs: Collect and manage logs from all services for monitoring and analysis.
12. Admin Dashboard: Monitor and analyze logs through a centralized dashboard.
