Deployment

Development

To get the site up and running on your machine:

1. cd deploy
2. Make sure you have access to view the Google Cloud secret defined as GC_READER_KEY_SECRET. This ensures that you can download necessary third-party plugins and site content.
3. In the parent directory of this repository, clone all repositories listed in DEV_REPOS. These are only needed while doing local development.
4. ./cmds/init-local-dev.sh
5. ./cmds/build-local-dev.sh
6. ./cmds/generate-deployment-files.sh
7. ./cmds/get-env-file.sh dev to download the env file.
8. You should have a directory called datalab-main-site-local-dev.Enter it, and run docker compose up -d

If you are using the init/backup utilities, you will need make sure that you have access to the service account secrets. gc-reader-key.json and gc-writer-key.json should have content for the init and backup containers, respectively. Keys are fetced in init-local-dev, but they also have their own dedicated scripts.

Adding a New Third Party Plugin

All plugins are version-controlled, hosted in a Google Cloud Bucket, and downloaded into the image during the build process. To add a plugin:

1. Download and upload the plugin to the Google Cloud Bucket specified in GC_BUCKET_PLUGINS.
2. Add the version to config.sh
3. Add as an environmental variable to build.sh
4. Define zip filename in Dockerfile
5. Define args in gcloud and wordpress builds in Dockerfile
6. Add to gsutil cp command in gcloud build
7. Copy, unzip, and rm zip in wordpress build
8. Rebuild the image
9. You will still need to go to the Plugins admin page and hit "Activate" or use the wp-cli.
