Stage consists of 2 parallel jobs: - - C tests - executed every time - - dashboard.js - test if source files create the same file as it is in current repo - - coverity test - executed only when pipeline was triggered from cron - -### Build - -Stage is executed every time and consists of 5 parallel jobs which execute containerized and non-containerized -installations of netdata. Jobs are run on following operating systems: - - OSX - - ubuntu 14.04 - - ubuntu 16.04 (containerized) - - CentOS 6 (containerized) - - CentOS 7 (containerized) - - alpine (containerized) - -Images for system containers are stored on dockerhub and are created from Dockerfiles located in -[netdata/helper-images](https://github.com/netdata/helper-images) repository. - -### Packaging - -This stage is executed only on "master" brach and allows us to create a new tag just looking at git commit message. -It executes one script called `releaser.sh` which is responsible for creating a release on GitHub by using -[hub](https://github.com/github/hub). This script is also executing other scripts which can also be used in other -CI jobs: - - `.travis/tagger.sh` - - `.travis/generate_changelog.sh` - - `packaging/docker/build.sh` - - `.travis/create_artifacts.sh` - -Alternatively new release can be also created by pushing new tag to master branch. -Additionally this step is also executing `.travis/labeler.sh` which is a temporary workaround to automatically label -issues and PR. This script should be replaced with GitHub Actions when they are available to public. - -##### tagger.sh - -Script responsible to find out what will be the next tag based on a keyword in last commit message. Keywords are: - - `[netdata patch release]` to bump patch number - - `[netdata minor release]` to bump minor number - - `[netdata major release]` to bump major number - - `[netdata release candidate]` to create a new release candidate (appends or modifies suffix `-rcX` of previous tag) -All keywords MUST be surrounded with square brackets. -Tag is then stored in `GIT_TAG` variable. - -##### generate_changelog.sh - -Automatic changelog generator which updates our CHANGELOG.md file based on GitHub features (mostly labels and pull -requests). Internally it uses -[github-changelog-generator](https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator) and more -information can be found on that project site. - -##### build.sh and create_artifacts.sh - -Scripts used to build new container images and provide release artifacts (tar.gz and makeself archives) - -### Nightlies - -##### Tarball and self-extractor build AND Nightly docker images - -As names might suggest those two jobs are responsible for nightly netdata package creation and are run every day (in -cron). Combined they produce: - - docker images - - tar.gz archive (soon to be removed) - - self-extracting package - -This is achieved by running 2 scripts described earlier: - - `create_artifacts.sh` - - `build.sh` - -Artifacts are pushed to GCS and container images are stored in docker hub. - -##### Changelog generation - -This job is responsible for regenerating changelog every day by executing `generate_changelog.sh` script. This is done -only once a day due to github rate limiter. - +- SLACK_USERNAME - This is required for the slack notifications triggered by travis pipeline +- SLACK_CHANNEL - This is the channel that Travis will be posting messages +- SLACK_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_URL - This is the incoming URL webhook as provided by slack integration. Visit Apps integration in slack to generate the required hook +- SLACK_BOT_NAME - This is the name your bot will appear with on slack + +## CI workflow details +Our CI pipeline is designed to help us identify and mitigate risks at all stages of implementation. +To accommodate this need, we used [Travis CI](http://www.travis-ci.com) as our CI/CD tool. +Our main areas of concern are: +1) Only push code that is working. That means fail fast so that we can improve before we reach the public + +2) Reduce the time to market to minimum, by streamlining the release process. + That means a lot of testing, a lot of consistency checks, a lot of validations + +3) Generated artifacts consistency. We should not allow broken software to reach the public. + When this happens, it's embarassing and we struggle to eliminate it. + +4) We are an innovative company, so we love to automate :) + + +Having said that, here's a brief introduction to Netdata's improved CI/CD pipeline with Travis. +Our CI/CD lifecycle contains three different execution entry points: +1) A user opens a pull request to netdata/master: Travis will run a pipeline on the branch under that PR +2) A merge or commit happens on netdata/master. This will trigger travis to run, but we have two distinct cases in this scenario: + a) A user merges a pull request to netdata/master: Travis will run on master, after the merge. + b) A user runs a commit/merge with a special keyword (mentioned later). + This triggers a release for either minor, major or release candidate versions, depending the keyword +3) A scheduled job runs on master once per day: Travis will run on master at the scheduled interval + +To accommodate all three entry points our CI/CD workflow has a set of steps that run on all three entry points. +Once all these steps are successfull, then our pipeline executes another subset of steps for entry points 2 and 3. +In travis terms the "steps" are "Stages" and within each stage we execute a set of activities called "jobs" in travis. + +### Always run: Stages that running on all three execution entry points + +## Code quality, linting, syntax, code style +At this early stage we iterate through a set of basic quality control checks: +- Shell checking: Run linters for our various BASH scripts +- Checksum validators: Run validators to ensure our installers and documentation are in sync +- Dashboard validator: We provide a pre-generated dashboard.js script file that we need to make sure its up to date. We validate that. + +## Build process +At this stage, basically, we build :-) +We do a baseline check of our build artifacts to guarantee they are not broken +Briefly our activities include: +- Verify docker builds successfully +- Run the standard netdata installer, to make sure we build & run properly +- Do the same through 'make dist', as this is our stable channel for our kickstart files + +## Artifacts validation +At this point we know our software is building, we need to go through the a set of checks, to guarantee +that our product meets certain epxectations. At the current stage, we are focusing on basic capabilities +like installing in different distributions, running the full lifecycle of install-run-update-install and so on. +We are still working on enriching this with more and more use cases, to get us closer to achieving full stability of our software. +Briefly we currently evaluate the following activities: +- Basic software unit testing +- Non containerized build and install on ubuntu 14.04 +- Non containerized build and install on ubuntu 18.04 +- Running the full netdata lifecycle (install, update, uninstall) on ubuntu 18.04 +- Build and install on CentOS 6 +- Build and install on CentOS 7 +(More to come) + +### Nightly operations: Stages that run daily under cronjob +The nightly stages are related to the daily nightly activities, that produce our daily latest releases. +We also maintain a couple of cronjobs that run during the night to provide us with deeper insights, +like for example coverity scanning or extended kickstart checksum checks + +## Nightly operations +At this stage we run scheduled jobs and execute the nightly changelog generator, coverity scans, +labeler for our issues and extended kickstart files checksum validations. + +## Nightly release +During this stage we are building and publishing latest docker images, prepare the nightly artifacts +and deploy them (the artifacts) to our google cloud service provider. + + +### Publishing +Publishing is responsible for executing the major/minor/patch releases and is separated +in two stages: packaging preparation process and publishing. + +## Packaging for release +During packaging we are preparing the release changelog information and run the labeler. + +## Publish for release +The publishing stage is the most complex part in publishing. This is the stage were we generate and publish docker images, +prepare the release artifacts and get ready with the release draft. -- cgit v1.2.3
