CI/CD

what is Github Actions CI/CD

CI/CD: Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment

CI → automatically check/test code every push

CD → automatically deploy code when it passes CI

Github Actions: Github’s automation system

when something is pushed,

github server:

• makes new ubuntu vm
• clones your repo
• does steps outlined in .github/workflows/ci.yaml

.github/workflows/ci.yaml commonly contains:

• npm run build
• npm run lint
• uv run pytest

pytest: python test framework. write test cases.

---

the pr itself:

create .github/workflows/ci.yml

name: CI

on:
	push:
		...
	pull_request:
		...

jobs:
	backend:
		...
	
	frontend:
		...

!! this completes the CI part, but not the CD part

dont want to automatically deploy to nc01 just yet

omg it works yay!

THE DOCKER CI/CD PART

build docker container on local

compose.build.yaml file

push container to github container registry (ghcr)

nc01 server pulls image from ghcr

compose.yaml

docker compose down, up

done through a jenkins job
