The repository contains everything needed to build a container for IRIDA and deploy to a cloud resource.
Example deployments are provided in the ./deployment folder for various destinations. For production use, it is
recommended to create your own deployment recipe using the terraform modules provided in ./desinations. Terraform
is the deployment managment software used for all deployment destinations.
To install terraform, check that your systems package manager provides it or download it from here.
IRIDAs default username and password is admin and password1 respectively.
See the module documentation for more information on this deployments capabilities and customisability.
See deployment/docker/ for instructions.
Several terraform destinations have been configured. Select one from the ./deployment/ folder that you wish to use.
See deployment/aws/ for instructions.
TODO
All cloud deployments include a dashboard server that provides administrative control of the cluster.
To access it, install kubectl and run kubectl proxy in a separate terminal.
Visit here to
access the dashboard.
To check the state of the cluster run kubectl describe node.
To restart a deployment run kubectl rollout restart -n irida deployment <deployment name>.
Configure the Kubernetes terraform provider and deploy the ./destinations/k8s module.
Configure the Nomad terraform provider and deploy the ./destinations/nomad module.
To build the containers, ensure you have buildah, docker, terraform, and ansible-playbook installed and configured. Ensure docker can be run without root privileges.
You do not need to build the containers to deploy an instance of IRIDA. Rebuilding the container is only needed if you want to customise them. There are pre-built containers already published to docker hub that work for most use cases.
Run ./irida.playbook.yml to build the container.
Run ./buildah_to_docker.sh to push the built containers to your local docker instance for testing.
Buildah and ansible are the tools used to generate the containers. The relevant paths are:
./roles- Ansible roles applied to the container./irida.playbook.yml- Run this to begin building the container./irida- IRIDA sub repository, initialise it by runninggit submodule update --init./buildah_to_*.sh- Push the built container to the local docker daemon or docker hub./vars.yml- Various configuration options for the container build process. Also imported by the deployment recipes.
Terraform is used to deploy the various resources needed to run IRIDA to the cloud provider of choice.
