1139516 - Flee Jenkins

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, defect)

Description

[Erik Rose [:erik][:erikrose]]

The maintenance of ci.mozilla.org is a very low priority now. We should flee to some other service. The difficult part is finding one on which we can run a virtualbox or some other kind of container.

The low-priority thing may not be true anymore, now that fox2mike is in charge of WebOps. He'll get back to me.

And CircleCI supports it: https://circleci.com/docs/docker

And now Travis supports it: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/. Example with 2 containers: https://github.com/travis-ci/docker-sinatra/blob/master/.travis.yml

https://github.com/mozilla/dxr/commit/602ca5f3d7815cc6d5f7cc7b90545703888e2e0b
Replace Vagrant with Docker. Fix bug 1139516. Fix bug 1068854. Fix bug 1220965. Fix bug 964460. Close #494, close #488, and close #415.

Future:
* Refactor things so they're more reusable in prod.
* Maybe publish docker images. What use is this? Will it make deploys any faster or more reliable? How do people trust them?
* Pass ES_HEAP_SIZE (or something) env var through to the es container, as described at https://hub.docker.com/r/library/elasticsearch/.
* Make sure ES data persists across container instantiations.
* Call docker-machine automatically on the Mac.
* Maybe we can move the venv back out of the source dir for performance. With docker-compose in the picture now, we may be able to convince it with volumes-from or something to not evaporate things outside the source dir from one "make shell" to the next.
* When docker-compose supports --build-arg (docker/compose#2111), we can add one for UID so we can, from an env var on the host, set the UID of the unprivileged user in the container. This will solve the problem of non-matching UIDs for Linux devs and let us get rid of the chmod in Travis.
