InApp CLI

Installation

You can find binary on the realease page. You can install it manually or use one of the following commands, which downloads the binary and place it in /usr/local/bin which should be in your PATH.

• MacOS (darwin-amd64):

sudo curl -SL https://github.com/360medics/inapp-template/releases/download/0.0.13/inapp-0.0.13-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar -zxC /usr/local/bin

• Linux (linux-amd64):

sudo curl -SL https://github.com/360medics/inapp-template/releases/download/0.0.13/inapp-0.0.13-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -zxC /usr/local/bin

Or, Build from source

Requirements:

• Go (1.18beta1 or later) : We needed this feature

1. Clone the repository
2. Go to the cli sub-folder
3. go build

Usage

inapp create is a command that will create a boilerplate for your InApp. Before getting started, you should know the project name and the type (front, back or full).

Example:

inapp create -n dev-logbook -t full

You can get help for the command by using inapp help, or for a sub-command inapp create --help.

Initiate the deployment automation (internal team only)

1. Create an AWS user with the same right as the terraform user
2. Create programmatic access for the user and place it in .env of the previously created projet (using the CLI)
3. Get a CircleCI Token and place it in .env of the previously created projet (using the CLI)
4. Fill the NLB_LISTENER_PORT value in .env of the previously created projet (using the CLI)
5. Run the deploy/init.sh script, this will create CircleCI context and place needed secret variables
6. Go to CircleCI interface and track the new project repository

Introduction

This CLI should facilitate the creation of any future InApp. It create a boilerplate needed based on the InApp type, which also has the deployment (CI/CD) automation needed to deploy the InApp.

The boilerplates files are located in the cli/boilerplate folder and it's embed in the CLI binary.

But, in order to facilitate maintainability, we also kept a full InApp type at the project root. So we can clone this projet and edit the boilerplate files without having to generate an InApp.

Scripts

copy-to-boilerplate.sh - Copy the stacks (api and client) and deploy to the boilerplate folder.

Project Structure

• cli - The CLI Golang application, using viper for configuration handling and cobra for CLI logic.
• deploy - The deployment logic for the InApp, which has one Terraform module and utility scripts.
• stacks - Contains InApp specific application, which usually is only client but can also be api when the InApp is full stack.

Creating a new release

In order to create a new release that automatically builds the CLI and distribute binaries to the release assets folder, you'll need to manually create a new release with a version on GitHub.

When you're done, you probably should edit this README.md file to update binaries links.

Caveats

• Environements variables are a hell to manage across repositories (generated inapp projects). We cannot fully move to Terraform Cloud and benefit the variables managed by Terraform Cloud because remote apply (using cloud agents, workers) doesn't support starting the agents from a custom Docker image in the free tier. And this module needs to have python installed (ssh-tunnel) on the runner / worker / agent.

  If we use the entreprise tier, we would be able to fully use Terraform Cloud, without worry about having variables on each local runner (our computers).
