Add commands for managing proxy boot config. Since the proxy can be
shared by multiple applications, the configuration doesn't belong in
`config/deploy.yml`.
Instead you can set the config with:
```
Usage:
kamal proxy boot_config <set|get|clear>
Options:
[--publish], [--no-publish], [--skip-publish] # Publish the proxy ports on the host
# Default: true
[--http-port=N] # HTTP port to publish on the host
# Default: 80
[--https-port=N] # HTTPS port to publish on the host
# Default: 443
[--docker-options=option=value option2=value2] # Docker options to pass to the proxy container
```
By default we boot the proxy with `--publish 80:80 --publish 443:443`.
You can stop it from publishing ports, specify different ports and pass
other docker options.
The config is stored in `.kamal/proxy/options` as arguments to be passed
verbatim to docker run.
Where someone wants to set the options in their application they can do
that by calling `kamal proxy boot_config set` in a pre-deploy hook.
There's an example in the integration tests showing how to use this to
front kamal-proxy with Traefik, using an accessory.
Use localhost for app_with_roles and 127.0.0.1 for app. Confirm we can
deploy both and the respond to requests. Ensure the proxy is removed
once both have been removed.
1. Update to kamal-proxy 0.4.0 which creates and chowns
/home/kamal-proxy/.config/kamal-proxy to kamal-proxy
2. Use a docker volume rather than mapping in a directory, so docker
keeps it owned by the correct user
Add env files back in for secrets - hides them from process lists and
allows you to pick up the latest env file when running
`kamal app exec` without reusing.
By default look for the env file in .kamal/env to avoid clashes with
other tools using .env.
For now we'll still load .env and issue a deprecation warning, but in
future we'll stop reading those.
1. Add driver as an option, defaulting to `docker-container`. For a
"native" build you can set it to `docker`
2. Set arch as a array of architectures to build for, defaulting to
`[ "amd64", "arm64" ]` unless you are using the docker driver in
which case we default to not setting a platform
3. Remote is now just a connection string for the remote builder
4. If remote is set, we only use it for non-local arches, if we are
only building for the local arch, we'll ignore it.
Examples:
On arm64, build for arm64 locally, amd64 remotely or
On amd64, build for amd64 locally, arm64 remotely:
```yaml
builder:
remote: ssh://docker@docker-builder
```
On arm64, build amd64 on remote,
On amd64 build locally:
```yaml
builder:
arch:
- amd64
remote:
host: ssh://docker@docker-builder
```
Build amd64 on local:
```yaml
builder:
arch:
- amd64
```
Use docker driver, building for local arch:
```yaml
builder:
driver: docker
```
If you can have an alias like:
```
aliases:
rails: app exec -p rails
```
Then `kamal rails db:migrate:status` will execute
`kamal app exec -p rails db:migrate:status`.
So this works, we'll allow multiple arguments `app exec` and
`server exec` to accept multiple arguments.
The arguments are combined by simply joining them with a space. This
means that these are equivalent:
```
kamal app exec -p rails db:migrate:status
kamal app exec -p "rails db:migrate:status"
```
If you want to pass an argument with spaces, you'll need to quote it:
```
kamal app exec -p "git commit -am \"My comment\""
kamal app exec -p git commit -am "\"My comment\""
```
Aliases are defined in the configuration file under the `aliases` key.
The configuration is a map of alias name to command. When we run the
command the we just do a literal replacement of the alias with the
string.
So if we have:
```yaml
aliases:
console: app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console"
```
Then running `kamal console -r workers` will run the command
```sh
$ kamal app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console" -r workers
```
Because of the order Thor parses the arguments, this allows us to
override the role from the alias command.
There might be cases where we need to munge the command a bit more but
that would involve getting into Thor command parsing internals,
which are complicated and possibly subject to change.
There's a chance that your aliases could conflict with future built-in
commands, but there's not likely to be many of those and if it happens
you'll get a validation error when you upgrade.
Thanks to @dhnaranjo for the idea!
Validate the Kamal configuration giving useful warning on errors.
Each section of the configuration has its own config class and a YAML
file containing documented example configuration.
You can run `kamal docs` to see the example configuration, and
`kamal docs <section>` to see the example configuration for a specific
section.
The validation matches the configuration to the example configuration
checking that there are no unknown keys and that the values are of
matching types.
Where there is more complex validation - e.g for envs and servers, we
have custom validators that implement those rules.
Additonally the configuration examples are used to generate the
configuration documentation in the kamal-site repo.
You generate them by running:
```
bundle exec bin/docs <kamal-site-checkout>
```
To speed up deployments, we'll remove the healthcheck step.
This adds some risk to deployments for non-web roles - if they don't
have a Docker healthcheck configured then the only check we do is if
the container is running.
