Mateusz Mandera 51ed2442fa oneclick: Wait in a loop until the image build droplet gets an IP. 
The script will fail if we process with a droplet object with no
.ip_address, which can sometimes happen if we just droplet.load().
Sometimes that gives droplet.ip_address set to None. If we wait in a
loop, we eventuall get the .ip_address set.

One click app release automation

This directory contains scripts for automating the release of Zulip one click apps.

DigitalOcean 1-Click Application

prepare_digital_ocean_one_click_app_release.py creates the image of DigitalOcean 1-Click app from the latest Zulip release (fetched from https://download.zulip.com/server/). It will also create a test droplet from the image and send the image and droplet details to a pre-configured Zulip stream. Anyone, whose key is added to the Zulip DigitalOcean team can SSH into the droplet for testing.

Running as GitHub action

.github/workflows/update-oneclick-apps.yml is configured to invoke prepare_digital_ocean_one_click_app_release.py as a GitHub action during each Zulip server release.

You also need to set the following secrets in your GitHub repository to make the action work correctly. These secrets are passed as environment variables to the GitHub action.

  • ONE_CLICK_ACTION_DIGITALOCEAN_API_KEY - DigitalOcean API key used for creating droplets, snapshots etc.
  • ONE_CLICK_ACTION_ZULIP_BOT_API_KEY - The API key of the Zulip bot used for sending messages.
  • ONE_CLICK_ACTION_ZULIP_BOT_EMAIL - The email of the Zulip bot.

Also pass the following as environment variables in .github/workflows/update-oneclick-apps.yml.

  • PYTHON_DIGITALOCEAN_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SEC - This configures the maximum number of seconds to wait before the requests made by python-digitalocean time out. If not configured, it's common for the requests to take 20+ minutes before getting timed out.

Verifying the one click app image

  • The action will send the image name and test droplet details to the stream configured in the above steps.

  • SSH into the test droplet by following the instructions in the message. In order to do this, you need to add your SSH key to the team.

  • After logging into the test droplet, exit the installer and run the following script.

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digitalocean/marketplace-partners/master/scripts/99-img-check.sh

    This script checks whether the image created is valid. It is also run by the DigitalOcean team before they approve the image submission in the one click app marketplace.

  • If there are no errors (you can ignore most of the warnings), exit the SSH connection and reconnect.

  • Populate the details asked by the installer and verify that the installer completes successfully. One error is expected:

    User root has a populated authorized_keys file in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

    The key in that file will be the SSH key you've authenticated with. If there are other errors see the section below.

  • Use the link generated by the installer to create a new Zulip organization. Do some basic testing like sending a bunch of messages and reloading the webpage.

  • If there are no issues, submit the image in the DigitalOcean vendor portal. You need to be added to the vendor portal team for doing this. Ask Tim to add you if required. During the submission, make sure to update the blog post URL if it's a major release.

  • Keep checking the vendor portal for change in status of the submission. DigitalOcean does nominally send emails when there are updates on the submission, but we have found the emails to not always arrive.

  • If there are any issues with submission, rebuild the image by manually invoking the script and resubmit. The issues we have seen mostly in the past are caused by the dependencies getting outdated by the time the DigitalOcean team run the checks. In that case you have to just rebuild the image by invoking the script.

  • Delete the test droplet oneclickapp-{release_version}-test after you have completed testing by going to the DigitalOcean Zulip team account. If there are other existing test droplets with the same name format but with with older release versions feel free to delete them as well. These droplets are also tagged with github-action andtemporary tags.

Errors

If there are any errors while setting up the one click app installer, you have three options

  • Include the fix in the Fabric script that setups the installer. 01-initial-setup file should be a good place to include the fix. See zulip/marketplace-partners#4 for an example fix.
  • Wait for the next release to fix the error.
