esp32-stm32-vcu's scripts/release.sh uses jq to rewrite the protocol
manifest before publishing it to S3. The image did not have it, so the
release aborted at:
./scripts/release.sh: line 61: jq: command not found
The failure mode is nastier than a red job. jq is only reached *after*
the firmware .bin and version.json have already been uploaded, so
clients were served the new build while the git tag, the Gitea release
and the protocol manifest were never written — the repo still showed
the previous release as latest while production served a newer one.
Only jq was missing; aws and sha256sum are already present (verified in
the rebuilt image: jq-1.7, aws-ok, sha256sum-ok).
This surfaced when the skudak firmware jobs were moved into this image
(they previously ran on the default gitea-ci image, which has jq).
Deploy Home
There's no place like home!
Just as Dorothy managed the simple task of clicking her heels together, the desire for an equally simple one-button push deployment was in my heart. Thus, this repository was made.
Ansible
Ansible, along with double encrypted secrets, deploys the necessary configurations to make the home fit for certain needs and desires. Namely, having access to my home from anywhere, securely, and a self-hosted CI server that easily ties into existing workflows.
Makefile
The makefile is primarily used as a wrapper script to ensure that necessary
files, such as the secret vault password file, are provisioned as part of this.
One such addition to the task is utilizing dependency pinning through the
utilization of Python's virtualenv to lock down the specific dependency
versions within the requirements.txt file. This, ideally, prevents any
deployment issues with dependency version woes (e.g. version conflicts, major
updates in newest versions, etc.)