If there is a bad image we might see the container running before it
exits and deploy it. Previously the healthcheck step would have avoided
this by ensuring a web container could boot and serve traffic first.
To mitigate this, we'll add a deployment barrier. Until one of the
primary role containers passes its healthcheck, we'll keep the barrier
up and avoid stopping the containers on the non-primary roles.
It the primary role container fails its healthcheck, we'll close the
barrier and shut down the new containers on the waiting roles.
We also have a new integration test to check we correctly handle a
a broken image. This highlighted that SSHKit's default runner will
stop at the first error it encounters. We'll now have a custom runner
that waits for all threads to finish allowing them to clean up.
Allow hosts to be tagged so we can have host specific env variables.
We might want host specific env variables for things like datacenter
specific tags or testing GC settings on a specific host.
Right now you either need to set up a separate role, or have the app
be host aware.
Now you can define tag env variables and assign those to hosts.
For example:
```
servers:
- 1.1.1.1
- 1.1.1.2: tag1
- 1.1.1.2: tag2
- 1.1.1.3: [ tag1, tag2 ]
env_tags:
tag1:
ENV1: value1
tag2:
ENV2: value2
```
The tag env supports the full env format, allowing you to set secret and
clear values.
Secret and clear env variables have different lifecycles. The clear ones
are part of the repo, so it makes sense to always deploy them with the
rest of the repo.
The secret ones are external so we can't be sure that they are up to
date, therefore they require an explicit push via `envify` or `env push`.
We'll keep the env file, but now it just contains secrets. The clear
values are passed directly to `docker run`.
Add an app with roles to the integration tests. We'll deploy two web
containers and one worker. The worker just sleeps, so we are testing
that the container has booted.
The env check is not needded anymore as all the commands rely on the
env files having already been created remotely.
The only place the env is needed is when running `kamal env push` and
that will still raise an apropriate error.
During deployments both the old and new containers will be active for a
small period of time. There also may be lagging requests for older CSS
and JS after the deployment.
This can lead to 404s if a request for old assets hits a new container
or visa-versa.
This PR makes sure that both sets of assets are available throughout the
deployment from before the new version of the app is booted.
This can be configured by setting the asset path:
```yaml
asset_path: "/rails/public/assets"
```
The process is:
1. We extract the assets out of the container, with docker run, docker
cp, docker stop. Docker run sets the container command to "sleep" so
this needs to be available in the container.
2. We create an asset volume directory on the host for the new version
of the app on the host and copy the assets in there.
3. If there is a previous deployment we also copy the new assets into
its asset volume and copy the older assets into the new asset volume.
4. We start the new container mapping the asset volume over the top of
the container's asset path.
This means the both the old and new versions have replaced the asset
path with a volume containing both sets of assets and should be able
to serve any request during the deployment. The older assets will
continue to be available until the next deployment.
When replacing a container currently we:
1. Boot the new container
2. Wait for it to become healthy
3. Stop the old container
Traefik will send requests to the old container until it notices that it
is unhealthy. But it may have stopped serving requests before that point
which can result in errors.
To get round that the new boot process is:
1. Create a directory with a single file on the host
2. Boot the new container, mounting the cord file into /tmp and
including a check for the file in the docker healthcheck
3. Wait for it to become healthy
4. Delete the healthcheck file ("cut the cord") for the old container
5. Wait for it to become unhealthy and give Traefik a couple of seconds
to notice
6. Stop the old container
The extra steps ensure that Traefik stops sending requests before the
old container is shutdown.
Setting env variables in the docker arguments requires having them on
the deploy host.
Instead we'll add two new commands `kamal env push` and
`kamal env delete` which will manage copying the environment as .env
files to the remote host.
Docker will pick up the file with `--env-file <path-to-file>`. Env files
will be stored under `<kamal run directory>/env`.
Running `kamal env push` will create env files for each role and
accessory, and traefik if required.
`kamal envify` has been updated to also push the env files.
By avoiding using `kamal envify` and creating the local and remote
secrets manually, you can now avoid accessing secrets needed
for the docker runtime environment locally. You will still need build
secrets.
One thing to note - the Docker doesn't parse the environment variables
in the env file, one result of this is that you can't specify multi-line
values - see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12997.
We maybe need to look docker config or docker secrets longer term to get
around this.
Hattip to @kevinmcconnell - this was all his idea.
Set a high idle timeout on the sshkit connection pool. This will
reduce the incidence of re-connection storms when a deployment has been
idle for a while (e.g. when waiting for a docker build).
The default timeout was 30 seconds, so we'll enable keepalives at a
30s interval to match. This is to help prevent connections from being
killed during long idle periods.
Useful for checking the status of CI before deploying. Doing this at
this point in the deployment maximises the parallelisation of building
and running CI.
