using gitlab CI/CD to deploy sonarr and others

when i first got into this i was manually installing all this stuff, this is back when it was all python based like sickrage, and couchpotato. eventually i found sonarr, and radarr, and deployed the containers manually.

running my own gitlab i knew that i could just set it up so it would deploy things on its own.

sonarr CI/CD

with this new found knowledge i create a pipeline to deploy everything. this post covers how gitlab deploys sonarr in my setup. currently i have two deployments of sonarr, one for 4k and one for standard. same with radarr.





examples:

i use the linuxserver container for sonarr so i can specify the user i want it to run as. with a little google you can find the github repo its built on. clone it into your gitlab.

once you have your repo you'll need to create a docker-compose file. mine looks something like this.

with this you should be able to clone your repo and run docker-compose up

now on with gitlab, since we now are building our own images ( could just use the docker hub one) we need to have a few different stages.

here you can see that it builds, releases, does some cleanup (which doesn't do anything i think) and then sets the docker host and deploys the container to the remote host.

i chose not to group containers together as i could upgrade one without restarting the others.

if you want to deploy multiples of the same container like i do for sonarr, or resilio your deploy looks like like this.

you can specify the host, and the file you want, so just clone your docker-compose file and name one for each, and add multiple deploy stages.

until next time.
