Deployment about web HOT 4 CLOSED

We (@jamesgeddes and I) have decided to go with Kubernetes for deploying this project. It can be complicated to manage, but multiple dev volunteers are interested in learning and managing it, and it is considered to be a draw for new volunteers who might want to learn it to add to their CV.

Importantly it is a robust and flexible platform to develop on and will almost certainly have almost if not all future GeekZone deployment needs covered.

I am currently brushing up on my Kubernetes skills using this Pluralsight path https://app.pluralsight.com/paths/skill/using-kubernetes-as-a-developer.

I plan to put together a first-pass deployment setup for this repository once I have completed the first part of this Pluralsight path.

I have put a first pass together which is available at http://test.geek.zone/. The code for this is on the kubernetes-deployment WIP branch

I now have a branch that can deploy master to the test Kubernetes cluster using circleci. This branch needs some tidying up, and I need to update the documentation but I feel like i'm 90% towards having this merged into master.

Before we go live we will have to spend some time production-ising the k8s cluster and IAM permissions etc, but I can raise a separate issue for that.
