pypeline is a python package that simplifies management of components that may be used in a python package CI/CD pipeline. Examples include setup of jenkins build projects and creation of GitLab projects/repositories.

It currently only supports Jenkins and GitLab for the CI and SCM frameworks respectively, but it is designed to be pluggable.

For the full API reference and CLI usage with examples, please see the full project documentation.

The tutorial contains detailed instructions on Jenkins and glusterfs setup, and example SaltStack states are provided to assist in the process.

To get up and running, the following must be installed:

• python 2.7.x
• python-pip

• Create a virtual environment and activate
• Clone this git repository
• pip install .

Optionally for sphinx document generation, pip install the following

• sphinx
• pygments
• sphinx_rtd_theme
• sphinx-argparse

It is important to set a few environment variables

• PYPELINE_GITLAB_HOST - The fqdn of the GitLab host.
• PYPELINE_GITLAB_WEBHOOK - The GitLab webhook url, for example: https://jenkins.example.com/gitlab/build_now
• PYPELINE_JENKINS_HOST - The fqdn of the jenkins host. Requires https and it is possible to append :
• PYPELINE_EMAIL - The e-mail address for Jenkins build notifications.
• PYPELINE_SSL_NO_VERIFY - Provides an encrypted communication channel, but does not verify the server's identity (both Jenkins and GitLab). Use with caution. Accepts True or False.

Create a hello_world project in the infrastructure GitLab namespace, as well as a Jenkins build project. Assumes Jenkins and GitLab are properly configured, see the tutorial for guidance

pypeline project create --project-name=hello_world --scm-namespace=infrastructure --description="hello world pypeline project" --build-project-name=hello_world

• Support for additional SCM systems and CI frameworks, with an argparse refactor -- plugins will contain args
• Develop and bundle additional SCons builder scripts
• Bundle a simple web-app that indexes the documentation and versions
• Enhance automation regarding the bringing up of pipeline components, by leveraging SaltStack further
• Bring up a functional local pypi service with additional SaltStack states
