CI-ROBOTICS

Guide

Requirement

1. Install docker in all nodes.
2. Give root access to docker(https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).
3. Install docker-composer in Master node.

Master computer

The following is only run once in your master comuter.

1. Fork this repo to your github account and then git clone from your repo to local(because you will push some necessary information to your repo for node in next steps).
2. Run cd ciRobotics
3. Run . masterStart.sh to init a swarm and create a gitlab server.
4. Wait two minutes to start a gitlab server. Go to localhost:7001 to check whether the gitlab is ready.
5. If it is ready, the page will ask you to set a password. Set any password you want. Then you will have a root accout with username root and password you have just seted.
6. Go to Admin/runner/shared runner to copy the shared runner token.
7. Paste the runner token in file sharedrunnertoken.txt
8. Run . runnerReg.sh to register a shared runner for the gitlab.
9. Run . masterService.sh to start a swarm service. Here, some info abot master computer will be pushed to github under your account.
10. RUN sudo ./enjoy.sh. This step need a sudo privilege becasue it will add a domain name in your /etc/hosts and modify /etc/docker/daemon.json to use registry in an easy way(insecure).

Worker computers

1. git clone your repo in local. Careful, not MISTLab/ciRobotics
2. Run cd ciRobotics
3. RUN sudo ./enjoy.sh. This step need a sudo privilege becasue it will add a domain name in your /etc/hosts and modify /etc/docker/daemon.json to use registry in an easy way(insecure).

Example use case

After setup the Master computer and Worker computers successfully, then it will be easy to use it in any of your projects.

1. Go to your github project folder.
2. Run git remote add *your_local_gitlab_project_address*
3. Run git remote set-url --add --push origin *your_local_gitlab_project_address*
4. Run git remote show origin to check whether you have both push address.
5. Add .gitlab-ci.yml and Dockerfile and enjoy the continuous intergration of robotics software.
