Openshift

Staging and production is deployed in Openshift. You should read more about Openshift's own documentation and Kubernetes documentation to understand more.

Updating deployments

Auto-deploying pods when new images are pulled from Github doesn't work at the moment because of a bug in Openshift. Until it is fixed the deployments have to be updated manually.

1. Select role as developer if there is an option. Otherwise skip this.
2. Go to Topology
3. Select backend or frontend
4. From Actions dropdown menu select "Edit Deployment"
5. Select Form view if not selected.
6. Tick Auto deploy when new Image is available
7. Save

If there was a new version of an image, a new pod should be created and the old one destroyed after the new pod is up and running.

Same goes for production.

Trying to update the staging right after merging a pull request might not always work because Openshift pulls the new image from Github packages roughly every 15mins.
