How to set up and validate locally

  1. Make sure to turn on the new_environments_table feature flag. On the GitLab repository, run:
cd ./bin 
./rails console
Feature.enable(:new_environments_table) //turns on the feature flag
Feature.disable(:new_environments_table) //turns off the feature flag, takes some time to kick in
  1. Enable runners in your GDK/Gitpod -- see instructions
  2. Then add the following .gitlab-ci.yml to a project for some deployments:
stages:
    - deploy
    - stop
image: alpine:latest

deploy-prod:
    stage: deploy
    script:
        - sleep 6000
        - echo "deploying prod"
    environment:
        name: production

deploy-staging:
    stage: deploy
    script:
        - echo "deploying staging"
    environment:
        name: staging
        url: https://example.com
    when: manual

deploy-review:
    stage: deploy
    script:
        - echo "Deploying review/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
    environment:
        name: review/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
        auto_stop_in: 1 week
    only:
