Overview
How to Create a CI/CD Workflow with Tower and Git
In this video, we dive into creating a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflow using Tower and Git.
This setup helps streamline the process of committing changes to a staging server and managing version control efficiently. I walk you through installing Tower, connecting to a remote server, setting up SSH keys, and finally, pushing changes from your local environment to the cloud. In this video, I explained how to set up a CI/CD workflow using Tower and Git. We began by installing Tower and configuring it with our Git service. Next, we created SSH keys for secure communication with our remote server. We then cloned our project repository and staged changes through Tower. Finally, we pushed these changes to our staging server and verified the upload using Transmit. This comprehensive guide ensures you can manage your deployments efficiently and maintain version control effortlessly.
Summary
- Introduction to CI/CD with Tower: We start by understanding the need for a CI/CD flow and how Tower simplifies the process compared to using the terminal.
- Installing and Setting Up Tower: The installation process involves naming the project, entering an email, and skipping the default Git services to use our own.
- Configuring SSH Keys: We create SSH keys using Transmit, copy the public key to our server, and establish a secure connection.
- Cloning the Repository: The project repository is cloned from the server to our local machine, and files are prepared for staging.
- Staging and Committing Changes: Files are staged and committed in Tower, creating a version history before pushing them to the server.
- Pushing Changes to the Server: Committed changes are pushed to the staging server, verified using Transmit.
- Verifying the Deployment: We confirm the successful upload by accessing the files on the server through Transmit.
- Setting Up Craft Locally and on Server: Craft CMS is installed both locally and on the server, with adjustments made to environment variables.
- Accessing the Project via Terminal: Using Nitro, a testing domain is added, and the project's local setup is verified.
- Final Verification: The video concludes with a local domain test to ensure the installation works correctly.
