Docker Deployment Guide

This document will help outline the steps needed to deploy the Rally + GitHub GitHub App as a Docker container in your environment. This method should allow for multiple automations and ease of use.

How to Deploy

Create GitHub App on GitHub

You can find all the steps to create the GitHub app from the README on the root of the source code. You will need the endpoints, and .pem created to be able to deploy the GitHub App.

Prepare the source code

You will first need to clone the source code to your local environment that will run the Docker container.

  • Clone the codebase
    • git clone https://github.com/github/rally.git
  • Change directory to inside the code base
    • cd rally/
  • Create .env from .env.example
    • cp .env.example .env
  • Update the .env with thew needed fields, such as:
    • APP_ID - The App ID of the GitHub App
    • WEBHOOK_SECRET - The secret to prevent man in the middle attacks
    • GHE_HOST - This is a required field for GitHub Enterprise Server implementations (Example: github.mycompany.com)
    • RALLY_SERVER - URL to connect to Rally
    • RALLY_USERNAME - Username to authenticate to Rally
    • RALLY_PASSWORD - Password to RALLY_USERNAME to authenticate to Rally (Note: RALLY_API_KEY is preferred method)
    • RALLY_API_KEY - API key to authenticate to Rally instead of RALLY_USERNAME and RALLY_PASSWORD rally-token
    • ENFORCE_ALL_REPOS - true or false, will set enforcement of Rally + GitHub on all repositories in the installed Organization
    • ORG_CONFIG_REPO_NAME - Repository name where an organization-level configuration can set default behavior for all repositories (Default: rally-github-config)

You will need to copy the contents of the .pem created from GitHub to the location: /opt/rally/.ssh/rally.pem. This will be used when the container is built and deployed.

Once you have the .env file configured, you are ready to start the building of the container.

Build the Docker container

Once you have configured the GitHub App and updated the source code, you should be ready to build the container.

  • Change directory to inside the code base
    • cd rally/
  • Build the container
    • sudo docker build -t rally .
  • This process should complete successfully and you will then have a Docker container ready for deployment

Run the Docker container

Once the container has been successfully built, you can deploy it and start utilizing the GitHub App.

Start the container with docker-compose

If you have docker-compose installed, you can simply start and stop the Docker container with:

  • cd rally/; docker-compose up -d This will start the container in the background and detached.

Start Docker container Detached in background

  • Start the container detached with port assigned (Assuming port 3000 for the webhook)
    • sudo docker run -d -p 3000:3000 rally
  • You should now have the container running in the background and can validate it running with the command:
    • sudo docker ps
  • This should show the rally alive and running

Start Docker container attached in forground (Debug)

  • If you need to run the container in interactive mode to validate connectivity and functionality:
    • sudo docker run -it -p 3000:3000 rally
  • You will now have the log of the container showing to your terminal, and can validate connectivity and functionality.

Connect to running Docker container (Debug)

  • If you need to connect to the container thats already running, you can run the following command:
    • sudo docker exec -it rally /bin/sh
  • You will now be inside the running Docker container and can perform any troubleshooting needed
