How do I build a CI/CD pipeline on Linux

Building a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline on Linux involves several steps to automate the process of software development, testing, and deployment. Below, I'll outline the key components and provide an example.

Key Components of a CI/CD Pipeline

  • Version Control System: Use Git to manage your codebase.
  • CI/CD Tool: Tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions automate the process.
  • Build Environment: Set up docker or VM for building your application.
  • Test Automation: Implement tests such as unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
  • Deployment Script: Automate deployment to staging and production environments.

Example CI/CD Pipeline Setup

Here’s a basic example pipeline configuration using GitHub Actions that builds, tests, and deploys a PHP application:

name: CI/CD Pipeline on: push: branches: - master jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout code uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Set up PHP uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2 with: php-version: '7.4' - name: Install dependencies run: | composer install - name: Run tests run: | vendor/bin/phpunit deploy: runs-on: ubuntu-latest needs: build if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/master' steps: - name: Deploy to Production run: | ssh user@yourserver.com "cd /path/to/app && git pull origin master && composer install"
