Manage multiple hosts

[mirisbowring]

Hi,

first of all, thank you for this greate and easy to use tool!

My Situation

Ich have multiple hosts that run different compose stacks.
I would like to manage my "Application Landscape" in one repo (not in one repo per hosts) -> adding / removing a host will be much easier.

As far as i understood the current concept, the doco-cd.yaml lists the apps to be deployed.

Is it possible to have a doco-cd.yaml per host? Or even better, have a yaml attribute called "host" or something?

Thank you very much!

If you use webhooks, you can specify a target configuration in the path of the URI: https://github.com/kimdre/doco-cd/wiki/Endpoints#with-custom-target
If you use polling you can specify the target in the poll config: https://github.com/kimdre/doco-cd/wiki/Poll-Settings

AH i see, thanks for pointing me out. So "moving" a stack from A to B would mean that i just rename the compose file in theory?

[kimdre]

You can write multiple .doco-cd.<host>.yaml files for each of your hosts and reference your compose projects in them. Then you just specify that .doco-cd.<host>.yaml file in the webhook url to or poll config of the doco-cd instance of your host.

ah, this is an perfect approach! Thank you

Hey, thanks for the answer, I have another question about the same subject. If I understand correctly, for multiple targets (multiple server), I have to (if I want to use Webhook):

• Install doco-cd on each server
• Open one port per server
• Add each server to webhooks

So I will have to open X ports on my network (one per service)?

[kimdre]

Yes you would need to open a port for each doco-cd instance.
I would suggest you use a reverse proxy so you can reach instance over a sub-domain and only need to open one single port.

Definitely what I will do! Thanks!
