a simple ansible script to pull updates from git{hub/lab}

cloudpap — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 08:38:05 +0000

I needed to pull some updates from a script saved in gitlab and deploy it on 36 servers! Well, ansible came to my rescue and below, is the simple script i created to help me with the task.

The script pulls updates from a private repo in gitlab. It will prompt the user for gitlab credentials once then proceed to deploy.

Hope it helps someone!

- hosts: my-servers
  remote_user: ubuntu
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo

  vars_prompt: 
  - name: "githubuser" 
    prompt: "Enter your github username" 
    private: no 
  - name: "githubpassword" 
    prompt: "Enter your github password" 
    private: yes

  tasks:
  - name: Pull updates from gitlab
    git: 
      repo: "https://{{ githubuser | urlencode }}:{{ githubpassword | urlencode }}@gitlab.com/gitlabuser/scripts.git"
      dest: /home/ubuntu/scripts
      update: yes
      version: main

Anyone here using Gitlab CI/CD (or any other pipeline) to deploy stuff?

Discovered this while looking around my freshly minted self-hosted Gitlab instance.

I'm intrigued by the possibilities.

I've been working straight on server via SSH, but the recent downfall of my blog's provider has inspired me to look for something more sophisticated / repeatable. Which is making me question the whole stack I'm currently using (ubuntu/docker/nginx reverse/ghost). e.g. Could I stick my blog on a static solution & use CI to roll it all up into a docker images & push that to cloudrun?

Anyway - feel free to chip in with anything CI pipeline / deployment tech related. Not really sure where I'm going with this anyway
