Description
Project Details
Samagra DevOps was made with the aim to standardize and ease the process of deploying projects on our servers. Its design majorly focuses on being a modular and lightly coupled architecture that can be used both on public cloud providers and restricted environments of government serves without not internet.
Our first iteration of this pipeline is done and currently being rigorously used at https://github.com/Unified-Learner-Passbook/ULP-devops and now we are looking forward to the next iteration of this pipeline.

Features to be implemented
- Dockerizing the components of the DevOps pipeline (Jenkins Server, Vault, private registry) to easily reproduce the setup on any restricted environment and server along with one-click deployment of pipelines in Jenkins.
- A script generator that generates templates for ansible roles for new services to be onboarded in the DevOps pipeline
- Writing a comprehensive guide for the DevOps pipeline for developers to easily understand the whole process of onboarding new services.
- Secure the private registry and setup basic Auth in it, so that it can be accessed over public IP if needed.
- Modify existing ansible roles to add service configurations on each docker swarm node (which are mounted as volumes in the containers) or research and implement other ways to share service configurations on different docker swarm nodes. (Hashicorp Vault is used to store the secrets or environment variables, but some services need specific configuration files (.yml, .json) to be mounted as well for them to work)
- Clean up and refactor ansible roles.
