WICS Site Auto-Deployment

This service deploys new changes to the website repo to the live site!

Setup

You must have these things installed:

You will also need an AWS account with credentials set up on your machine, and shell access to the remote server (wics@aviary.cs.umanitoba.cain this case). The server must have rsync installed.

Deploy the service like so (these steps assume Linux or MacOS):

  • Generate an SSH key: mkdir -p ssh; yes | ssh-keygen -f ssh/wics. Then, log into wics@aviary.cs.umanitoba.ca (using your own key or password) and add the contents of ssh/wics.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
  • Generate a secure secret. You can do this with something like head -c256 /dev/urandom | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1 (just md5 on MacOS) or you can mash your keyboard. Save this secret somewhere. Then, run export WEBHOOK_SECRET=<the-secret>
  • Run build.sh. This will take quite a while, especially the first time.
  • Run serverless deploy --stage prod. This will also take a while the first time. At the end, a URL should appear that ends in /prod/deploy.
  • Go to the create webhook page to create a new webhook. Set the payload URL to the URL you saw in the last step. Set the secret to your WEBHOOK_SECRET. Press "Add webhook", and you're done!

You can test the synchronization step by running serverless invoke --function deploy --log. If everything is set up properly, you should see the message "Successfully synchronized site".
